The Effect of Competition Period Training on Hematologic Parameters in Elite Women Soccer Players

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of training on some hematologic parameters in elite female soccer players. 18 female soccer players from Batman Belediye 1955 Sports Club and 18 sedentary female students participated in the study voluntarily. The mean age of the experimental group was 19.67±1.57 years and the mean height was 1.62±0.02 m. The mean age of the control group was 19.78±1.48 years and the mean height was 1.61±0.03 m. The experimental group participated in a 12-week training period for the competition, while the control group did not participate in any sporting activities. Blood samples were collected from all subjects before and after the 12-week period. At the end of the study, RBC, HGB and HCT values of blood parameters were compared. SPSS 25 package program was used for statistical analysis of the data. Due to the normal distribution of the data, Paired Sample T Test was used for pre-test - post-test comparisons of the groups and Independent Samples T Test was used for inter-group comparisons. At the end of the study, no significant changes were observed in RBC (p = 0.39), HGB (p = 0.52), and HTC (p = 0.44) values between the pre-test and post-test measurements in the experimental group. Similarly, no significant changes were observed in the control group in terms of RBC (p = 0.28), HGB (p = 0.53), and HTC (p = 0.11) values. It was determined that there was no change between the pre-test and post-test measurements of elite female soccer players due to the training program of the competition period.

Elit Kadın Futbolcularda Müsabaka Dönemi Antrenmanının Hematolojik Parametreler Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, elit kadın futbolcularda müsabaka dönemi uygulanan antrenmanların bazı hematolojik parametrelere etkisinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya Batman Belediye 1955 Spor Kulübünde futbol oynayan 18 kadın futbolcu ve 18 sedanter kadın öğrenci gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Deney grubu yaş ortalaması 19.67±1.57 yıl, boy ortalaması 1.62±0.02 m, kontrol grubu yaş ortalaması 19.78±1.48 yıl, boy ortalaması ise 1.61±0.03 m’dir. Deney grubu 12 hafta boyunca müsabaka dönemi antrenmanlarına katılmış, kontrol grubu ise herhangi bir sportif aktiviteye katılmamıştır. Tüm deneklerden 12 haftalık müsabaka dönemi öncesi ve sonrası kan örnekleri alınmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda kan parametrelerinden RBC, HGB ve HCT değerleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Verilerin istatistiki analizinde SPSS 25 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılım göstermesinden dolayı grupların ön test – son test karşılaştırmaları için Paired Sample T Testi, gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar için Independent Samples T Testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda deney grubu ön test-son test ölçümleri arasında RBC (p = 0,39), HGB (p = 0,52) ve HTC (p = 0,44) değerlerinde anlamlı değişiklik gözlemlenmemiştir. Benzer şekilde kontrol grubunda da RBC (p = 0,28), HGB (p = 0,53) ve HTC (p = 0,11) değerlerinde anlamlı değişiklik gözlemlenmemiştir. Elit kadın futbolcuların müsabaka dönemi antrenmanları ön test-son test ölçümleri arasında müsabaka dönemi antrenman programından kaynaklı bir değişikliğin olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
