Abstract

Futbolun talepleri son zamanlarda önemli ölçüde değişmiş ve artmıştır. Günümüzde bir futbol müsabakası sırasında, oyuncuların daha fazla güce sahip olmaları, yüksek şiddet gerektiren hareketleri daha sık ve sayıda yapmaları ve daha uzun mesafeleri kat etmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı futbolcuların sprint, çeviklik ve reaktif çeviklik performansları arasındaki farklılıkları araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya toplam 59 erkek futbolcu (14-19 yaşlar arası) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Oyuncular yaşlarına göre 15 yaş altı (U-15; n = 20), 17 yaş altı (U-17; n = 20) ve 19 yaş altı (U-19; n = 19) oyuncular olarak 3 grupta değerlendirilmiştir. Katılımcılara 10-30m sprint, çeviklik t testi ve reaktif çeviklik testleri uygulanmıştır. Tüm verilerin normallik testi varsayımını karşılayıp karşılamadığını doğrulamak için Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarının karşılaştırmaları ise tek yönlü ANOVA ile yapılmıştır. ANOVA sonuçları, anlamlı bir grup etkisi gösterdiğinde, gruplar arası farklılıkları belirlemede post-hoc Bonferroni testi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlı farklılık tespit edilen tek yönlü varyans analizi deseninde değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin gücünü hesaplamak için eta-kare (etki büyüklüğü) (η2) katsayısından faydalanılmıştır. Grup karşılaştırmalarında, katılımcıların 10 m sprint (F= 6,29, p <0.05), 30 m sprint (F= 8,25, p <0.05), çeviklik t testi (F= 33,49, p <0.05)) ve reaktif çeviklik performanslarında (F= 48,12 p <0.05) anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, katılımcıların performans parametrelerinde yaşa bağlı olarak bazı iyileşmeler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
