TENİSÇİLERDE ANAEROBİK GÜCÜN ITN PUANI VE TOP HIZI İLE İLİŞKİSİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmada amaç, tenisçilerde anaerobik gücün ITN puanı ve top hızı ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Yöntem: Araştırmaya, 26 tenis sporcusu (yaş 24,2±4,34 yıl) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcıların anaerobik güç (zirve güç (W/kg), ortalama güç (W/kg), minimum güç (W/kg) ve güç kaybı (%)) değerleri Wingate test protokolü, ITN puanları standart ITN test protokolü ve forehand, backhand ve servis top hızları Staneg marka top atma cihazı ve Bushnell marka radar cihazı ile ölçülmüştür. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 22.0 programı kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde normallik varsayımının sağlandığından Pearson korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların zirve güç ile ortalama güç, minimum güç, güç kaybı ve servis hızı arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların ortalama güç değerleri ile ITN puanları arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Top hızları ve ITN puanları incelendiğinde ise forehand, backhand ve servis hızları arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişki tespit edilirken forehand, backhand ve servis hızları ile ITN puanları arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak araştırmada zirve güç değerlerinin yüksek olmasının servis hızı değerlerini olumlu yönde etkilediği, benzer olarak ortalama güçteki yüksekliğin ITN puanlarını yükselttiği tespit edilirken, top hızı değerlerinin de ITN puanlarını olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.

The Relationship Between Anaerobic Power and Itn Score and Ball Speed in Tennis Players

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between anaerobic power and ITN score and ball speed in tennis players. Material Methods: In the study, 26 tennis athletes (age 24.2±4.34 years) participated voluntarily. Anaerobic power (peak power (W/kg), average power (W/kg), minimum power (W/kg) and power drop (%)) values of the participants were measured by Wingate test protocol, ITN scores were measured by standard ITN test protocol and forehand, backhand and serve ball speeds were measured by Staneg brand ball throwing device and Bushnell brand radar device. SPSS 22.0 programme was used for data analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was applied in the evaluation of the data since the normality assumption was met. Findings: A positive significant relationship was found between the participants' peak power and average power, minimum power, power drop and service speed. A positive significant relationship was found between the average power values of the participants and their ITN scores. When ball speeds and ITN scores were analysed, a positive significant relationship was found between forehand, backhand, and service speeds, while a positive significant relationship was found between forehand, backhand, and service speeds and ITN scores. Results: As a result, it was determined that higher peak power values positively affected the service speed values, similarly, higher average power values increased the ITN scores, while ball speed values positively affected the ITN scores.
