Futbolcularda FIFA 11+ Isınma Programı ile Kombine Edilmiş Fizyoterapi Temelli Isınma Yöntemlerinin Bazı Performans Parametreleri Üzerine Etkisinin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışma futbolcularda FIFA 11+ ısınma programi ile kombine edilmiş fizyoterapi temelli ısınma yöntemlerinin bazı performans parametreleri üzerine etkisinin karşılaştırılması amacıyla tekrarlı ölçüm deneysel desen çalışma modeli olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırma Iğdır Üniversitesi Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi öğrencileri arasından seçilen en az 3 yıldır lisanslı olarak futbol oynayan 19-22 yaş aralığında 19 katılımcı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri 01.10.2025-30.11.2025 tarihleri arasında Iğdır Üniversitesi Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi spor salonunda alınmıştır. FIFA 11+ ısınma programı uygulanan katılımcıların seçili motorik ve fizyolojik parametre ölçümleri (30 m sürat, diz fleksiyonu normal eklem hareketi ölçümü, quadriceps ve hamstring kas kuvveti ölçümü, flamingo denge testi, illinois çeviklik testi, rast testi) yapılmış, sonrasında da farklı günlerde sırasıyla FIFA 11+ ısınma programıyla kombine edilen kuru kupa uygulaması, graston tekniği uygulaması ve vakum enterferans uygulaması yapılarak aynı ölçümler tekrar edilmiştir. Fizyoterapi temelli yöntemler katılımcıların quadriceps ve hamstring kaslarına uygulanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde normallik varsayımı Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi ile varyans homojenliği ise Levene testi ile değerlendirilmiş; her iki test sonucunda da p-değerlerinin 0,05’ten büyük olması nedeniyle verilerin normal dağılım gösterdiği ve varyansların homojen olduğu belirlenmiştir. Farklı ısınma yöntemleri arasındaki anlamlılık analizi için tekrarlı ölçümlerde ANOVA testi, gruplar arasındaki farkı bulmak için Post-Hoc Bonferroni testi uygulanmıştır. Tüm analizler IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 kullanılarak yapılmış, anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.05 olarak alınmıştır. Araştırmada katılımcıların boy ortalamalarını (178.26±7.26 cm), yaş ortalamalarının (20.05±1.35 yıl), kilo ortalamalarının (74.47±12.14 kg) ve spor yaşı ortalamalarının (5.26±2.47 yıl) olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda FIFA 11+ ısınma programıyla kombine edilen kuru kupa, graston tekniği ve vakum enterferans uygulamlarında sadece FIFA 11+ ısınma programı uygulamasına göre sürat, kas kuvveti, denge ve çeviklik ölçümlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede farklılık olduğu ve kombine ısınma yöntemlerin sürat, çeviklik, denge ve kuvvet yeteneklerini geliştirmede etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Normal eklem hareketi ve koşu tabanlı anaerobik sprint testi (RAST) değerleri karşılaştırmasında ise sadece FIFA 11+ ısınma programı uygulaması ile diğer kombine uygulamalar arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır.

Comparison of the Effects of Physiotherapy Based Warm-Up Methods Combined with FIFA 11+ Warm-Up Program on Some Performance Parameters in Football Players

Abstract

This study was conducted as a repeated measurement experimental design study model to compare the effects of physiotherapy-based warm-up methods combined with the FIFA 11+ warm-up program on some performance parameters in football players. The research was conducted with 19 participants between the ages of 19-22, selected from among the students of Iğdır University Faculty of Sports Sciences, who have been playing football with a license for at least 3 years. The data of the research were taken between 01.10.2025 and 30.11.2025 at the Iğdır University Faculty of Sports Sciences gym. Selected motoric and physiological parameter measurements (30 m speed, knee flexion normal joint motion measurement, quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength measurement, Flamingo balance test, Illinois agility test, RAST test) were performed on participants who underwent the FIFA 11+ warm-up program, and then the same measurements were repeated on different days by performing dry cupping application, graston technique application and vacuum interference application combined with the FIFA 11+ warm-up program, respectively. Physiotherapy-based methods were applied to the participants' quadriceps and hamstring muscles. In the evaluation of the data, the normality assumption was evaluated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and the variance homogeneity was evaluated with the Levene test; since the p-values were greater than 0.05 in both test results, it was determined that the data showed a normal distribution and the variances were homogeneous. For the significance analysis between different warm-up methods, ANOVA test was used for repeated measures, and Post-Hoc Bonferroni test was used to find the difference between the groups. All analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0, and the significance level was taken as p<0.05. In the study, it was determined that the participants' average height was (178.26±7.26 cm), average age was (20.05±1.35 years), average weight was (74.47±12.14 kg) and average sports age was (5.26±2.47 years). As a result of the research, it was seen that there were statistically significant differences in speed, muscle strength, balance and agility measurements in dry cupping, graston technique and vacuum interference applications combined with the FIFA 11+ warm-up program compared to the FIFA 11+ warm-up program application alone and that the combined warm-up methods were effective in improving speed, agility, balance and strength abilities. In the comparison of normal joint movement and running-based anaerobic sprint test (RAST) values, no statistically significant difference was found between the FIFA 11+ warm-up program application alone and the other combined applications.
