Basketbol Oyuncularında Core Antrenmanının Alt Ekstremite Kuvveti Üzerindeki Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sekiz haftalık core kuvvet antrenman programının elit düzey erkek basketbol oyuncularında alt ekstremite kuvveti üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmaya gönüllü olarak toplam 24 sporcu katılmış ve sporcular rastgele olarak, düzenli basketbol antrenmanlarına ek olarak core antrenmanı uygulayan deney grubu (n=12) ile standart antrenman rutinlerine devam eden kontrol grubu (n=12) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Core antrenman programı, haftada üç gün uygulanmış, vücut ağırlığı egzersizleri, direnç bantları ve egzersiz toplarını içeren progresif egzersizlerden oluşmuştur. Alt ekstremite kuvveti, ISOMED 2000 izokinetik dinamometre kullanılarak, 60°/s ve 180°/s açısal hızlarda konsantrik fleksiyon ve ekstansiyon ölçümleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Zaman (ön test–son test) ve grup (deney ve kontrol) etkileşimlerini analiz etmek için karma desenli tekrarlı ölçümler ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Deney grubunda tepe tork, açısal hız ve tekrar sayısı dâhil olmak üzere izokinetik kuvvet parametrelerinde anlamlı gelişmeler olduğu (p < 0.05), kontrol grubunda ise minimal ya da negatif değişimler olduğu görülmüştür. Son test karşılaştırmaları da gruplar arasında deney grubu lehine anlamlı farklar olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bulgular, core kuvvet antrenmanının alt ekstremite kuvvetini etkili bir şekilde geliştirebildiğini ve elit düzey basketbol oyuncularında performansa olumlu katkı sağlayabileceğini göstermektedir.

The Impact of Core Training on Lower Limb Strength in Basketball Players

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an eight-week core strength training program on lower limb strength in elite-level male basketball players. A total of 24 athletes voluntarily participated in the study and were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n=12), which received core training in addition to their regular basketball practice, or a control group (n=12), which continued with their standard training routines. The core training program consisted of progressive exercises performed three times per week, incorporating bodyweight movements, resistance bands, and exercise balls. Lower limb strength was assessed using the ISOMED 2000 isokinetic dynamometer, measuring concentric flexion and extension at angular velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s. A mixed-design repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze time (pre- and post-test) and group (experimental and control) interactions. The results showed significant improvements in the experimental group’s isokinetic strength parameters, including peak torque, angular velocity, and repetition count (p < 0.05), while the control group showed minimal or negative changes. Post-test comparisons also revealed significant differences between groups in favor of the experimental group. These findings indicate that core strength training can effectively improve lower limb strength and may contribute positively to performance in elite-level basketball players.
