THE EFFECT OF REGULAR SWIMMING EDUCATION ON CHILDREN'S SOME ANTHROPOMETRIC PARAMETERS AND HANDGRIP STRENGTH

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of 12-week regular basic swimming trainings on anthropometric measurements and handgrip strength of children aged 8-10. 96 male children attended the research. 48 of the children formed the control group and 48 of them formed the experimental group. Pretest measurements of 48 children in the experimental group were made before basic swimming trainings that would last for 12 weeks and posttest measurements were made after trainings. The same measurements were taken from the other 48 children in the control group, yet any training was not applied to them. Basic swimming education was given in line with complete recovery principle to the experimental group for 12 weeks-three days a week and 60 minutes a day

DÜZENLI YÜZME EĞITIMININ ÇOCUKLARIN BAZI ANTROPOMETRIK PARAMETRELER VE EL KAVRAMA KUVVETI ÜZERINE ETKISI

Abstract

ÖZET:Bu çalışmada; 12 haftalık düzenli temel yüzme antrenmanlarının 8-10 yaş erkek çocuklarında bazı antropometrik ölçümler ve el pençe kuvvetlerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan 96 erkek çocuğun, tesadüfü olarak yaş ortalaması 8,19±0,79 yıl olan 48 çocuk deney grubu ve yaş ortalaması 8,50±1,40 yıl olan 48 çocuk kontrol grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. Deney grubunda yer alan 48 çocuktan 12 hafta devam edecek olan temel yüzme antrenmanlarına başlanmadan önce ön test, antrenmanlar bitiminde ise son test ölçümleri alınmıştır. Kontrol grubunda yer alan 48 çocuktan ise deney grubuyla eş zamanlı ön test ve son test ölçümleri alınmış bu gruptaki çocuklara herhangi bir antrenman yaptırılmamıştır. Deney grubuna 12 hafta süreyle haftada üç gün ve günde 60 dakika olmak üzere tam dinlenme ilkesine uygun şekilde temel yüzme antrenmanları yaptırılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen verilerin değerlendirilmesi ve tabloların oluşturulması amacıyla SPSS 15.00 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Deney ve kontrol gruplarının karşılaştırılmasında Student’s t testi ve her bir grup için önceki ve sonraki ölçümlerin karşılaştırılmasında da Wilcoxon testi kullanılmıştır. Bütün istatistiksel analizlerde önemlilik seviyesi olarak p≤0.01 ve p≤0.05 değerleri kabul edilmiştir.
