Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of foam roller (FR), dynamic stretching (DG) and passive recovery (PT) on heart rate variability (KAHD) and balance ability after submaximal exercise on male basketball athletes with and without hearing impairment. A total of 26 athletes, 14 hearing impaired experimental group basketball (DGB) and 12 hearing control group basketball (KGB), aged 18-30 years, participated in the study voluntarily. The participants were randomly divided into 3 groups, and 3 different recovery methods were applied after performing submaximal running (75-80%) exercises on a treadmill in a cross-over design. In the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) comparison of DGB and KGB athletes, a significant difference in favor of KGB athletes was found during exercise across all protocols, during recovery in PT, and at the 10th minute post-recovery in PT and DG (p<0.05). In the high frequences (HF), a significant difference was found only during FR recovery in favor of KGB athletes (p<0.05). In the balance parameter, a significant difference was found in favor of KGB athletes in all recovery methods before exercise, after exercise and after recovery (p<0.05). As a result, the balance and KAHD in KGB athletes remained at a higher level compared to DGB athletes. However, the FR recovery method performed after exercise significantly increased the KAHD compared to PT in both DGB and KGB athletes. According to our findings, performing FR recovery exercises in the post-exercise or post-competition period may positively affect the KAHD parameters of both DGB and KGB athletes.

Farklı Toparlanma Protokollerinin İşitme Engeli Olan ve Olmayan Erkek Basketbolcularda Kalp Atım Hızı Değişkenliği ve Denge Becerisine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışma işitme engeli olan ve olmayan erkek basketbolcularda submaksimal egzersiz sonrası foam roller (FR), dinamik germe (DG) ve pasif toparlanmanın (PT) kalp atım hızı değişkenliği (KAHD) ve denge becerisi üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 18-30 yaş arası 14 işitme engelli deney grubu basketbol (DGB) ve 12 işiten kontrol grubu basketbol (KGB) olmak üzere toplam 26 sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılar rastgele 3 gruba ayrılmış, çapraz desenli tasarımda (cross-over) koşu bandı üzerinde submaksimal koşu (%75-80) egzersizleri yaptıktan sonra 3 farklı toparlanma yöntemi uygulamıştır. DGB ve KGB sporcuların ardışık normal R-R aralıkları arasındaki farkların karelerinin ortalamasının karekökü (RMSSD) karşılaştırmasında egzersiz esnasında tüm protokollerde, toparlanma esnasında PT’de ve toparlanma sonrası 10dk’da PT ve DG’de KGB sporcuları lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Yüksek frekansta (HF) sadece FR toparlanma esnasında KGB sporcuları lehine anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Denge parametresinde egzersiz öncesi, egzersiz sonrası ve toparlanma sonrasında, tüm toparlanma yöntemlerinde KGB sporcuları lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak KGB sporcuların denge ve KAHD parametreleri DGB sporcularına göre daha yüksek düzeyde kalmıştır. Bununla birlikte hem DGB hem de KGB sporcularında egzersiz sonrası uygulanan FR ve DG toparlanma yöntemi, PT'ye kıyasla KAHD'yi önemli ölçüde artırmıştır. Bulgularımıza göre egzersiz sonrası veya müsabaka sonrası dönemde FR veya DG toparlanma egzersizlerinin yapılması hem DGB hem de KGB sporcuların KAHD'sini olumlu yönde etkileyebilir.
