Abstract

This study purposed to examine the effect of anaerobic distance capacity on agility, speed and acceleration in young football players. Twenty-five young football players participated in the present study voluntarily (n= 25, age= 16.72±1.10 years, height= 174.04±8.34 cm, weight= 65.86±11.26 kg). Agility value of young football players was obtained by the Illinois agility test. The speed and acceleration values of players were measured by 30-meter sprint test. 800 and 2400-meter run tests were performed to determine critical velocity and anaerobic distance capacity values. Players performed all of tests with maximum effort on a synthetic grass football pitch. The critical velocity and anaerobic distance capacity values were determined by total distance model (linear regression analysis between time and distance of 800 and 2400-meter runs). The slope and y-intercept of the regression line was determined as critical velocity and anaerobic distance capacity values, respectively (Total Distance Model: Run Distance = Anaerobic Distance Capacity + Critical Velocity x Run Duration). The effect of critical velocity and anaerobic distance capacity values on agility, speed and acceleration was examined by multiple linear regression analysis. According to linear regression models, it was found that anaerobic distance capacity and critical velocity values were not significant predictors of agility, speed and acceleration (p>0.05). Consequently, it can be said that anaerobic distance capacity value does not affect high-intensity anaerobic activities such as agility, speed, and acceleration in young football players.

Anaerobik Mesafe Kapasitesi Futbolda Hız, İvmelenme ve Çeviklik Üzerinde Etkili midir?

Abstract

Bu çalışma, genç futbol oyuncularında anaerobik mesafe kapasitesinin çeviklik, hız ve ivme üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu çalışmaya 25 genç futbol oyuncusu (n= 25, yaş= 16,72±1,10 yıl, boy uzunluğu= 174,04±8,34 cm, vücut ağırlığı= 65,86±11,26 kg) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Genç futbolcul oyuncularının çeviklik değerleri Illinois çeviklik testi ile elde edildi. Oyuncuların sürat ve ivme değerleri 30 metre sprint testiyle ölçüldü. Kritik hız ve anaerobik mesafe kapasitesi değerlerini belirlemek için 800 ve 2400 metre koşu testleri uygulandı. Oyuncular tüm testleri sentetik çim futbol sahasında maksimum eforla uyguladılar. Kritik hız ve anaerobik mesafe kapasitesi değerleri toplam mesafe modeli (800 ve 2400 metre koşularının süre ve mesafeleri arasında uygulanan doğrusal regresyon analizi) ile belirlendi. Regresyon doğrusunun eğimi ve y ekseninde kestiği nokta sırasıyla kritik hız ve anaerobik mesafe kapasitesi olarak belirlendi (Toplam Mesafe Modeli: Koşu Mesafesi = Anaerobik Mesafe Kapasitesi + Kritik Hız x Koşu Süresi). Kritik hız ve anaerobik mesafe kapasitesi değerlerinin çeviklik, sürat ve ivme üzerindeki etkisi çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Doğrusal regresyon modellerine göre anaerobik mesafe kapasitesi ve kritik hız değerlerinin çeviklik, sürat ve ivme değerlerinin anlamlı yordayıcısı olmadığı belirlendi (p>0,05). Sonuç olarak, genç futbol oyuncularında anaerobik mesafe kapasitesi değerinin çeviklik, sürat ve ivme gibi yüksek yoğunluklu anaerobik aktiviteler üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olmadığı söylenebilir.
