Abstract

A high level of jumping ability is inherent in elite basketball, but the correlation of jumping ability in various tasks with sprint and agility performances, has not been investigated thoroughly. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation of jumping performances in various tasks with sprint and agility in basketball players of different ages. Thirty-six (senior: n=12, age 25.75±5.12 years; under 19: n=12, age 17.25±0.45 years; under 17: n=12, age 15.46±0.32 years) male basketball players volunteered to participate in the study. The jumping performance of the players was determined using squat jump, counter-movement jump, and drop jump tests using a force platform. For each test protocol, commonly used power, force, velocity, and acceleration measures were obtained from the official device software. Sprint ability was evaluated by a 20-m sprint test, while agility was measured by the T-Drill test. Pearson’s correlation and one-way analysis of variance were used for statistical processing. Jumping performance in each task correlated with sprint and agility (p<.05). Jump height (calculated from take-off velocity) and relative maximal power parameters were determined as the strong predictors of sprint and agility for each jump task (r=.642–.750). Significant differences were observed in all jump tasks, sprint and agility performances among the age groups (p<.05). The study findings indicate a negative correlation between sprint, agility, and different types of jumping performances in basketball players. Considering that explosive movements are important in basketball, especially the correlation of drop jump performance with sprint and agility seems remarkable.

Basketbolcularda Farklı Tekniklerdeki Sıçrama Performansı ile Sprint ve Çeviklik Arasındaki İlişki

Abstract

Yüksek seviyede sıçrama yeteneği elit düzeydeki basketbolun doğasında vardır; ancak farklı tekniklerde gerçekleştirilen sıçrama performansları ile sprint ve çeviklik ilişkisi tam olarak araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın ana amacı; farklı yaşlardaki basketbolcularda dikey sıçrama performansları ile sprint ve çeviklik arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışmaya toplam 36 erkek basketbolcu (Yetişkin: n=12, yaş 25,75±5,12 yıl; 19 yaş altı: n=12, yaş 17,25±0,45 yıl; 17 yaş altı: n=12, yaş 15,46±0,32 yıl) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Sporcuların sıçrama performansları; skuat, counter-movement ve drop sıçrama testleri kullanılarak bir kuvvet platformu üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Her test protokolü için cihazın resmi yazılımından kuvvet, güç, hız ve ivmelenme temelli veriler elde edilmiştir. Sıçrama yeteneği 20-m sprint testi; çeviklik ise T-Drill testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler için Pearson korelasyon ve tek yönlü varyans analizleri kullanılmıştır Sıçrama ve çevikliğin tüm sıçrama tekniklerinde elde edilen perofrmans çıktıları ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<,05). Sıçrama yüksekliği (sıçrama hızından hesaplanan) ve relatif maksimum güç parametreleri, sprint ve çevikliğin güçlü prediktörleri olarak belirlenmiştir (r=,642–,750). Sıçrama performanslarına ait parametreler ile birlikte, spirnt ve çeviklik skorlarında yaş grupları arasında istatistiki fark olduğu görülmüştür (p<,05). Çalışma sonuçları, basketbolcularda farklı türlerde gerçekleştirilen sıçrama çıktıları ile sprint ve çevikli arasında negatif yönde korelasyon olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Patlayıcı formdaki hareketlerin basketboldaki önemi düşünüldüğünde, özellikle drop sıçrama ile sprint ve çeviklik ilişkisi önemli bir bulgu olarak görünmektedir.
