SPORCU PERFORMANSINI ARTTIRMAYA YÖNELİK OLARAK YÜZÜCÜ GİYSİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, yüzücülerin, antrenman veya müsabakalarda kullandıkları yüzme giysilerine ilişkin yaşadıkları sorunları ve performanslarını arttırmaya yönelik olarak yüzme kıyafetlerinden beklentilerini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmada betimsel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak giysi konfor parametreleri ve yüzme kıyafetlerinin sahip olması gereken fonksiyonel tasarım özellikleri doğrultusunda anket geliştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Türkiye’de Çorum ilinde yüzme sporuyla ilgilenen kadın ve erkek yüzücüler oluşturmaktadır. Örneklemi ise, Çorum Gençlik Hizmetleri ve Spor İl Müdürlüğü bünyesinde hizmet veren Olimpik Kapalı Yüzme Havuzu üyelerinden araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 50 yüzücüdür. Bulgular, Sosyal Bilimlerde İstatistik Paket Programı (SPSS)’nda analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda; giysilerde yaşanan sorunların; çabuk deforme olması, hareketlerin kısıtlanması, kumaş dokusu ve dikiş özelliklerinin cildi rahatsız etmesi, giysilerden beklentilerin ise; dayanıklılık, hareket kolaylığı, vücuda uyum sağlama ve bakımının kolay olması olarak belirlenmiştir.Araştırma sonuçlarının, koşu sporunda sportif performansın artırılmasına ve sporcu sağlığının korunmasına yönelik olarak hem akademik hem de sektör bazında giysi konforu konusunda yapılacak araştırma ve geliştirme faaliyetlerine yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir
