This study aims to examine the speed, jumping, balance, and postural sway values of athletes from different sports.A total of 30 male athletes, including 12 football players,10 futsal players and 8 volleyball players, who were actively engaged in sports,participated in the study. The gender, age, height, body weight(kg),dynamic balance (Y balance),squat jump (Opto Jump),postural sway (Kistler© brand Body Sway Module), and speed(30m) parameters of the athletes included in the study were collected.Differences among the disciplines was examined using One-Way Analysis of Variance(ANOVA).There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in squat jump and dynamic balance (post-medial-left foot) values between football,futsal and volleyball players,while no difference was found in anthropometric measurements such as body weight (kg),height (cm),body fat percentage (%BF),body mass index (BMI),and leg length, as well as dynamic balance tests (right and left foot / anterior-posterior-lateral).There was also no difference found in postural sway (double foot/eyes open and closed/anterior-posterior-medial-lateral-total sway) and speed test performance parameters(p>0.05).The differences observed between the branches can be attributed to the different physical characteristics and training programs required by the related sports branches.
The research group was informed about the research, and to athletes who participated in the study signed a consent form containing information about the purpose and methods of the study. Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University Health Sciences Ethics Committee on 03.01.2023 with decision number 23-1304.
