Abstract

Objectives: The target of this study is the determination of the effect of 8 week strength exercise upon the technical and the motoric capacities of 11-12 years of age female players and elucidates the correlation between the technical and the motoric features if these are any.

Design: This study was conducted by 36 female volleyball players who played volleyball actively in school and club competitions in 2011-2012 seasons on voluntary basis. The participants were separated as 18 member experimental group with an average age of 11.6±0.5 years, an average height of 163.5±9.6 cm, an average body length of 53.5±8.8 kg and an average experience of 18.1±5.1 months and a 18 member control with an average age of 11.6±0.5 years, an average length of 163.8±6.8 cm, an average body weight of 54.0±5.07 kg and an average experience of 18.0±10.0 months.

Methods: The motoric features were measured by the shuttle moves, push-ups, vertical and long jumps from the static situation and the technical capacities were found by the systems measuring the accuracy of the finger passes, digging passes and serves. After the determination of the initial values, the experimental group was subjected to a 1 hour fifteen minutes a day, three days a week  8 week strength exercise.

Results: There was a statistically significant increase between all the motoric and technical capacities of the experimental group after eight week power program (p<0.05). However there was not a statistically significant change in the control group (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant correlation between the pre and post test evaluation of the motoric and the technical features of the experimental group (p<0.05). However there was no statistically significant difference between the values of the control group (p>0.05).

Conclusion: The experimental group in this study which was subjected to both technical and strength program showed statistically significant improvements in both their technical and motoric capacities.
