Kadın basketbolcularda masaj tabancası ve foam roller uygulamalarının sıçrama performansına etkilerinin karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadın basketbolcularda masaj tabancası (MT) ve foam roller (FR) uygulamalarının dikey ve yatay sıçrama performansına etkilerini karşılaştırmaktı. Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 18 olan 15 kadın basketbolcu katıldı. Katılımcılara, ilk hafta demografik bilgi formu doldurtuldu ve 5 dakikalık ısınma sonrası dikey ve yatay sıçrama değerleri ölçüldü. İkinci hafta FR uygulaması yapıldı ve son test ölçümleri alındı. Üçüncü hafta ise MT uygulaması gerçekleştirildi ve son test ölçümleri tekrar edildi. Her uygulama arasında, uygulamanın etkilerinin kaybolmasını önlemek için 48 saatlik bir ara verildi. Ölçümler, katılımcıların düzenli antrenman programıyla uyumlu şekilde ve günün aynı saatinde gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Hem MT hem de FR uygulamaları, başlangıç ölçümleri ile karşılaştırıldığında dikey ve yatay sıçrama mesafelerinde anlamlı artış sağladı (FR: yatay için p=0,028, dikey için p=0,001; MT: yatay için p=0,004, dikey için p=0,002). MT uygulamasının, FR uygulamasına kıyasla sıçrama performansını iyileştirmede daha etkili olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: Masaj tabancası ve foam roller uygulamaları, kadın basketbolcularda sıçrama performansını artırmada etkili yöntemlerdir. Ancak MT uygulamasının daha üstün olduğu görülmektedir. MT uygulaması, antrenman ve rehabilitasyon süreçlerinde tercih edilebilir ancak etkinliğini doğrulamak için daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

Comparison of the effects of massage gun and foam roller applications on jump performance in female basketball players

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of massage gun (MG) and foam roller (FR) applications on vertical and horizontal jump performance in female basketball players. Methods: This study included 15 female basketball players with an average age of 18. Participants completed a demographic information form in the first week, followed by measurements of vertical and horizontal jump distances after a 5-minute warm- up. In the second week, FR application was performed and final test measurements were taken. In the third week, MG application was conducted and final test measurements were repeated. Each application was followed by a 48-hour rest period to minimize residual effects. Measurements were scheduled to align with participants' regular training routines and were taken at the same time of day. Results: Both MG and FR applications significantly increased vertical and horizontal jump distances compared to baseline measurements (FR: p=0.028 for horizontal, p=0.001 for vertical; MG: p=0.004 for horizontal, p=0.002 for vertical). The MG application appeared to be more effective in improving jump performance compared to the FR application. Conclusion: Massage gun and foam roller applications are effective methods for enhancing jump performance in female basketball players. However, the MG application appears to provide superior results. MG application may be preferred in training and rehabilitation processes, but further studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.
