The Effect on Static and Dynamic Balance in Female Football Players After 6-Week Kettlebell Training

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of 6-week kettlebell training on the static and dynamic balance characteristics of female football players. Actively playing in Turkey Women's Football 1st League (age: 21.01 ±00 years, height: 164.66 ± 66 cm, body weight: 57.93 ±33 kg, sports age: 11.86 ±66 years) were included in the study. 15 female football players participated voluntarily. Participants applied the 6-week kettlebell training program three days a week regularly. While the Y Balance balance test was applied for the dynamic balance measurement of the female football players participating in the research, the static balance test measurement was measured with the Flamingo balance test. For the tests, the test measurement was made by touching the balance bar and using a 0.01 precision stopwatch. For the analysis of the research data, the SPSS 22.0 package program was used, and the Wilcoxon test was applied for the measurement analysis. The significance value of the analysis results was accepted as (p<0.05). In the light of the data of the study, it was observed that there was a statistically significant difference according to the results of Y balance balance test and Flamingo balance test as a result of the pre-test and post-test of the 6-week kettlebell training program (p<0.05). According to the results of the research, it was concluded that the 6-week kettlebell training had an effect on the static and dynamic balance parameters of female football players.

Kadın Futbolcularda 6 Haftalık Kettlebell Antrenmanının Statik ve Dinamik Denge Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 6 haftalık kettlebell antrenmanlarının kadın futbolcuların statik ve dinamik denge özelliklerine etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Çalışmaya, Türkiye Kadınlar Futbol 1. Liginde aktif olarak oynayan (yaş: 21,01 ±00 yıl, boy: 164,66 ± 66 cm, vücut ağırlıkları: 57,93 ±33 kg, spor yaşları: 11,86 ±66 yıl) 15 kadın futbolcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılara, 6 haftalık kettlebell antrenman programını haftada üç gün düzenli olarak uygulanmıştır. Deneklerin dinamik denge ölçümü için Y Balance denge testi uygulanırken, statik denge test ölçümünü ise Flamingo denge testi ile ölçülmüştür. Testler için denge çubuğuna değme ve 0,01 hassasiyetli kronometre ile test ölçümü yapılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizleri için SPSS 22.0 paket programı kullanılarak, istatistiksel analizler için Wilcoxon testi uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarının anlamlılık değeri p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Yapılan çalışmanın verileri ışığında, 6 haftalık kettlebell antrenman programı ön ve son test sonucunda Y balance denge test ve Flamingo denge testleri sonucuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu görülmüştür (p<0,05). Araştırma sonucuna göre elde edilen bulgular ile kadın futbolcularda 6 haftalık kettlebell antrenmanın sonucunda statik ve dinamik denge üzerine de etkisinin olduğu sonucu ortaya konmuştur.
