Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the 3-weeks effects of the isolated core training program and plyometric combined core training program on speed, balance, agility and muscle strength of the elite soccer players.
Material and methods: Elite soccer players were divided into two groups with an average age of 15.33 ± 0.48 and 16.66 ± 0.48. One group performed isolated core training (G1), while the other performed additional plyometric exercises (G2). Training programs were implemented 2 days a week for 3 weeks. Illinois agility test, 30 meters sprint test, tandem gait test, T test and muscle strength values of deltoideus, triceps, biceps, iliopsoas, gluteus maximus, hamstring, quadriceps femoris muscles were compared at baseline and after 3 weeks of training.
Results: Both groups had a statistically significant improvement in Illinois agility test, 30-meters sprint test, tandem gait test, T test and muscle strength values (p=0.001) after training program according to the baseline, except for the T test values of the players in G2 (p=0.130). However, the changes were not statistically different between the groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The 3-weeks core exercise program improved performance based agility, speed, balance and muscle strength, while the 3-week plyometric exercises did not create additional significant changes in these parameters. Detailed analyzes such as electromyographic activity of the muscles are needed.

ERKEK ELİT FUTBOL OYUNCULARINDA KOR VE PLİYOMETRİK EGZERSİZ PROGRAMININ PERFORMANS VE KUVVETE ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı üç haftalık izole kor antrenman programı ve pliometrik egzersizlerle kombine edilen kor antrenman programının elit futbol oyuncularının koşu hızına, denge-koordinasyonuna, çeviklik düzeylerine ve kas kuvvetine etkilerini karşılaştırmaktı.
Yöntem: Yaş ortalaması 15.33±0.48 ve 16.66±0.48 olan 15’er kişilik 2 gruba ayrılan elit futbolcular çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bir grup sadece kor antrenmanı yaparken (G1) diğer grup ek olarak pliometrik egzersizler yaptı (G2). Antrenmanlar 3 hafta, haftada 2 gün gerçekleştirildi. Başlangıç ve 3 haftalık antrenman sonrası Illinois çeviklik testi, 30 metre sprint test, tandem yürüyüş testi, T testi ve deltoideus, triceps, biceps, iliopsoas, gluteus maximus, hamstring, quadriceps femoris kas kuvvet değerleri karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: G2 oyuncularının T testi değerleri hariç (p=0.130) her iki grupta başlangıç ve antrenman sonrası llinois çeviklik testi, 30 metre sprint test, tandem yürüyüş testi, T testi ve kas kuvveti değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değişme vardı (p=0.001). Ancak bu değişimler gruplar arası farklı değildi (p>0.05).
Sonuç: Üç hafta uygulanan kor egzersiz programı çeviklik, hız, denge ve kas kuvvetinde gelişme sağlarken ek olarak uygulanan pliyometrik egzersiz programı bu parametrelerde ek değişimler yaratmamıştır. Daha uzun süreli eğitim programları ve detaylı analizler uygulanan çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
