RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AGILITY AND REACTION TIME, SPEED AND BODY MASS INDEX IN TAEKWONDO ATHLETES

Year 2010, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 71 - 77, 01.03.2010

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine relationship between agility and reaction time, speed and body mass index of taekwondo athletes. Totally, thirty-one female (n=8, age 13.7±1.5 years) and male (n=23, age 14.7±3.9 years), taekwondo athletes volunteered to participate in this study. After 15 min warm-up subjects performed tests of reaction time (left and right hand reaction time), speed (30m sprint: 10m acceleration, flying 20 m sprint and 30m maximum speed) and agility (20m zigzag agility test), respectively. Body mass index was calculated by dividing the weight (kg) by the height squared (m2). The mean (±SD), minimum and maximum values of performance tests were determined. The relationships between the performances on the agility and 10 m acceleration, flying 20 m sprint, 30 m maximum speed and left hand and right hand reaction time tests were determined by Pearson correlations. As a result, new tests of agility that include specific exercises of taekwondo are encouraged in further researches. Moreover agility test should be included cognitive properties such as anticipation and pattern recognition.

TAEKWONDOCULARIN BECERİ İLE SÜRAT, REAKSİYON ZAMANI VE VÜCUT KİTLE İNDEKSİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ

Year 2010, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 71 - 77, 01.03.2010

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı taekwondocuların beceri ile reaksiyon zamanı, sürat ve vücut kitle indeksi özellikleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Bu araştırmaya toplam otuz bir bayan (n=8, yaş 13.7±1.5 yıl) ve erkek (n=23, yaş 14.7±3.9 yıl) taekwondocu gönüllü olarak katıldı. Denekler 15 dakikalık ısınmadan sonra sırasıyla reaksiyon zamanı (sol ve sağ el reaksiyon), sürat (30 m sprint: 10 m hızlanma, 20 m hızlanarak sprint ve 30 m. maksimum hız)ve beceri(20m zigzag beceri testi) testlerini uyguladılar. Uygulanan performans testlerinin ortalama (±SS), minimum ve maksimum değerleri belirlendi. Vücut kitle indeksi, ağırlığın (kg), boyun karesine (m2) bölünerek hesaplandı. Beceri ile 10 m hızlanma, 20 m hızlanarak sprint ve 30 m. maksimum hız, sol ve sağ el reaksiyon testleri arasındaki ilişki Pearson correlation testi ile belirlendi. Beceri ile 20 m hızlanarak sprint arasında ve beceri ile 30 m sprint arasında anlamlı pozitif ilişki olduğu tespit edildi (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak, taekwondo sporuna yönelik özel hareketler içeren yeni beceri testleri ileriki araştırmalarda değerlendirilmesi gerekir. Ayrıca, beceri testleri sezgi ve örnek tanıma gibi bilişsel özellikler de içermelidir.
