Abstract

The
aim of this study was to investigate the association between agility and
jumping performance in team and court tennis. Fifty four university students in
the different sports branches (20 futsal, 12 volleyball, 12 handball, 10 tennis
courts) participated in the study. The athletes’ ages, heights and weights were
measured for descriptive statistics. Zig-Zag and T tests were used to determine
agility performance, while squat (SS) and counter movement (CMJ) and horizontal
jump (HJ) tests were carried out to determine jumping performance. In addition
to averages and standard deviations of the data, Pearson correlation analysis
was used to determine the relationship between agility and jumping performance.
At the end of the study, it was found that there was high negative correlation
between only horizontal jump and respectively, zig- zag and T test (r = -0.869,
-0.855 p <0.01) in court tennis players; there was high negative correlation
between both T test and respectively  
active, squat and vertical jump ( r = -0.695, -0.789 and -0.805 p
<0.01), and between zig-zag test and respectively active, squat and vertical
jump (r = -0.759, -0.879 and -0.808 p <0.01) in volleyball players, there
was high negative correlation between 
both T test and respectively active, squat and vertical jump (r= -0,615,
-0.623 and -0.760 p<0,01), and between 
zig-zag test and respectively active, squat and vertical jump (-0.551,
-0.443 and -0.613 p<0.01) in futsal players; no significant relationship was
found as a result of agility and jumping tests in handball players. It was
determined that the relationship between agility and jump performance varies
according to the sports branches. It is recommended that plyometric trainings
should be regulated according to sports branches.

KORT TENİSİ VE TAKIM SPORLARINDA SIÇRAMA İLE ÇEVİKLİK İLİŞKİSİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, takım sporları ve kort tenisinde sıçrama ve çeviklik ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya farklı branşlarda 54
üniversite öğrencisi (20 salon futbolu, 12 voleybol, 12 hentbol, 10 kort tenisi) katılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı istatistik olarak sporcuların
yaş, boy ve kilo değerleri alınmıştır. Çevikliğin belirlenmesi amacıyla T ve zig-zag testi, sıçrama performansının belirlenmesi amacıyla
çift bacak aktif, squat ve yatay sıçrama testleri uygulanmıştır. Verilerin ortalama ve standart sapmalarının yanında çeviklik ve
sıçrama performansı arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi için Pearson korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Çalışma sonunda kort
tenisçilerinde sırasıyla zig-zag ve T testi ile sadece yatay sıçrama arasında negatif yönde yüksek düzeyde (r = -0,869, -0,855 p<0,01),
voleybolcularda gerek T testi ile sırasıyla aktif, squat, ve yatay sıçrama arasında (r = -0,695, -0,789 ve -0,805 p<0,01) gerekse de zigzag
testi ile sırasıyla aktif, squat, ve yatay sıçrama arasında (r= -0,759, -0,879 ve -0,808 p<0,01) negatif yönde yüksek düzeyde,
salon futbolu oyuncularında gerek T testi ile sırasıyla aktif, squat ve yatay sıçramalar arasında negatif yönde orta ve yüksek düzeyde
(r= -0,615, -0,623 ve -0,760 p<0,01) zig-zag testi yine sırasıyla aktif, squat ve yatay sıçramalar arasında negatif yönde ve orta
düzeyde (r= -0,551, -0,443 ve -0,613 p<0,01) ilişki olduğu tespit edilmişken, hentbolcularda çeviklik ve sıçrama testleri sonucunda
herhangi bir anlamlı ilişki tespit edilememiştir. Çeviklik ve sıçrama performansı arasındaki ilişkinin branşlara göre farklılık gösterdiği
belirlenmiştir. Çevikliği geliştirmek için yapılan pliometrik çalışmaların spor branşına uygun olarak düzenlenmesi önerilmektedir
