Abstract

There are many features that athletes must have in order to be successful in futsal. One of these features is agility based on rapid and sudden change of direction. This study was conducted to examine the agility of futsal players playing in different positions (goalkeeper, defense and attack) and to analyze their responses to different agility tests. The research data were obtained by subjecting indoor soccer players playing in the Universities Futsal League to agility tests and revealing their answers at the end. 30 futsal players playing in the Turkish Universities Futsal League, with an average age of 21.57±1.97 years, participated in the research voluntarily. Pro-Agility Test, 505 and Zig Zag agility tests were used to determine agility characteristics. Futsal players participating in the research, Pro-Agility agility test values 4.56±0.29 sec, 5 0 5 agility test values 2.33±0.18 sec, Zigzag agility test values with the ball 8.33±0.39 sec and without the ball Zigzag agility test values were found to be 6.44±0.31 sec. When futsal players’ answers to different agility tests are compared according to their positions; In all tests, it was determined that the players playing in the offensive zone had the best agility test values; Statistically significant differences were found in the values of Pro-Agility test, 505 agility test, zig-zag test with and without the ball (p<0.05). As a result; In futsal, where there are many rapid and sudden changes in direction, the agility of the players is considered very important for the players in all positions. It can be said that the agility feature of futsal players is in good condition regardless of position, regular measurement of agility features with and without the ball, including studies to improve the agility feature in the trainings, are some very important criteria for the athletes to reach the desired performance level.

Abstract

Futsalda başarının sağlanabilmesi için sporcuların sahip olması gereken bir¬çok özellik bulunmaktadır. Bu özelliklerden birisi de hızlı ve ani yön değiştirme temeline dayalı çeviklik özelliğidir. Bu çalışma, farklı mevkilerde (kaleci, defans ve hücum) oynayan futsal oyuncularında çevikliğin incelenmesi ve farklı çeviklik testlerine verdikleri cevapların analiz edilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma ve¬rileri, Üniversiteler Futsal Liginde oynayan salon futbolu oyuncularının çeviklik testlerine tabii tutulmaları ve verdikleri cevapların sonunda ortaya çıkarılması ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırmaya 21,57±1,97 yıl yaş ortalamasına sahip olan Türkiye Üniversiteler Futsal Liginde oynayan 30 futsal oyuncusu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Çeviklik özelliklerinin belirlenmesinde, Pro-Agility Test, 505 ve Zig Zag çeviklik testlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan futsal oyuncularının, Pro-Agi¬lity çeviklik testi değerleri 4,56±0,29 sn, 5 0 5 çeviklik testi değerleri 2,33±0,18 sn, Topla Zigzag çeviklik testi değerleri 8,33±0,39 sn ve topsuz Zigzag çeviklik testi değerleri 6,44±0,31 sn olarak bulunmuştur. Mevkilerine göre futsal oyuncu¬ların farklı çeviklik testlerine verdikleri cevaplar karşılaştırıldığında; yapılan tüm testlerde, hücum bölgesinde oynayan oyuncuların en iyi çeviklik testi değerlerine sahip olduğu belirlenirken; Pro-Agility test, 505 çeviklik testi, topla ve topsuz zig-zag testi değerlerinde istatiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak; hızlı ve ani yön değiştirmelerin çok sayıda olduğu futsalda, oyuncuların çeviklik özellikleri tüm mevkilerde yer alan oyuncular açısından ol¬dukça önemli görülmektedir. Futsal oyuncularında çeviklik özelliğinin mevki gö-zetmeden iyi durumda olması, topla ve topsuz çeviklik özelliklerinin düzenli ara¬lıklarla ölçülmesi, yapılan antrenmanlarda çeviklik özelliğini geliştirici çalışmalara mutlaka yer verilmesi, sporcuların istenilen performans seviyesine ulaşmasında oldukça önemli bazı kriterler olarak söylenebilir.
