The Effects of Plyometric Exercise on Some Motor Abilities in Sedentaries

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of plyometric exercise on some motor characteristics in sedentary men. Thirty-one sedentary men (18 years, 70,1±3,5 kg, 171±5,2 cm) performed plyometric training three days per week for 8 weeks. Each of the participants was randomly divided into pliometric group (PG) and control group (CG). The speed, static strength, flexibility, static balance, anaerobic power characteristics and body fat ratios of the participants before (Pretest) and after (Posttest) training protocol were determined. This study showed that 8-week plyometric exercises enhanced motor abilities such as speed, strength, flexibility, balance and anaerobic power in sedentary. In the plyometric group, a significant difference was found in jump, speed and power pre-post test comparisons (p <, 05), no significant difference was found in the flexibility pre-post test comparison (p>, 05). In the comparison between the groups, a significant increase was found in the speed performance of the PG compared to the CG. As a result, plyometric exercises are thought to be effective in improving motor skills.

Pliometrik Egzersizin Sedanterlerde Bazı Motorik Özelliklere Etkileri

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı sedanter erkeklerde plyometrik egzersizin bazı motor özellikler üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Otuz bir sedanter erkek (18 yaş, 70,1 ± 3,5 kg, 171 ± 5,2 cm) 8 hafta boyunca haftada üç gün plyometrik eğitim yapmıştır. Katılımcıların her biri rastgele pliometrik grup (PG) ve kontrol grubu (CG) olarak ayrıldı. Katılımcıların eğitim protokolü öncesi (Öntest) ve sonrası (Sontest) eğitim protokolü hız, statik güç, esneklik, statik denge, anaerobik güç özellikleri ve vücut yağ oranları belirlendi. Bu çalışma, 8 haftalık plyometrik egzersizlerin sedanterde hız, güç, esneklik, denge ve anaerobik güç gibi motor becerileri geliştirdiğini göstermiştir. Plyometrik grupta sıçrama, hız ve güç ön-son test karşılaştırmalarında anlamlı fark bulundu (p <, 05), esneklik ön-son test karşılaştırmasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadı (p>, 05). Gruplar arası karşılaştırmada, PG'nin hız performansında KG'ye göre önemli bir artış olduğu görüldü. Sonuç olarak, plyometrik egzersizlerin motor becerileri geliştirmede etkili olduğu düşünülmektedir.
