Investigation Of The Effect Of Training Related With Early-Season Performance On Elite Mountain Bikers’ Performance
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of training programs prepared according to start-of-season performance analyses on the performances of elite mountain bikers.
Methods: A total of 10 male elite mountain bikers participated in the study. Eight of the participants were studying at Süleyman Demirel University, Health Sciences Faculty, Sports Sciences Department (n:8); and 2 of them participated individually in completions from the city of Isparta (N:2). The mean age of the participants was 20.8±3.2 years, average height was 174.0±3.2cm, average body weight values were 67.5±4.6 kg in the pre-tests, and 66.4±4.1 kg in the post-tests. Circumference measurements, subcutaneous fat measurements, heart beat rates, lactic acid measurements, one-maximum repetition measurements were made; and Wingate Anaerobic Force Test was applied to the participants. The SPSS Program was used to analyze the data statistically. The Paired Sample t-Test was used as the statistical process for dependent samplings.
Results: Before and after the training, there were significant differences between the values of hip, quadriceps, quadriceps contraction, calf, calf contraction, and values of resting heart rate (p < .05), however, no differences were detected in the other measurements and tests (p > .05),
Conclusion: As a result, according to our findings, it was determined that the trainings we applied to elite mountain bikers had positive effects in many aspects; however, it did not have any significant interactions on some performance elements.Keywords
