THE ACUTE EFFECT OF COMBINED PRECONDITIONING STRATEGIES ON REPEATED SPRINT PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The use of preconditioning strategies (Pre-CC) alone has a positive effect on performance. However, it is thought that there will be more impact on the performance of combined preconditioning strategies and this is one of the first studies to prove this. This research was conducted to examine the acute impact of the combined preconditioning strategies on repeated sprint performance. The following pre-conditioning strategies (PConSt) were combined: morning resistance exercise (MRE), active warm-up (AwU), hormonal preconditioning (HPC), post-activation potential (PAP), and ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Sixteen males (age: 21,23 ± 1,69 years, height: 173,91 ± 9,05 cm, body weight: 69,95 ± 13,05 kg)who studied at the Department of Sport Sciences of a university in Ankara  were participated in this study voluntarily. Participants entered the PConSt and Sham applications on different days after the pre-test. Before the test, MRE, IPC, HPC and PAP were applied to the PConSt group and then 12x20m repeated sprint test (TST) was performed for determination of repeated sprint performances. Applications that will not affect Sham have been made. According to the results of statistical analysis, a statistically significant difference was found between the pre-test and precondition for best sprint time values ​​at 10-20m and 0-20m distances (p <0.05). Similarly, there was a statistically significant difference between 10-20m and 0-20m distances and 0-20m distances between the pre-test and sham in total sprint times. This study showed that the combined preconditioning strategies may have an impact on repeated sprint performance.

BİRLEŞTİRİLMİŞ ÖNKOŞULLAMA STRATEJİSİ UYGULAMALARININ TEKRARLI SPRİNT PERFORMANSINA AKUT ETKİSİ

Abstract

Önkoşullama stratejilerinin (ÖnKSt) tek başına kullanılması performans üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahiptir. Bununla birlikte, birleşik önkoşullama stratejilerinin performansı üzerinde daha fazla etkisinin olacağı düşünülmektedir ve bunu ispatlayan ilk araştırmalardan biride bu çalışmadır.  Bu araştırma birleştirilmiş önkoşullama stratejilerinin tekrarlı sprint performansı üzerine akut etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır Aşağıdaki ön koşullanma stratejileri birleştirilmiştir: sabah direnç egzersizi (SDE), aktif ısınma (AkI), hormonal ön koşullama (HÖ), aktivasyon sonrası potansiyeli (ASP) ve iskemik ön koşullama (İsÖ). Bu çalışmaya Ankara’daki bir üniversitenin Spor Bilimleri Bölümünde okuyan 16 erkek  (yaş: 21,23 ± 1,69yıl, boy: 173,91 ± 9,05 cm, vücut ağırlığı: 69,95±13,05 kg) öğrenci katılmıştır Tüm katılımcılar ön testi yapmalarının ardından farklı günlerde ÖnKSt ve Sham uygulamalarına girmişlerdir. ÖnKSt grubu için testten önce sırayla SDE, İsÖ, HÖ ve ASP uygulanmış ardından Tekrarlı sprint performanslarının belirlenmesi için 12x20m tekrarlı sprint testine (TST) girmeleri istenmiştir. Sham için etki yaratmayacak uygulamalar yapılmıştır. Yapılan istatistiki analiz sonuçlarına göre 10-20m ve 0-20m mesafelerinde En iyi sprint zamanı değerlerinde Ön_test ve ÖnKSt arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Benzer şekilde Toplam sprint zamanlarında Ön_test ve Sham arasında 10-20m ve 0-20m mesafelerinde ve Performans Düşüş Yüzdesi açısından 0-20m mesafelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Bu çalışma, sonuç olarak birleştirilmiş önkoşullama stratejilerinin tekrarlı sprint performansı üzerinde etkili olabileceğini göstermektedir.
