Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of hip joint mobilization on vertical jump performance in professional female volleyball players. Thirteen professional female volleyball players participated in the study, which employed a single-group pre-test/post-test experimental design. Participants underwent a total of 3 minutes of hip joint mobilization, consisting of anterior-posterior glide, passive circumduction, and traction techniques, applied sequentially. Vertical jump performance was assessed before and after the mobilization interventions. Statistical analysis revealed that the data were not normally distributed, and differences in performance before and after mobilization were evaluated using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The findings showed a significant increase in vertical jump height after the mobilization intervention (p = 0,021). The mean jump height was 33,8 ± 6,5 cm in the pre-test, increasing to 36,5 ± 7,3 cm in the post-test. These results indicate that hip joint mobilization can acutely enhance vertical jump performance. In this context, mobilization techniques can be considered a practical and low-cost intervention method to include in pre-competition preparation routines for sports where jump performance is critical, such as volleyball. Furthermore, these findings could contribute to the development of evidence-based strategies aimed at improving athlete performance.

Profesyonel Kadın Voleybolcularda Kalça Eklemi Mobilizasyonunun Dikey Sıçrama Mesafesine Akut Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, profesyonel kadın voleybolcularda kalça eklemi mobilizasyonunun dikey sıçrama performansı üzerindeki akut etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmaya 13 profesyonel kadın voleybolcu katılmış ve çalışmada tek grup ön test-son test deneysel model kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılara sırasıyla anterior-posterior glide, pasif sirkumdüksiyon ve traksiyon tekniklerinden oluşan toplam 3 dakikalık bir kalça eklemi mobilizasyonu uygulanmıştır. Mobilizasyon uygulamalarının öncesi ve sonrası dikey sıçrama performansı değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizlerde verilerin normal dağılmadığı tespit edilmiş ve mobilizasyon uygulamalarının öncesi ve sonrası performans farkları Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular, mobilizasyon uygulaması sonrası dikey sıçrama mesafesinde anlamlı bir artış olduğunu göstermiştir (p = 0,021). Ön testte ortalama sıçrama mesafesi 33,8 ± 6,5 cm iken, son testte bu değer 36,5 ± 7,3 cm’ye yükselmiştir. Sonuçlar, kalça eklemi mobilizasyonunun akut olarak dikey sıçrama performansını artırabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, mobilizasyon teknikleri, voleybol gibi sıçrama performansının kritik olduğu sporlarda müsabaka öncesi hazırlık rutinlerine dahil edilebilecek pratik ve düşük maliyetli bir müdahale yöntemi olarak değerlendirilebilir. Ayrıca, bu bulgular, sporcu performansını artırmaya yönelik bilimsel dayanaklı stratejilerin geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayabilir.
