Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the horizontal push-off against the pool wall and the land-based vertical jump performance during the tumble turn in freestyle swimming technique. Twenty-one young male swimmers (age:15.7±1.53 years; height:176.3±7.07 cm; body weight:63.7±7.61 kg) with at least four years of swimming training experience were participated in the study. In this study, the swimmers were tested on land and in the water. To examine the land based vertical jump performance, the countermovement jump, and the drop-jump (25 cm height) tests were performed. In the pool tests, the swimming times at 20 m, 25 m and, 5 m after the tumble turn were recorded. The relationship between land based and in water performance were analyzed using Pearson Correlation Test. A significant relationship was found between the tuck index and the drop jump height (p<0.05). A strong positive correlation was found between the tuck index angle, the 25 m swimming time, and the average speed for the last 5 m before the turn (p<0,05). As a result, it was investigated that increasing the vertical jump training and the land-based training can also increase the swimming performance. It is recommended that swimming coaches include lower extremity vertical strength training exercises on land in training programs.

Serbest Stil Yüzmede Takla Dönüşleri Sırasındaki Yatay İtiş ve Karada Yapılan Dikey Sıçrama Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, serbest stil yüzme tekniğinde takla dönüşü sırasında havuz duvarına karşı yapılan yatay itiş ile karada yapılan dikey sıçrama performansı arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya en az dört yıllık yüzme antrenman deneyimi olan 21 genç erkek yüzücü (yaş:15.7±1.53 yıl; boy:176.3±7.07 cm; vücut ağırlığı:63.7±7.61 kg) dahil edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada yüzücüler karada ve suda test edilmiştir. Karada dikey sıçrama performansını incelemek için countermovement-jump ve drop-jump (25 cm yükseklik) testleri yapılmıştır. Havuz testlerinde, 20 m, 25 m ve takla dönüşünden sonraki 5 m yüzme süreleri kaydedilmiştir. Karadaki ve sudaki performans arasındaki ilişki Pearson Korelasyon Testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Tuck indeksi ile drop jump yüksekliği arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Tuck indeks açısı, 25 m yüzme süresi ve dönüşten önceki son 5 m'deki ortalama hız arasında güçlü bir pozitif korelasyon bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak, dikey sıçrama antrenmanının ve kara antrenmanının artırılmasının yüzme performansını da artırabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Yüzme antrenörlerinin antrenman programlarına karada alt ekstremite dikey kuvvet antrenmanı egzersizlerini dahil etmeleri önerilmektedir.
