Investigation of the Effects of Strength and Combined Jumping Rope Training on Physical Performance Values of Female Handball Athletes

Abstract

Aim: In the literature, there is no additional exercise performed before jumping rope training. At this point, the aim of this research was to investigate whether the strength exercises to be applied before the rope skipping training had an effect on the performance values of the athletes. 

Methods: A total of 24 athletes aged between 16-21 participated in the study (Combined Strength and Rope Training group=13 participants, rope skipping group=11 participants). In the research, 6 weeks before and after the athletes' handball change-of-direction running (COD), Illinois and 505 COD, 30-15 intermittent Fitness Test (30-15 IFT), vertical jump (Vj) and 20 m sprint tests were performed.

Results: The obtained data were performed using Paired Sample T-test and Wilcoxon signed ranks as comparison statistics according to the levels of conformity to normal distribution, and the difference statistics between the first and last test between groups were performed using the Independent Samples Test and Mann Whitney U tests according to the normal distribution levels. In the findings of the study, only the strength combined jumping rope and rope jumping group showed a difference in 20 m speed, handball COD and vertical jump performances (p<0.05). In addition, there was no difference between the groups after the training programs.

Conclusion: while having the athletes perform strength exercises before jumping rope training may be effective in terms of performance gain, only jumping rope training may not improve the performance of female athletes.

Kadın Hentbol Sporcularında Kuvvet ile Kombine İp Atlama Antrenmanlarının Fiziksel Performans Değerlerine Etkilerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: İp atlama egzersizleri çoğu spor dalında kullanılan özellikle çabuk kuvveti geliştirmeye yönelik etkili bir egzersiz yöntemidir. Literatürde ip atlama egzersizleri ile kombine edilen kuvvet antrenmanın performans üzerine olan etkisini ortaya koyan araştırma eksikliği dikkati çekmektedir. Bu araştırmada ip atlama antrenmanları öncesinde uygulanacak olan kuvvet egzersizlerinin sporcuların performansları üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır.

 Materyal ve Metot: Araştırmaya yaşları 16-21 arasında olan toplam 24 sporcu dâhil edildi (kuvvet ile kombine ip atlama grubu= 13 katılımcı, ip atlama grubu= 11 katılımcı). Araştırmada antrenman programı 6 hafta süresince haftada 3 gün şeklinde uygulandı. Antrenman programı önce ve sonrasında sporcuların hentbol yön değiştirmeli koşu (YDK), Illinois ve 505 YDK, 30-15 Aralıklı Fitness Testi (30-15 AFT), dikey sıçrama (Ds) ve 20 m sürat testleri gerçekleştirildi.

 Bulgular: Elde edilen veriler normal dağılıma uygunluk düzeylerine göre karşılaştırma istatistikleri olarak Bağımlı Örneklem T-testi ve Wilcoxon sıralı işaretler, gruplar arasında ilk ve son test arasındaki fark istatistikleri ise normal dağılım düzeylerine göre Bağımsız Örneklem T-test ve Mann Whitney U testleri kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın bulgularında sadece kuvvet ile kombine ip atlayan grubun 20 m sürat, hentbol YDK ve dikey sıçrama performanslarında farklılık elde edilmiştir (p<0.05). Ayrıca gruplar arasında antrenman programları sonrasında bir farklılık elde edilmemiştir. 

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak sporculara ip atlama antrenmanı öncesi kuvvet egzersizleri uygulatmak performans kazanımı açısından etkili olabilecekken, sadece ip atlama antrenmanları kadın sporcuların performanslarını geliştirmeyebilir.
