Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı; kadın yüzücülerde proprioseptif+core egzersizlerinin 25 metre serbest teknik yüzme performansı ile dikey sıçrama performansı üzerine etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmaya 20-26 yaş arası en az üç yıllık yüzme geçmişine sahip 16 kadın katılmıştır. Katılımcılar Proprioseptif+Core Egzersiz Grup (PCEG) (n=8) ve Kontrol Grubu (KG) (n=8) olmak üzere ikiye ayrılmıştır. Deney grubu 6 hafta boyunca haftada iki kez yüzme antrenmanlarına ek olarak proprioseptif+core egzersizler uygularlarken kontrol grubu haftada 2 kez rutin yüzme antrenmanlarına devam etmiştir. Ön-test ve son-test sonuçları incelendiğinde proprioseptif+core uygulayan deney grubunun 25 metre serbest teknik yüzme performansı ön-testte 23,33±2,51, son-testte 21,66±2,59 olarak ölçülmüştür. Proprioseptif+core uygulayan deney grubunun dikey sıçrama performansı ön-testte 18,73±6,43, son-testte 23,48±7,30 olarak bulunmuştur. Ön-test ve son-test karşılaştırıldığında deney grubunun 25 metre serbest teknik yüzme performansında (p=0,004) ve dikey sıçrama performansında (p=0,001) anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Kontrol grubunda ise 25 metre serbest teknik yüzme performansı ön-testte 24,58±1,56, son-testte 24,25±1,34 olarak ölçülmüştür. Kontrol grubunun dikey sıçrama performansı ön-testte 13,76±1,66, son-testte 16,07±1,74 olarak ölçülmüştür. Proprioseptif+core uygulayan deney grubunun 25 metre serbest teknik yüzme performansında anlamlı iyileşmeler bulunmuştur (ortalama fark -1,67±1,13 sn; son-test 21,66±2,59 sn). Gruplar arasındaki 25 metre serbest yüzme performansı anlamlı bulunmuştur (p=0,020). Proprioseptif+core uygulayan deney grubunun dikey sıçrama performansı (ortalama fark 4,75±2,19 cm; son test 24,25±1,34 cm) daha yüksek, kontrol grubunun dikey sıçrama performans testi (ortalama fark 2,31±1,37 cm; son test 16,07±1,74 cm) daha düşük bulunmuştur. Gruplar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p=0,018). 6 haftalık proprioseptif+core egzersizlerin kadın yüzücülerde 25 metre serbest teknik yüzme derecelerinde ve dikey sıçrama performans testinde pozitif etkiler yarattığı görülmüştür. Bulgular proprioseptif+core egzersizlerinin yüzme antrenmanlarına entegre edilmesinin performans gelişimi açısından yararlı olacağını göstermektedir.

Effects of Proprioceptive and Core Exercise Applications on Vertical Jump and Swimming Performance in Female Swimmers

Abstract

The study investigated the effects of proprioceptive+core exercises on female swimmers' 25-meter freestyle technical swimming performance and vertical jump performance. Sixteen females aged 20-26 with at least three year of swimming experience participated in the study. Participants were divided into two groups: Proprioceptive+Core Exercise Group (PCEG) (n=8 women) and the Control Group (CG) (n=8 women). The experimental group applied proprioceptive+core exercises in addition to their swimming training twice a week for 6 weeks, while the control group continued their routine swimming training twice a week. When the pretest and posttest results were examined, the 25-meter freestyle technical swimming performance of the proprioceptive+core experimental group was measured as 23.33±2.51 in the pretest and 21.66±2.59 in the posttest. The vertical jump performance of the proprioceptive+core experimental group was 18.73±6.43 in the pretest and 23.48±7.30 in the posttest. When the pretest and posttest were compared, significant differences were found in the experimental group's 25-meter freestyle technical swimming performance (p=0.004) and vertical jump performance (p=0.001). In the control group, the 25-meter freestyle technical swimming performance was measured as 24.58±1.56 in the pretest and 24.25±1.34 in the posttest. The vertical jump performance of the control group was measured as 13.76±1.66 in the pretest and 16.07±1.74 in the posttest. Significant improvements were found in the 25-meter freestyle technical swimming performance of the proprioceptive+core experimental group (mean difference -1.67±1.13 sec; posttest 21.66±2.59 sec). The 25-meter freestyle technical swimming performance between the groups was found to be significant (p=0.020). The vertical jump performance of the proprioceptive+core group was higher (mean difference: 4.75±2.19 cm; posttest: 24.25±1.34 cm), while the vertical jump performance of the control group (mean difference: 2.31±1.37 cm; posttest: 16.07±1.74 cm) was lower. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p=0.018). Six weeks of proprioceptive+core exercises were found to have positive effects on the 25-meter freestyle technical swimming times and the vertical jump performance test in female swimmers. The findings suggest integrating proprioceptive+core exercises into swimming training would improve performance.
