AB  - This study examines the effects of offset strength training on balance performance in football players, asserting that this method can significantly enhance balance compared to traditional training. The research involved a 6-week training program with 20 participants, divided into a performance group and a control group, each comprising 10 normal male football players. The performance group undertook regular team training and offset strength training (OST) twice a week, while the control group continued their standard training. Balance performance was assessed using the Single Leg Range of Stability (SLRS), Single Leg Land and Hold (SLLH), Single Leg Stand (SLS), and Single Leg Squat (SLSq) tests. Statistical tests evaluated balance scores before and after the intervention. Results indicated a statistically significant improvement in balance performance for the performance group compared to the control group (p ≤ 0,05). These findings align with previous research suggesting that offset training enhances balance performance. Findings suggest that offset strength training effectively improves balance performance and reduces muscle imbalance in male football players. This method offers a valuable alternative to traditional bilateral strength exercises, potentially providing a more varied training method.

N2  - Bu çalışma, ofset kuvvet antrenmanının futbolcuların denge performansı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemekte ve bu yöntemin geleneksel antrenmana kıyasla dengeyi önemli ölçüde artırabileceğini iddia etmektedir. Araştırma, 20 katılımcının yer aldığı 6 haftalık bir antrenman programını içermekte olup, bu katılımcılar 10 normal erkek futbolcudan oluşan bir performans grubu ve bir kontrol grubuna ayrılmıştır. Performans grubu, düzenli takım antrenmanlarının yanı sıra haftada iki kez ofset kuvvet antrenmanı (OKA) yaparken, kontrol grubu standart antrenmanlarına devam etmiştir. Denge performansı, Tek Ayak Denge Aralığı (TADA), Tek Ayak İniş ve Bekleme (TAİB), Tek Ayak Durma (TAD) ve Tek Ayak Squat (TAS) testleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel testler, müdahale öncesi ve sonrası denge skorlarını değerlendirmiştir. Sonuçlar, performans grubunun denge performansında kontrol grubuna kıyasla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir iyileşme gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur (p ≤ 0,05). Bu bulgular, ofset antrenmanın denge performansını artırdığına dair önceki araştırmalarla uyum içindedir. Bulgular, ofset kuvvet antrenmanının erkek futbolcuların denge performansını etkili bir şekilde iyileştirdiğini ve kas dengesizliğini azalttığını göstermektedir. Bu yöntem, geleneksel iki taraflı kuvvet egzersizlerine değerli bir alternatif sunmakta ve potansiyel olarak daha çeşitli bir antrenman yöntemi sağlamaktadır.
