Investigation of the relationship between anthropometric properties and balance performance of volleyball players

Abstract

Volleyball is a branch played in a relatively small area. Volleyball players have various tasks. During these tasks, keeping the balance plays an important role. Postural control during volleyball actions is very important for players. The main purpose of all sports branches is to continuously improve the physical characteristics necessary for this sport and to improve the performance of athletes. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the anthropometric properties and balance performances of elite male volleyball players. In this study, which consists of male volleyball players playing in Turkish Men's Volleyball League (officially called The Efe League) in 2016-2017 season, the balance and anthropometric properties of twelve volunteer male volleyball players who played in MSK URFA (a team in Turkish Men's Volleyball League) in 2016-2017 season were investigated. As a result of the study, no significant relationship was found between balance and anthropometric properties. While the mean blindfolded balance of volleyball players was 1789.67 ±, the mean blindfolded squat balance was 2027,00±768,64, and the mean dynamic balance was 1178.41 ± 473.36, it was seen that there is only a low relationship between anthropometric properties of blindfolded balance and leg muscle weight/body weight percentage. There is a moderate relationship between the value of blindfolded squat balance and body mass index (BMI) and low relationship between the value of blindfolded squat balance and body fat index (BFI). It was seen that there is a moderate relationship between dynamic balance and BMI, BFI and leg muscle weight/body weight percentage.
