Effect of Pilates and traditional stabilization exercises on physical performance and mental toughness in adolescent female basketball players

Öz

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of traditional stabilization exercise and Pilates exercise principle, another strengthening principle, on adolescent girls basketball players.
Methods: In this study, women basketball players between the ages of 12-16, Çağdaş Batı İhtisas Spor Kulüp were included. By recording socio-demographic information, athletes were divided into two groups by randomization: Pilates group (n = 8), traditional stabilization group
(n=8). The first group was trained by paying attention to ten basic principles of Pilates. Traditional stability exercises were given to the second group. Exercise program was applied to athletes in both groups for 60 minutes, 3 days a week for 6 weeks. Closed kinetic chain stabilization test was performed for neuromuscular control in athletes. Respiratory muscle strengths were evaluated. Eighteen meters of sprint test was applied for aerobic capacity. Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire was used in sports for their psychological effects.
Results: In the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test, a significant increase was found in both groups (p <0.05). When the intra-group differences of respiratory muscle strength measurement parameters were analyzed, there was a statistically significant difference in both groups (p<0.05), while no significant change was found in the volume parameter for the Traditional Stabilization Exercise Group (p=0.16). Considering the aerobic capacity differences, an increase in aerobic capacity was detected in both groups (p<0.05). When the intra-group differences of mental endurance inventory measurement parameters in sports were analyzed, a significant increase was found (p<0.05). Considering the average differences of all parameters evaluated within the group, it was observed that there was no difference between the groups in terms of the change of parameters (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: As a result of this study, the positive effects of Pilates and traditional stabilization exercise training on all parameters evaluated were observed. The inclusion of any of the two trainings applied to athletes in the training program can positively affect the physical performance and mental toughness of the athlete.

Adölesan kız basketbolcularda pilates ve geleneksel stabilizasyon egzersizlerinin etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, geleneksel stabilizasyon egzersizini ve diğer bir güçlendirme ilkesi olan Pilates egzersiz prensibinin adölesan kız basketbolcular üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak idi.
Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya, 12-16 yaş aralığında, Çağdaş Batı İhtisas Spor Kulübü kadın basketbol sporcuları dâhil edildi. Sosyodemografik bilgileri kaydedilerek, sporcular randomizasyonla iki gruba ayrıldı: Pilates grubu (n=8), geleneksel stabilizasyon grubu (n=8). İlk gruba Pilatesİin on temel ilkesine dikkat edilerek eğitim verildi. İkinci gruba geleneksel stabilite egzersizleri verildi. Her iki gruptaki sporculara egzersiz programı 6 hafta boyunca, haftada 3 gün 60 dakika uygulandı. Sporculardaki nöromusküler kontrol için kapalı kinetik üst zincir stabilizasyon testi uygulandı. Solunum kas güçleri değerlendirildi. Aerobik kapasite için 18m sprint test uygulandı. Psikolojik etkilenimleri için sporda zihinsel dayanıklılık envanteri kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Kapalı kinetik zincir üst ekstremite stabilite testinde grup içine bakıldığında her iki grupta da anlamlı artış bulundu (p<0,05). Solunum kas gücü ölçüm parametrelerinin grup içi farklılıklarına bakıldığında her iki grupta da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunurken (p<0,05), geleneksel stabilizasyon egzersiz grubu için hacim parametresinde anlamlı bir değişiklik saptanmadı (p=0,16). Aerobik kapasite farklılıklarına bakıldığında her iki grupta da aerobik kapasitede artış tespit edildi (p<0,05). Sporda zihinsel dayanıklılık envanteri ölçüm parametrelerinin grup içi farklılıklarına bakıldığında, anlamlı bir artış bulundu (p<0,05). Değerlendirilen tüm parametrelerin grup içinde ortalama farkları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda gruplar arasında parametrelerin değişimi açısından da fark olmadığı gözlemlendi (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucunda, pilates ve geleneksel stabilizasyon egzersiz eğitimlerinin, değerlendirilen tüm parametrelerde olumlu etkileri gözlemlenmiştir. Sporculara uygulanan iki eğitimden herhangi birinin, antrenman programına dahil edilmesi, sporcunun fiziksel performansını ve zihinsel dayanıklılığını olumlu etkileyebilir.
