Effect of Korfball-Based Movement Training on Selected Motoric Characteristics

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of korfball-based movement training on selected motor skills in athletes. The sample group of the study consisted of 35 athletes, consisting of the experimental group (n=15) and the control group (n=20), who received training in the korfball branch at Batman Sports High School Sports Club.Korfball-based movement training was implemented for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 60-90 minutes per day. Height, weight, vertical jump, sit-reach flexibility, 20 m. speed and plank test measurements were applied as pre-test and post-test. Pre-test and post-test comparisons were made with the measurements. SPSS program was used to statistically analyze the data obtained at the end of the research. Shapiro-Wilk test for normality test; Levene test was applied to test homogeneity. Skewness and kurtosis values were checked for data sets that did not show a normal distribution, and data sets within ±2 were considered to have a normal distribution. To analyze the differences between applications, two-way analysis of variance (2x2) was applied in repeated measurements. Greenhouse Geiser correction test was used in measurements where the assumption of sphericity was not met. Tukey test was used in post hoc analysis. According to the results of two-way analysis of variance of the vertical jump, plank test, and 20 m sprint test applied by the participants in the control and experimental groups, a statistically significant difference was determined between the groups. According to the results of two-way analysis of variance of the illionis and flexibility tests applied by the participants in the control and experimental groups, no statistically significant difference was detected between the groups (p<0.05). As a result; statistically significant differences was found in vertical jump, plank and 20m. speed skills in korfball-based movement training.
