DÜZELTİCİ EGZERSİZ PROGRAMININ ADOLESAN ESKRİMCİLERDE GÖVDE DAYANIKLILIĞI, SIÇRAMA PERFORMANSI VE REAKSİYON ZAMANI ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: RANDOMİZE KONTROLLÜ ÇALIŞMA

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Fonksiyonel Hareket Taraması (FHT) Pro360 sistemi kullanılarak oluşturulan sekiz haftalık bireyselleştirilmiş Fonksiyonel Düzeltici Antrenman (FDA) programının, adölesan eskrimcilerde gövde kas dayanıklılığı, sıçrama performansı ve reaksiyon zamanı üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Randomize kontrollü, tek kör bir araştırma tasarlandı. 22 adölesan eskrimci (10-19 yaş aralığında), FDA grubu (n=11) ve kontrol grubu (n=11) olarak ikiye ayrıldı. Her iki grup da düzenli antrenman programlarına devam etti, yalnızca FDA grubu FHT sonuçlarına göre oluşturulan bireyselleştirilmiş, monitörize edilen egzersiz programına katıldı. Gövde dayanıklılığı testleri (McGill protokolü), OptoJump optic sistemi ile ölçülen sıçrama performansı (eller belde squat sıçraması, tek bacak sıçrama) ve görsel reaksiyon zamanı (sıçrama yüksekliği ve reaksiyon zamanı kaydedilerek) müdahale öncesi ve sonrasında değerlendirildi. Bulgular: FDA grubunda gövde ekstansiyon dayanıklılığı, kontrol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı düzeyde arttı (p=0.008). Ancak gövde fleksiyonu (p=0.114), sağ yan köprü (p=0.575) ve sol yan köprü (p=0.921) için gruplar arasında anlamlı fark gözlenmedi. Her iki grupta da kendi içinde squat sıçramasında (FDA: p=0.005; Kontrol: p=0.004), dominant tek bacak sıçramasında (FDA: p=0.008; Kontrol: p=0.002) ve reaksiyon zamanında (dominant: FDA p=0.014, Kontrol p<0.001; non-dominant: FDA p=0.029, Kontrol p=0.002) performans artışı saptandı. Ancak sıçrama performansı ve reaksiyon zamanı ölçümlerinde gruplar arası anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Antrenman programına ek olarak uygulanan 8 haftalık bireyselleştirilmiş FDA programı, adölesan eskrimcilerde gövde ekstansiyon dayanıklılığını artırdı, ancak sıçrama performansı ve reaksiyon zamanında bir fark oluşturmadı. FDA programlarının genç sporcuların gelişimindeki potansiyelini tam olarak ortaya koymak için daha büyük örneklemler ve daha uzun müdahale sürelerine sahip araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

EFFECTS OF A CORRECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM ON TRUNK ENDURANCE, JUMPING PERFORMANCE AND REACTION TIME IN ADOLESCENT FENCERS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an eight-week individualized Functional Corrective Training (FCT) program, developed using the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) Pro360 system, on trunk muscle endurance, jump performance, and reaction time in adolescent fencers. Method: A randomized controlled single-blind design was employed. Twenty-two adolescent fencers (aged 10-19 years) were allocated into either the FCT group (n=11) or control group (n=11). Both groups continued regular training, but only the FCT group received a supervised, individualized exercise program based on FMS results. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included trunk endurance tests (McGill protocol), jump performance (Countermovement Jump and Single-Leg Jump), and visual reaction time via OptoJump, an optical measurement system that records jump height and reaction time. Results: The FCT group demonstrated a significantly greater improvement in trunk extension endurance compared to the control group (p=0.008); while no between-group differences were observed for trunk flexion (p=0.114), right side bridge (p=0.575), or left side bridge (p=0.921). Both groups showed within-group improvements in squat jump (FCT: p=0.005; Control: p=0.004), dominant leg jump (FCT: p=0.008; Control: p=0.002), and reaction time (dominant: FCT p=0.014, Control p<0.001; non-dominant: FCT p=0.029, Control p=0.002). However, no significant between-group differences were found for jump or reaction time measures (p>0.05). Conclusion: An eight-week individualized FCT program improved trunk extension endurance in adolescent fencers but did not lead to superior gains in jumping performance or reaction time compared to regular training alone. Further studies with larger samples and longer interventions are needed to determine the full potential of FCT programs in youth athletic development.
