The Effects of the 8-Week FIFA 11+ Kids Warm-up Program on Some Performance Parameters in Football Players Aged 10–14 Years

Öz

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the 8-week "FIFA 11+ for Kids" warm-up program on balance, ball speed, reaction time, vertical jump, agility, and speed in male football players aged 10–14 years. Active and trained 24 male football players aged 10–14 years voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to an experimental (n=12) or a control (n=12). The experimental group warmed up with the FIFA 11+ for Kids program, whereas the control group performed their usual warm-up program. The effects of the FIFA 11+ for Kids program were investigated by applying agility, balance, ball speed, vertical jump, and reaction time tests to both groups before and after 8 weeks of training. The data was checked for normality by using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Independent Samples t-test and Paired Samples t-test were utilized to analyze the data. In the experimental group, statistically significant differences were found in speed, balance, and ball speed values (p<0,05), while there was no difference in agility, reaction, and vertical jump values (p>0,05). In the control group, statistically significant differences were found in speed, balance, reaction, and average reaction time values (p<0,05), while there was no difference in the vertical jump, agility, and ball speed values (p>0,05). It was found that the FIFA 11+ for Kids warm-up program, which was applied twice a week for 8 weeks, improved speed, balance, and ball speed parameters in male football players aged 10–14 years.

10-14 Yaş Grubu Futbolcularda FIFA 11+ Çocuklar Isınma Programının Bazı Performans Parametrelerine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada; 8 hafta uygulanan “FIFA 11+ Çocuklar” ısınma programının 10-14 yaş grubu erkek futbolcularda denge, top hızı, reaksiyon zamanı, dikey sıçrama, çeviklik ve sürate olan etkilerini ölçmek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma yaşları 10-14 yıl olan aktif futbol oynayan 24 erkek gönüllü futbolcu ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma deney grubu (n=12) ve kontrol grubu (n=12) olmak üzere iki grup şeklinde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın deney grubunda haftada 2 gün FIFA 11+ Çocuklar ısınma programı uygulanırken kontrol grubunda standart antrenman ısınması uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada her iki gruba da 8 haftalık antrenmanlardan önce ve sonra çeviklik, denge, top hızı, dikey sıçrama ve reaksiyon zamanı testleri uygulanarak FIFA 11+ Çocuklar ısınma programının etkileri araştırılmıştır. Verilerin normallik düzeyleri Shapiro-Wilk testi aracılığıyla belirlenmiştir. Normallik varsayımını sağlayan verilerin analizinde parametrik testlerden Independent Samples t-testi ve Paired Samples t-testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada deney grubunda sürat, denge ve top hızı testlerinde son testler lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark belirlenirken (p<0,05) çeviklik, reaksiyon, dikey sıçrama testlerinde ön test ve son test değerleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Kontrol grubunda ise sürat, denge, reaksiyon ve reaksiyon ortalama son test değerlerinde anlamlı farklılık belirlenirken (p<0,05) dikey sıçrama, çeviklik, top hızı testlerinde ön test ve son test değerleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). 8 hafta boyunca haftada 2 kez uygulanan FIFA 11+ Çocuklar ısınma programının 10-14 yaş grubu erkek futbolcularda sürat, denge ve top hızı parametrelerini geliştirdiği tespit edilmiştir.
