Futbol Kalecilerinde Sanal Gerçeklik Antrenmanının Reaksiyon Süresine Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sanal gerçeklik (SG) antrenmanlarının futbol kalecilerinin reaksiyon süreleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya, Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu (TFF) tarafından resmi lisans verilmiş 12 erkek futbol kalecisi katılmıştır. Araştırmamıza katılan 12 futbol kalecisi 6'sı kontrol grubu, 6'sı performans grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. Performans grubu 6 hafta boyunca haftada 2 gün olmak üzere Rezzil Player® sanal gerçeklik uygulaması ile toplamda 12 birim antrenman gerçekleştirmiştir. Kontrol grubu ise kendi takım antrenmanlarına devam etmiştir. Araştırmanın başında ve sonunda ön-test ve son test olarak Go/No-Go testi uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, uygulama grubunun reaksiyon sürelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Kontrol grubunun reaksiyon sürelerinde anlamlı bir değişiklik saptanmamıştır (p>0.05). Analiz sonuçlarına göre performans grubu kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırıldığında reaksiyon sürelerinde istatistiksel olarak pozitif yönde anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Bu çalışma, futbol kalecilerine yönelik reaksiyon antrenmanlarında SG teknolojisinin etkili bir yöntem olabileceğini göstermektedir. SG, sporcuların becerilerini geliştirmek için faydalı bir araç olarak kullanılabilir.

Investigation on the Effect of Virtual Reality Training on Reaction Time in Football Goalkeepers

Öz

This study aims to investigate the effects of virtual reality (VR) training on the reaction times of football goalkeepers. A total of 12 male goalkeepers, who were officially licensed by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), participated in the research. Among the 12 goalkeepers, 6 were assigned to the control group and 6 to the performance group. The performance group underwent a total of 12 training sessions over 6 weeks, training 2 days a week, using the Rezzil Player® virtual reality application. The control group continued with their regular team training sessions. Before and after the training period, a Go/No-Go test was conducted as a pre-test and post-test. According to the analysis results, a statistically significant difference was found in the reaction times of the application group (p<0.05). No significant change was detected in the reaction times of the control group (p>0.05). When comparing the performance group to the control group, a statistically significant positive difference in reaction times was observed in favor of the performance group (p<0.05). This study indicates that VR technology can be an effective method in reaction training for football goalkeepers. VR can be utilized as a beneficial tool for enhancing athletes' skills.
