Relationship between Agility, Jumping and Repetitive Sprint Performance in Young Female Volleyball Players

Öz

Aim: This study investigated the relationship between agility, jumping, and repeated sprint performance of young female volleyball players. Methods: The study sample consisted of 20 young female volleyball players (age: 16.55±1.10; height: 163.95±4.39; weight: 54.16±8.03) as volunteers. In the study, anthropometric measurements, sprint, T-test agility, countermovement jump, squat jump, and repeated sprint ability tests were measured as performance tests. SPSS 26 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results: According to the findings of the study, it was determined that there was a significant negative correlation between weight and, squat jump (p<0.05; r=-0.512) and body mass index and squat jump (p<0.01; r=-0.593). There was a positive significant relationship between T-test agility and 5m sprint (p<0.01; r=0.795) and 10m sprint (p<0.01; r=0.681). There was a significant negative correlation between countermovement jump and 5m sprint (p<0.01; r=-0.644), countermovement jump and 10m sprint (p<0.01; r=0.609), and countermovement jump and T-test agility (p<0.01; r=-0.651) and a significant negative correlation between squat jump and 5m sprint (p<0.01; r=-0.569), between squat jump and 10m sprint (p<0.01; r=0.629) and between squat jump and T-test agility (p<0.01; r=-0.649). Conclusion: The results of this study provide important conclusions about the multifaceted nature of the physical performance of young female volleyball players. Coaches and athletes can consider these relationships in their training programmes to improve specific performance areas and adapt the exercise protocols to individual player profiles.

Genç Kadın Voleybolcularda Sürat, Çeviklik, Sıçrama ve Tekrarlı Sprint Performansı İlişkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada genç kadın voleybolcuların çeviklik, sıçrama ve tekrarlı sprint performansı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini 20 genç kadın voleybol sporcusu (yaş: 16,55±1,10; boy: 163,95±4,39; kilo: 54,16±8,03) gönüllü olarak oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada performans testleri olarak antropometrik ölçümler, sürat, T testi çeviklik, karşı hareket sıçraması, skuat karşı hareket sıçraması ve tekrarlı sprint yeteneği testleri ölçülmüştür. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 26 istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmanın bulgularına göre kilo ile skuat karşı hareket sıçraması (p<0,05; r=-0,512) ve vücut kütle indeksi ile skuat karşı hareket sıçraması (p<0,01; r=-0,593) arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. T testi çeviklik sonuçları ile 5m sürat (p<0,01; r=0,795) ve 10m sürat (p<0,01; r=0,681) arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Karşı hareket sıçraması ile 5m sürat (p<0,01; r =-0,644), karşı hareket sıçraması ile 10m sürat (p<0,01; r=0,609) ve karşı hareket sıçraması ile T testi çeviklik (p<0,01; r=-0,651) arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ve skuat karşı hareket sıçraması ile 5m sürat (p<0,01; r=-0,569), skuat karşı hareket sıçraması ile 10m sürat (p<0,01; r=0,629) ve skuat karşı hareket sıçraması ile T testi çeviklik (p<0,01; r=-0,649) arasında ise negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Antrenörler ve eğitmenler, kilo ve vücut kütle indeksi ile sıçrama performansı arasındaki negatif ilişkinin farkında olmalı ve oyuncuları sağlıklı bir kiloyu korumaya teşvik etmelidir. Ayrıca, antrenörler ve eğitmenler oyuncularının hız ve çeviklik becerilerini geliştirmeye odaklanmalıdır; zira bu beceriler sıçrama performansıyla pozitif yönde ilişkilidir.
