Effects of Static Stretching of Antagonist Muscles on Lower Extremity Power Output in Elite Female Volleyball Players

Öz

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of antagonist static stretching on lower-body peak power output in elite volleyball players. Methods: Twenty-one elite female volleyball players (age: 23.955.04 years, height: 181.907.54 cm, mass: 70.968.38 kg) were randomly divided into two groups: 1) antagonist static stretching group and 2) dynamic stretching group. After implementing the stretching protocols, peak power output was assessed by performing loaded squat jumps using three different loads: 20%, 40%, and 60% of one-repetition maximum. Forty-eight hours later, on the second testing day, participants in the dynamic stretching group and antagonist static stretching group switched groups and underwent the same procedure. Results: Peak power output obtained at 20% of one repetition maximum in dynamic stretching group was significantly greater than the peak power output at the same load in the antagonist static stretching group (p<0,05); no significant difference was found at the other equal loads between stretching groups (p>0,05). Peak power output values at three different exercise loads within each group were analyzed: in dynamic stretching group, peak power output was significantly greater at 20% compared to 60% of one repetition maximum (p<0,05), and at 40% compared to 60% of one repetition maximum (p<0,05). In antagonist static stretching group, peak power output was significantly greater at 20% compared to 60% of one repetition maximum (p<0,05), and at 40% compared to 60% of the one repetition maximum (p<0,05). Conclusion: Antagonist static stretching did not produce any beneficial effects in elite female volleyball players when compared to dynamic stretching.

Kadın Voleybolcularda Antagonist Kasa Yapılan Statik Germenin Alt Ekstremite Güç Çıktısına Etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, elit voleybol oyuncularında antagonist statik germe uygulamasının alt vücut zirve güç çıktısı üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 21 elit kadın voleybolcu (yaş: 23,95±5,04 yıl, boy: 181,90±7,54 cm, vücut kütlesi: 70,96±8,38 kg) katılmıştır. Katılımcılar, birinci test gününde rastgele iki gruba dağıtılmıştır: 1) antagonist statik germe grubu ve 2) dinamik germe grubu. Germe protokolleri uygulandıktan sonra zirve güç çıktısı, %20, %40 ve %60 bir tekrar maksimum ağırlık ile yapılan skuat sıçramaları sırasında değerlendirilmiştir. 48 saat sonra, ikinci test gününde, dinamik germe grubu ve antagonist statik germe grubu katılımcıları grup değiştirmiştir ve aynı prosedür uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Dinamik germe grubunda bir tekrar maksimumun %20’sinde elde edilen zirve güç çıktısı, antagonist statik germe grubunda aynı yükte elde edilen zirve güç çıktısından anlamlı derecede yüksektir (p<0,05). Diğer eşit yüklerde gruplar arasında zirve güç çıktısında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Her iki germe grubunda üç farklı yük altında üretilen zirve güç çıktısı değerleri analiz edilmiştir. Dinamik germe grubunda zirve güç çıktısı, bir tekrar maksimumun %20'sinde, bir tekrar maksimumun %60'ına kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05); ek olarak, bir tekrar maksimumun %40'ında zirve güç çıktısı, bir tekrar maksimumun %60'ına kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Antagonist statik germe grubunda ise, zirve güç çıktısı, bir tekrar maksimumun %20'sinde, bir tekrar maksimumun %60'ına kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05); bir tekrar maksimumun %40'ında ise bir tekrar maksimumun %60'ına kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Sonuç: Antagonist statik germe, dinamik germe ile karşılaştırıldığında elit kadın voleybol oyuncularında herhangi bir faydalı etki üretmemiştir.
