Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different strength training methods on maximal strength/power and sprint performance of law enforcement/military personnel.
Method: Forty (29.1 ± 3.1 years, 76.9 ± 8.3 kg, 177 ± 5.6 cm) law enforcement personnel were randomly divided into two groups as traditional resistance training group (GG, n = 20) and cluster set resistance training group (CSG, n = 20). Participants performed half squat, deadlift, lat pulldown, and bench press exercises during 3 weekly strength training sessions using either the traditional set method (3 sets × 6 repetitions) or the cluster set method (3 × 2+2+2 (20s in-set rest)). Push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, 1TM, 10m and 20m sprint tests were performed as pre-test and post-test in the experimental study. A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) measurement design was used in the SPSS program to determine the differential changes between the two training groups (interaction: time × group).
Results: Both training groups showed statistically significant improvements in 1 TM, pull-up push-ups and 10m and 20m sprint performances after pre-test and post-test (p<0.05). However, a more statistically significant group and time interaction was observed in the cluster set group 1 TM squat (3.96±2.5%; p=0.01), 10m (4.3±0.8%; p=0.000) sit-ups (17.51±3.82%; p=0.00) and pull-ups (18.73±11.9%; p=0.00).
Conclusion: It can be suggested that cluster set method provides better advantages in resistance training of law enforcement personnel compared to the traditional resistance method.

Cluster Set Direnç Antrenmanı Alana Özgü Fiziksel Performans Parametrelerinde Daha Büyük Gelişim Sağlayabilir: Kolluk Örneği

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kolluk /Askeri personellerin kuvvet antrenmanlarında uygulanan iki farklı kuvvet yönteminin maksimal kuvvet/güç ve sprint performansına olan etkilerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır.
Yöntem: Çalışmada kırk kolluk personeli (29,1± 3,1 yıl, 76,9 ± 8,3 kg, 177 ± 5,6 cm) geleneksel direnç antrenman grubu (GG, n = 20), cluster setlemeli direnç antrenman grubu (CSG, n = 20) olarak randomize bir şekilde iki gruba ayrıldı. Katılımcılar haftada 3 seans kuvvet antrenmanlarında yarım squat, deadlift, latpulldown ve bench press egzersizini geleneksel setleme yöntemini (3 set × 6 tekrar) ya da cluster setleme yöntemini (3 × 2+2+2 (set içi dinlenme 20s)) kullanarak uyguladı. Deneysel yöntem kullanılan çalışmada ön test ve son test olarak şınav, mekik, barfiks, 1 tekrar maksimal (TM), 10m ve 20m sprint testleri uygulandı. İki antrenman grubu arasındaki farklı değişiklikleri belirlemek için SPSS programında tekrarlanan ölçümler varyans analizi (ANOVA) ölçüm tasarımı kullanıldı (etkileşim: zaman × grup).
Bulgular: Her iki antrenman grubu 1 TM, barfiks, şınav, 10m ve 20m sprint performanslarında grup içi ön test ve son test sonrasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı gelişmeler gösterdi (p<0,05). Ancak, cluster set grubu 1 TM squat (%3,96±2,5; p=0,01), 10m (%4,3±0,8; p=0,000) mekik (%17,51±3,82; p=0,00) ve barfiks (%18,73±11,9; p=0,00) istatistiksel anlamda daha anlamlı bir grup ve zaman etkileşimi gözlenmiştir.
Sonuç: Kolluk personelinin direnç antrenmanlarında, geleneksel direnç yöntemine kıyasla cluster setlemenin daha iyi avantajlar sağladığı söylenebilir.
