Abstract
The aim of this study was to define anaerobic powers of sub-elite level racket and futsal players playing at university teams and to make comparison whether there was a difference between two groups or not. 12 racket (age: 19.83±1.02 yr) and 10 futsal players (age: 20.80±0.91 yr), 22 male players in total, voluntarily took part in this study. Body composition, Wingate anaerobic power test (WAnT), vertical jump, Illinois agility, handgrip strength and isokinetic leg strength measurements of the participants were carried out. SPSS 22.0 was used for data analysis and “Independent Samples T test” was used for comparing the data. Relative peak power (RPP) was as 12.04 W/kg, 11.41 W/kg in racket and futsal players respectively, at WAnT. And for the strength test, isokinetic extensor strength was measured as 220.61 Nm, and 217.40 Nm, isokinetic flexor strength as 134.82 Nm and 126.28 Nm. Dominant (D) and non-dominant (ND) handgrip strength measurements of the participants were detected as 51.51 kg/f and 49.58 kg/f in racket sports players, as 43.42 kg/f and 41.37 kg/f in futsal players respectively. The difference between these variables was found statistically significant only at D (p = .009) and ND (p = .004), handgrip strength parameters, the difference in other variables was not found significant. As a consequence, although WAnT, handgrip and isokinetic leg strength of racket sports players were found higher than futsal players, only the difference between handgrip strengths was statistically significant. This result showed us that there was no statistical difference between anaerobic strength parameters of racket and futsal players except for handgrip strengths.
Highlights
Energy comprises by usage of various fuels with engagement of both aerobic and anaerobic systems
Hearth rates (HR) of futsal players were found to be similar to tennis (Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2009) and badminton (Faude et al, 2007) for most of the playing time and their max.HRs were found above 80%.The fact that HR to be high during the game is estimated as a result of anaerobic metabolism (Barbero-Alvarez et al, 2008)
Body composition values of the racket players and futsal players were respectively detected as BF values 12.98%, 11.71%, fat-free mass (FFM) values 61.59 kg, 61.50 kg, trunk fat values 13.51%, 12.71%, D-AF values 15.01%, 13.63%, ND-AF values 16.18%, 13.30%, D-LF values 11.24%, 9.50%, and ND-LF values 12.27%, 10.40%
Summary
Energy comprises by usage of various fuels with engagement of both aerobic and anaerobic systems. Hearth rates (HR) of futsal players were found to be similar to tennis (Fernandez-Fernandez et al, 2009) and badminton (Faude et al, 2007) for most of the playing time and their max.HRs were found above 80%.The fact that HR to be high during the game is estimated as a result of anaerobic metabolism (Barbero-Alvarez et al, 2008) Their average blood lactate levels were measured above 5.3 mmol (Castagna et al, 2009). Comparisons were made with football, handball (de Souza et al, 2014) and basketball (Ramos-Campo et al, 2014) in general which are team sports similar to futsal
