Evaluation of Maximum Aerobıc Power, Shoot Speed and 20-m Sprint Power of Football Players at Pre-Season and Mid-Season

Abstract

Aim of the study to investigate differences on max. Aerobic performance, shoot speed, 20m. Sprint power of footballers between pre-season and mid-season during 2015-2016 1st ameteur leaque season. Twenty one amateur footballers with a mean age of 22.23 ± 2.22 years, height of 177.62 ± 0.41, weight of 79.52 ± 3.50, taken into experimental group. Participants put forward their maximum performance with shoot velocity (instep kicking technique) recorded with shot speed measurement pocket radar (Pocket Radar Classic PR1000), 20m sprint, Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test at pre-season and mid-season. Measurements were applied to the participants at 1st amateur league pre-season and mid-season 2015-2016. All statistical procedures were performed in SPSS 19.0 package program with Paired-T test. Result of paired-T test, Mean, Standard Deviation (x̅ ± ss) and Descriptive Statistical values of the variables were determined. In conclusion, Analysis revealed that there is no statistically significant differences found between 1st test of pre-season and 2nd test of mid-season shoot speed, aereobic capacity, 20m sprint capacity tests of footballers (p>0.05). According to the result, gained of the investigation, it was clearly seen that training programme applied to the footballers did not help to make any differences about the performances of footballers.
