FUTBOLCULARDA 8 HAFTALIK STATİK GERME ANTRENMANLARININ SIÇRAMA PERFORMANSINA ETKİLERİ

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of eight weeks static stretching traning on jumping. 18 male amateur soccer players (age:21,78±4,25 year; height: 180,11±6,38 cm; weight: 76,19±7,73) were voluntarily participated to study. Subjects were randomly diverted into two groups as stretching (n=10) and control (n=8). Flexibility, horizontal jump distance and vertical jump length were determined using Sit and Reach Test, Standing Long Jump Test and Countermovement Jump technique respectively. Following pre test, stretching group performed static stretching programme three days a week for eight weeks which consisting of ten static stretches that were designed to improve subjects flexibility and include jumping muscles. Following eight weeks static stretching programme, similar measurements were completed. In order to analyze gathering datas, Paired t test was used for determination of intragroups differences and İndependent t test was used for determination of intergroups differences.(p<0.05) There were statistically significant differences between pre and post test flexibiliy measurements (30,60±4,78; 33,90±3,14 cm) and horizontal jump distance (206,38±19,93; 210,25±19,47 cm ) for stretching groups (p<0,05). Yet, there were no statistical differences between groups comparison (p>0,05) To conclude, performed long-term stretching programmes could effect positively on jumping in amateur soccer players. However this study couldnt explore the underlying mechanism of how this effect occured. Future researches about long-term static stretching effects on maximal muscular performances will warranted to illustrate exact physiologicals and metabolics mechanism for those effects.
