Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between strength, flexibility and balance parameters of male basketball players with performance dimension. Sixteen elite basketball players participated in the study voluntarily. Leg and back strength, flexibility and static and dynamic balance parameters of the participants were examined. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient method was used to determine the relationship between performance values obtained from strength, flexibility and balance parameters. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained; between LS and BS (r = 0.676 p &lt; 0.01), SBRL and SBB (r = 0.787 p &lt; 0.01), SBLL and SBB and SBRL (r = 0.688 p &lt; 0.01, r = 0.791 p &lt; 0.01), DBB and SBB and SBRL (r = 0.775 p &lt; 0.01, r = 0.752 p &lt; 0.01), DBRL and SBB, SBRL, SBLL and DBB (r = 0.800 p &lt; 0.01, r = 0.694 p &lt; 0.01, r = 0.707 p &lt; 0.01, r = 0.874 p &lt; 0.01), DBLL and SBB and SBRL (r = 0.765 p &lt; 0.01, r = 0.652 p &lt; 0.01) are high related. Whiler there was a moderate relationship between DBB and SBLL(r = 0.610 p &lt; 0.05), DBRL and SBRL, DBB and DBRL (r = 0.588 p &lt; 0.05, r = 0.589 p &lt; 0.05, r = 0.566 p &lt; 0.05), there were no relationship between FLX and LS and BS(r = 0.430 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.155 p &gt; 0.05), SDİ SBB and LS, BS and FLX (r = 0.341 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.388 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.274 p &gt; Z0.05), SDSA SBRL and LS, BS and FLX (r = 0.103 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.347 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.167 p &gt; 0.05), SBLL and LS, BS ve FLX (r = -0.027 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.237 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.022 p &gt; 0.05), DBB and LS, BS ve FLX (r = 0.211 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.306 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.268 p &gt; 0.05), DBRL and LS, BS and FLX (r = 0.268 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.433 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.281 p &gt; 0.05), DBLL and LS, BS and FLX (r = 0.136 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.137 p &gt; 0.05, r = 0.164 p &gt; 0.05). As a result, it is thought that the basketball players&rsquo; performance will be increased by paying attention to the content of training programs due to the sudden direction change actions of basketball, which are related to strength, flexibility and balance parameters of male basketball players.

Summary

Introduction

“how to achieve success, how to reach the top, how to stay at the top” these questions and concerns are important in the selection of players specific to the branch and determine the training models to be applied. Skill-related components include speed, agility, strength, balance, coordination, and response time (Çakmakçı et al, 2019). In sport, this is well known that small times make teams or players winner (Tatlıcı ve ark 2018). Basketball is a team sport that requires high level technical skills and tactical ability (Yılmaz et al, 2012), in which compound motoric features such as necessity of application in sudden and changing positions, coordination, reactionary properties (Akçayaka, 2009), quick strength and endurance in strength are important (Menevşe, 2013).
