Futbolcularda Hamstring Kas Grubu Esnekliği İle Seçili Biyomotor Beceriler Arasındaki İlişkinin Karşılaştırılması

Futbol; sürat, çeviklik, ivmelenme, esneklik, sıçramalar ve denge gibi özelliklerin performansı doğrudan etkilediği, çeşitli dinamik aktivitelerini içeren karmaşık bir spordur. Birçok spor aktivitesinde olduğu gibi futbolda da hareket açıklığını kısıtlayan sınırlı kas esnekliğinin kası yaralanmaya yatkın hale getirdiği ve performansı bozduğu bilinmektedir. Bu bilgiler doğrultusunda çalışmanın amacı; futbolcularda hamstring kas grubu esnekliği ile seçili biyomotor beceriler arasındaki ilişkinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Araştırmaya yaş ortalaması 16.50±0.50 vücut ağırlık ortalaması 61.92±8.16 kg., boy uzunluğu ortalaması 1.74±0.06 cm., spor yaşı ortalaması 5.96±1.40 ve BKİ ortalaması 20.31±1.72 kg.m−2 olan 28 erkek futbolcu katılmıştır. Araştırmada “Kişisel Bilgi Formu,” “Aktif Diz Ekstansiyon Testi (ADET),” “İllinois Çeviklik Testi,” “20 Metre Sürat Testi,” “Durarak Uzun Atlama Testi” ve “Y Dinamik Denge Testi (YDDT)” veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışma verileri SPSS paket programında tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden Pearson Korelasyon Testi ve Bağımsız Örneklem T Testi ile elde edilmiştir. Analizlerin tamamında p<.05 anlamlılık düzeyi olarak kabul edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre; denge ve esneklik ortalamaları arasında özellikle sol ayak denge ayağı iken pozitif yönde ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Hamstring esnekliği ile uzun atlama, çeviklik ve sürat testleri arasında anlamlı düzeyde bir ilişki olmadığı belirlensede esneklik artıkça atletik performans değer ortalamalarının da artığı görülmektedir. Bu durumda hamstring esnekliğinin performans çıktıları üzerine olumlu yönde bir etkisinin olduğuna işaret etmektir. Bununla birlikte literatürde çelişkili sonuçların olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Comparison of the Relationship Between Hamstring Muscle Group Flexibility and Selected Biomotor Skills in Soccer Players

As in many sports activities, it is known that limited muscle flexibility, which restricts the range of motions in soccer, causes muscles to be prone to injury, impairing performance. This study aimed to compare the relationship between hamstring muscle group flexibility and selected biomotor skills in soccer players. This study was conducted with the participation of a total of 28 male soccer players with an average age of 16.50±0.50 years, an average body weight of 61.92±8.16 kg, an average height of 1.74±0.06 cm, an average training age of 5.96±1.40 years, and an average BMI of 20.31±1.72 kg.m-2. The “Personal Information Form,” “Active Knee Extension Test (AKET),” “Illinois Agility Test,” “20-M Sprint Test,” “Standing Long Jump Test,” and “Y Dynamic Balance Test (YDBT)” were used as data collection tools. The data were collected by Pearson Correlation Test and Independent Samples T-Test from among descriptive statistics in the SPSS package program. In all analyses, p<.05 was set as the significance level. Based on the findings: a positive correlation was found between the average scores of balance and flexibility, especially when the left foot was the balance foot. Although no significant relationship was found between hamstring flexibility and long jump, agility, and sprint tests, the mean athletic performance values appeared to have increased as the flexibility increased. This indicates that hamstring flexibility had a positive effect on performance outcomes.
