Comparing The Physical and Selected Basic Motoric Properties Of Sportsmen In Racket Sports

Comparing The Physical and Selected Basic Motoric Properties Of Sportsmen In Racket Sports

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to compare the physical and selected basic motoric properties of sportsmen in racket sports. The study group consisted of 14 tennis and 12 badminton students who received education in the Department of Coaching Training of Erciyes University School of Physical Education and Sports and participated in the study voluntarily. The volunteers who participated in the study were measured in terms of length, weight, body mass index, static and dynamic balance, hand and foot reaction, vertical jump, anaerobic power, hand grip strength, speed, agility and flexibility. The data were recorded with the SPSS 16.0 package software. One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used for the normal distribution of the data. Independent samples t-test was used in inter-branch comparisons. P<0.05 value was accepted to be significant. We determined no significant differences between the age, length, weight, body mass index, dynamic balance, foot reaction, vertical jump, anaerobic power, hand grip strength and agility parameters of volunteers who participated in the study (p>0,05) and significant differences between the static balance, hand reaction, flexibility and speed parameters (p<0,05) As a consequence, we observed similarities between some of the physical and selected basic motoric properties of tennis and badminton sportsmen. Physical and motoric properties that do not show similarities are thought to be caused by different field measurements in tennis and badminton sports, as well as the different materials being used.
