A comparative study on the physical fitness and performance of male basketball players in different divisions

Farklı Basketbol liglerinde yarışan erkekler oyuncuların liglere göre bazı fiziksel uygunluk ve performans değerleri arasında önemli bir farklılığın olup olmadığı konusunda bir bilgi eksikliği vardı. Bu nedenle bu araştırmada Türkiye Erkekler basketbol birinci, ikinci ve amatör liglerinde yarışan oyuncuların seçilen bazı fiziksel uygunluk ve performans değerleri arasında farklılık olup olmadığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu araştırmaya Türkiye basketbol erkekler birinci liginden (I) 30, ikinci liginden (II) 30 ve amatör liginden (III) 30 olmak üzere toplam 90 erişkin sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Sporcuların fiziksel uygunluk ve performans değerlerinin belirlenmesi için, müsabakaların birinci devrelerinin sonunda, boy, vücut ağırlığı, vücut yağ yüzdesi, dikey sıçrama yüksekliği, 20 m sprint koşu ve aerobik kapasite (max.VO2) değerleri test edilmiştir. Test edilen değerler arasındaki farkın önemliliği, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ile belirlenmiştir. Test edilen değerlerin istatistiksel analizi sonucunda ikinci lig oyuncularının vücut ağırlığı ortalamaları birinci ve amatör lig oyuncularının değerlerinden daha düşük bulunmuştur (p≤0.05). Bunun yanı sıra, birinci lig oyuncularının vücut yağ yüzdesi ve yağsız vücut ağırlığı ortalamaları ikinci lig oyunculardan daha yüksek değerlerde idi (p≤0.05). Dikey sıçrama yüksekliği bakımından sadece amatör lig oyuncuların değerleri farklı iken, patlayıcı güç bakımından her üç lig arasında önemli farklılıklar (I>II>III) vardı (p≤0.05). Birinci ve ikinci lig oyuncularının max.VO2 değerleri arasında önemli farklılık olmamasına rağmen, bunların max.VO2 değerleri amatör ligdekilerden yüksek idi (p≤0.05). Bu araştırma, ligler arasında fiziksel uygunluk bakımından kısmen çok küçük farklılıkların olduğunu göstermiştir. Basketbolda fiziksel performansın belirleyicilerinden olan özellikle patlayıcı güç ve yağsız vücut ağırlığı gibi özellikler, ligler arasındaki fiziksel performans farklılığının önemli göstergeleri olarak bulunmuştur. Buna karşın, yine basketbolda fiziksel uygunluk ve performansın önemli ölçütlerinden olan maksimal hız ve boy uzunluğunun, 2005–2006 yılı basketbol müsabaka dönemindeki ligler arasında, ligler arasındaki farklılığın belirlenmesinde önemli bir unsur olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Farklı liglerdeki erkek basketbol oyuncularının fiziksel uygunlukları ve performansları üzerinde karşılaştırmalı bir çalışma

There is a lack of information about the influence of different practice levels on physical fitness and performance variables of male basketball players competing in different divisions. Hence, the purpose of this study is to compare selected physical fitness and performance variables of male players in Turkey National Basketball League&#8217;s Division I (D1), II (D2) and III (D3=Regional) and to evaluate whether players with different divisional characteristics have different physical fitness and performance variables. From the Turkey basketball league, ninety male basketball players who are competing in the division I (n=30), division II (n=30) and division III (n=30) voluntarily participated in the study. Physical fitness (body height, mass and fat percentage) and performance (vertical jump height (VJH), vertical jump power (VJP), VO2max and 20 m sprint) measurements were taken in three separate consecutive days following the completion of the first session. D1 and D3 players overall weighed more and D1 players had more body fat (BF) and lean body mass (LBM) than D2. There were significant differences in VJP between divisions (D1>D2>D3= p<0.05), but, the differences in sprint ability and body height were not significant. Although there was no difference between D1 and D2 in VO2max and VJH, their values were significantly higher than D3 (p<0.05). These results showed that in spite of relatively little differences in the average physical characteristics, there were very large statistical differences between divisions in physical performance variables of male basketball players, especially VJP and LBM which is an important criterion of performance at basketball.
