Investigation Of The Effects Of Coordination And Balance Trainings On Some Biomotor Skills Of Football Players

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of coordination and balance training applied during the preparation period on speed and flexibility in young football players in the 10-14 age group (born in 2010-2011 and 2012-2013). 40 athletes from Beşiktaş Gebze Football School participated in the study group voluntarily. In the research, 20 meter speed test and flexibility sit-reach test were performed. Istanbul Gelişim University Rectorate Ethics Committee Presidency approved the suitability of the research with the decision numbered 2024-01-153. Data analysis was done with SPSS 24 program. After the evaluations, the Independent T test was used to compare two independent groups. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the pretest-posttest results of flexibility (p<001) and sprinting (p=000) in the 2012-2013 age groups. It has been concluded that the 6-week preparation period planned before the season affects speed and flexibility performance, and in this sense, it can be a guide for coaches in different branches.
