The Examinaton Of Relationships Among Static And Dynamic Balance, Speed And Agility In Female Football Players

Abstract

The aim of this study was öto examine relationship among stability, speed and agility at female soccer players. The twenty-threee female soccer players participated in this study voluntarily (n=23, age=15.69±1.39 years, height=161.33±5.48 cm, weight=55.04±8.44 kg). The stability parameters of female soccer players were measured as static stability at opened and closed eyes positions and dynamic stability by stability measurement device. The 10, 30 and 40 meters sprint tests ans Illinois agility test were performed on synthetic turf soccer pitch by electronic photocell system. The 10, 30 and 40 meters sprint and Illinois agility test durations were determined. All tests were performed on different days and at the same time of day. The relationship stability, speed and agility parameters was determined by Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients. According to analyze results, there was no significant correlation among stability, speed and agility parameters except for the correlation between the 30 meters sprint values and ATE (average track error) values from stability parameters. Consequently, it might be said that there was no significant relationship among stability, speed and agility parameters of female soccer players and stability ability at female soccer players could not be affected by speed and agility abilities.

The Effect of Leg Strength and Jump Performance on Balance in Handball Players

“…Athletes' total dynamic balance mean balance error was expressed as a percentage (%) value. A low mean balance error percentage was interpreted as indicating good dynamic balance, and a high value as indicating poor dynamic balance (10).…”

“…The closed-eye test was then applied, with participants undergoing the same test with their eyes shut. A 1-min rest period was allowed between the tests (10).…”

“…The test was stopped and restarted in the event of inability to maintain balance during measurement, measurement being affected by environmental factors, or the hands making contact with the device. In the event of a participant being unable to complete the test within the specified time, the best performance up to that time was recorded as the test result (10).…”

“…All sectors can be separately examined in this way. If the sector proportion exceeds 20% the device offers protocol options ranging between 2 and 88 degrees of difficulty in order to overcome the problem there or to improve balance, and participants are enabled to perform applications improving their balance skills (10).…”
