Afyon, Yakup Akif
Journal of Education and Training Studies, v7 n3 p79-85 Mar 2019
In this study, the effect of core training on some motor features of university footballers has been examined. 36 footballers both studying at Mugla Sitki Koçman University in Mugla, Turkey and playing in amateur leagues participated in the study. 18 university footballers of Mugla Sitki Koçman University Sports Club who play in Mugla Super Amateur League formed the experimental group (EG) (Age X = 21.4 ±2.12 years, Height X = 174.3 ±6.84 cm and Weight X = 75.9 ± 8,43 kg ). 18 footballers with amateur licences who play in the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, train regularly and play in the university faculty matches formed the control group (CG) (Age X = 21,6 ±2.56 years, Height X = 176.7 ±7.13 cm and Weight X = 76.3 ±8.43 kg). The required permissions were obtained and the students filled in the "Admission Consent Forms" before the applications. The trainings were done in the football field of Mugla Sitki Koçman University and the measurements were taken on the Faculty of Sports Sciences Physiology Laboratory. The 10-movements core training programme for eight weeks was applied to the EG footballers in addition to their weekly 2-day football training when the footballers in the CG continued their regular trainings. Before the study, the leg strength, back strength, right-left hand griping strength, flexibility, and vertical jump measurement were taken as pre-test values. After the 8-week training, the final measurements of the EG and the CG were taken. The comparison between the Pretest and Posttest was studied statistically with paired sample t test at 0.05 significance level Consequently it was determined the that the 8-week Core Training provided the undergraduate footballers with an improvement of their the leg strength, back strength, right hand griping strength and vertical jump (p<0.05). No improvement in flexibility features was observed.
