Horse javeli̇n resistance band for athletes effect of strength training on sensitivity and motoric properties

This research was carried out to determine the effect of resistance band exercises on the speed, agility, balance and strength required for accurate throws in javelin equestrian athletes. Experimental design with pretest posttest control group was used in the research. 24 equestrian javelin athletes voluntarily participated in the study. Participants were homogeneously divided into two groups as experimental (n=12) and control group (n=12) according to the results of the pretest hitting the target. The groups were subjected to equestrian javelin training for 8 weeks. In addition to their routine work, resistance exercises were applied to the experimental group for 8 weeks. In the study, the participants' height and weight information were obtained by the researcher through the demographic information form as a pre-test and post-test, and BMI was calculated. Afterwards, speed, agility, balance, vertical jump and standing long jump tests were carried out in accordance with the guidelines. 30m sprint test, Agility test, vertical jump test, anterior balance test, Post-lateral balance test, post-medial balance test, flamingo balance test, standing long jump test and finally the hit test, which is the main problem of the research, were examined. It was found that there was a significant difference in the experimental group. In addition, a significant difference was observed in the vertical jump test control group. Therefore, it is thought that the traditional training program is effective.SPSS package program was used in the analysis of the data obtained, paired comparison analyzes were made in appropriate methods according to the distribution of the data. The analysis results were evaluated according to the significance level of p<0.05.
