Ballistic training method athletes effect on some motoric featuresreview

The aim of this research is to examine the effect of 6-week ballistic strength training on performance parameters of speed, agility, explosive strength and discus throwing in discus throw athletes. The research group consisted of 20 active discus throwers registered with the Palestinian Athletic Federation. The groups were randomly divided into 10 experimental and 10 control groups. 30 meters Speed test, T Agility test, Standing Long Jump test and Discus Throw test were applied to the athletes included in the study twice before and after the 6-week ballistic strength training with two repetitions. Shapiro-Wilk normality analysis was used for the analysis of the data distribution. Paired t-Test were used to determine the statistical difference between the pre-test and post-test measurements of the data that were found to be normally distributed within the group. The statistical significance level in the analyzes was accepted as p<0.05. Considering the results of the study, the experimental group mean height of the athletes included in the study was 176.5±2.12, the control group mean height was 177.1±4.20, the experimental group mean body weight was 91,3±2,86, the control group mean body weight was 91,1±2,80. When the data of the experimental group were examined, a statistically significant difference was found in the explosive force parameter and the throwing disc parameters (p<0.05). When the control group was examined, a statistically significant difference was found in the explosive force parameter (p<0.05). In the comparison between the groups, a statistically significant difference was found in the throwing parameter. As a result, it has been revealed that ballistic training positively affects the physical performance parameters of discus throwers.
