The effects of physical fitness parameters of the core training program used in football and volleyball players

This study was planned with the aim of investigating the effects of football and volleyball players on physical fitness and performance parameters of the core training program. Twenty male soccer players (the mean age 15,40±0,82, mean leght 1,70±0,06 m, mean body weight 59,85±5,00 kg) who play football at Pursaklar Municipality Sports Club with 14 male volleyball players (the mean age 15±00, mean leght 1,86±0,06 m, mean body weight 73,57±7,24 kg) who play volleyball at Halkbank Volleyball Clup included in study on a voluntary basis. Before the trainings, pre-test scores ( speed 10-20m, sit-up 30 sn, 20 m shuttle run, vertical jump, core stabilization and prone bridge ) were recorded. İn addition to the normal training of both groups, the core training program was applied for 8 weeks including the first 6 weeks (3 days / week) and the last 2 weeks (2 days / week). At the end of the training, the final test measurements of the groups were taken in accordance with the protocol. The data obtained were evaluated using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 statistical program. According to the result of resarch, at the end of the training program there was a significant increase in performance tests of football and volleyball players (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in anaerobic power performance values only for football players. While there was a significant increase in the final measurement values of prone bridge, gövde fleksiyon and gövde extensions of both groups, there was no significant difference in letheral fleksiyon test in volleyballs. When performance and core stabilization tests of football and volleyball players were compared, the performance values showed a significant difference, but this difference was not observed in gövde fleksiyon test (p<0.05). According to the results obtained in the research, it can be said that the core training programs to be applied to football and volleyball training will contribute to the development of performance parameters such as strength, speed and endurance of young football and volleyball players.
