Investigation of the relationship between anaerobic endurance, agility and speed ​​parameters in young footballers

Aim: The aim of this project is to reveal relationships between anaerobic endurance, agility and speed parameters in young footballers. Materials and Methods: 20 footballers, at the age of 14 in Seyrantepe Ofspor Football Club in Kağıthane District of İstanbul, participated in our study. While body weight of them was mesasured an electronic scale with an accuracy of 0.1 kg, height measurements were measured with a digital height meter with an accuracy of 0,01 cm. The anaerobic endurance measurements of footballers were measured by repeated sprint ability test. The agility measurements were measured by T-agility test and the speed measurements were measured by 30 meters speed tests. For the speed and agility tests, we used Smartspeed, Fusion Sport brand photocell. As a result of all the measurements made, all statistical calculations are presented in the findings by being analyzed in the SPSS 25.0 package program. Since the footballers participating in the study showed normal dispersion, Pearson Crelation (r) method was applied to examine the relationship between parameters. This study was conducted with the relational survey model. Among the general survey model types, the relational survey model is a research model that aims to determine the existence of change or degree of change between two or more variables. Findings: It is clearly observerd that the decreasing percentage of the athletes that are participating in the study on a voluntary basis, affects the fatigue index and explains 59% of the total variance. In this respect, a favourable relationship between agilitiy and speed in a medium-level has been occured in the study that is carried out. It is seen that the speed parameter affects agility and expresses 23% of the total variance. While a favourable relationship between agility parameters and speed parameters has been encountered in a medium level, (p =, 017, r =, 483), the relationship between the decreasing percentage parameter and fatigue index parameter has been determined as highly favourable. (p =, 000, r =, 771). When the test results regarding the significance of the regression factor are examined, it is seen that the decreasing percentage parameter level (t = 5.675, p = .000) affects the fatigue index and explains about 59% of the total variance. Conclusion: As a conclusion, meaningful relationships have been determined between speed and agility parameters in young footballers (p<0,05). However, the results haven't been the same between anaerobic endurance, agility and speed parameters (p>0,05)
