Comparison of the physical fitness levels of gymnast athletes using the fitnessgram test battery

This study is an experimental study among quantitative research models, and results will be obtained using the pre-test - post-test experimental control group model from real trial models (Karasar, 2010) technique. Materials to be used to obtain the results; Height measuring tool (stadio meter), body weight measuring tool (scales), speed measuring tool (photocell), tape measure, hand grip strength measuring tool and a flexibility bench will be used to determine flexibility. The Fitnessgram Test battery will be used to determine the physical fitness of athletes who do or do not do gymnastics. Our study will be carried out in Kahramanmaraş/Elbistan District with 20 volunteer athletes between the ages of 8-12 who have been doing gymnastics for at least 1 year and 20 volunteer athletes who do not do gymnastics. Athletes will undergo 8-week strength, flexibility and endurance training planned for 8 weeks. All measurements of the experimental and control groups will be taken before the 8-week training and the data will be recorded. Data will be obtained from the experimental and control groups after 8 weeks of training. The data obtained will be analyzed with the spss package program.
