Comparison of classic Hemsball and dynamic Hemsball in terms of various variables such as cardi̇ac output, agility, balance and speed

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of classical Hemsball and dynamic Hemsball exercises on children's physical performance parameters. The study focused on physiological and motor skills such as resting heart rate, agility, balance, and reaction time. A total of 56 elementary school students aged between 9 and 11 participated in the research. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: classical Hemsball group (n=19), dynamic Hemsball group (n=19), and a control group (n=18). Exercise sessions were conducted three days a week, each lasting 60 minutes, over a period of six weeks. All participants underwent pre- and post-intervention assessments, including the T-Drill Agility Test, Flamingo Balance Test, 20- Meter Sprint Test, and resting heart rate measurements. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software with descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and ANOVA methods. The findings indicate that both Hemsball groups demonstrated significant improvements in resting heart rate, agility, balance, and reaction time. For the resting heart rate parameter, the classical Hemsball group showed a decrease from a pre-test mean of 88.6 ± 3.4 bpm to a post- test mean of 84.2 ± 3.0 bpm (p<0.05). Similarly, the dynamic Hemsball group exhibited a reduction from a pre-test mean of 89.3 ± 3.1 bpm to a post-test mean of 83.1 ± 2.9 bpm (p<0.01). In terms of agility, the dynamic Hemsball group demonstrated the most pronounced improvement; the T-Drill Agility Test results showed a decrease from a pre-test mean of 11.8 ± 0.6 seconds to a post-test mean of 10.9 ± 0.5 seconds (p<0.01). Balance performance, assessed via the Flamingo Balance Test, improved significantly in the classical Hemsball group, with a pre-test mean of 13.2 ± 2.5 seconds and a post-test mean of 16.8 ± 2.7 seconds (p<0.01). The dynamic Hemsball group also showed a significant increase, from a pre-test mean of 12.9 vii ± 2.3 seconds to a post-test mean of 17.6 ± 2.9 seconds (p<0.01). Reaction time results showed improvements in both Hemsball groups; however, no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups (p>0.05). In conclusion, Hemsball exercises significantly enhance children's motor skills and overall physical performance. While the dynamic Hemsball exercises yielded more pronounced improvements in agility and balance, no significant differences were observed between the classical and dynamic Hemsball groups. The reductions in resting heart rate suggest potential cardiovascular benefits of Hemsball exercises. These findings indicate that Hemsball is an effective method for enhancing physical capacity in children. Future studies involving longer intervention periods and diverse age groups are recommended to further validate and expand upon these findings.
