Anaerobik Mesafe Kapasitesi Futbolda Hız, İvmelenme ve Çeviklik Üzerinde Etkili midir?

Abstract

This study purposed to examine the effect of anaerobic distance capacity on agility, speed and acceleration in young football players. Twenty-five young football players participated in the present study voluntarily (n= 25, age= 16.72±1.10 years, height= 174.04±8.34 cm, weight= 65.86±11.26 kg). Agility value of young football players was obtained by the Illinois agility test. The speed and acceleration values of players were measured by 30-meter sprint test. 800 and 2400-meter run tests were performed to determine critical velocity and anaerobic distance capacity values. Players performed all of tests with maximum effort on a synthetic grass football pitch. The critical velocity and anaerobic distance capacity values were determined by total distance model (linear regression analysis between time and distance of 800 and 2400-meter runs). The slope and y-intercept of the regression line was determined as critical velocity and anaerobic distance capacity values, respectively (Total Distance Model: Run Distance = Anaerobic Distance Capacity + Critical Velocity x Run Duration). The effect of critical velocity and anaerobic distance capacity values on agility, speed and acceleration was examined by multiple linear regression analysis. According to linear regression models, it was found that anaerobic distance capacity and critical velocity values were not significant predictors of agility, speed and acceleration (p>0.05). Consequently, it can be said that anaerobic distance capacity value does not affect high-intensity anaerobic activities such as agility, speed, and acceleration in young football players.
