Effect of Combined Training on Anaerobic Power and Motor Skills of Korfball and Basketball Players

Abstract

In this study, the effects of eight-week combined training program on the development of anaerobic power and some isometric forces of korfball and basketball players are examined. 29 male (10 basketball players, 9 korfball players and 10 control group) university students, whose age range is 19-24 years, participated in the study. While basketball and korfball players were included in the training program, the participants in the control group continued their routine daily activities. Mean power (watts), peak power (watts), relative power (kg / watts), vertical jump (cm), right hand and left hand paw force (kg) and leg force (kg) were measured before and after the training program. Eight-week training program (3 days a week) consisted of resistance exercises (60- 1RM), plyometric exercises (30 cm, 40 cm and 50 cm safes), common and intensive intervals (60-80% HR max), coordination and technical-tactical exercises. Statistically significant increase are determined in the peak power, relative power, vertical jump and leg force values of the basketball group and vertical jump, right hand, left hand and leg force values of the korfball group (p<0.05). In the light of the data obtained, it is seen that the increase in the performance values of basketball players is higher than the korfball players. Anaerobic power and vertical jump in basketball are more dominant than the korfball branch and the game progress is faster than the korfball. These reflect the effects of the training. As a result, it was observed that the combined training program used in this study contributes to improving the performance of basketball players, while different training models should be used for korfball players.
