Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of a mini-band PAPE protocol on CMJ height in female basketball players and to determine whether this effect varies across different playing positions. Twenty-one female basketball players who regularly trained and participated in official competitions recruited in the study. The participants were tested in three separate sessions: familiarization, baseline (pre-test), and post-test following mini-band PAPE. The mini-band PAPE protocol consisted of five different exercises targeting the hip muscles, each performed in two sets. After a four-minute rest interval following the PAPE protocol, participants were given three attempts, and their highest jump height was recorded. A statistically significant improvement in CMJ height was observed after the mini-band PAPE protocol (p=0.036). Position-based analyses revealed significant improvement only in guard players (p=0.035). These findings indicate that mini-band protocols can acutely enhance CMJ height in female basketball players, although the magnitude of this effect remains small. Moreover, the effect appears to vary by playing position. Activation with mini-band can be used as a practical warm-up strategy in field settings due to their minimal equipment requirements and time efficiency. Future studies are recommended to investigate different mini-band resistance levels and long-term applications.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadın basketbolcularda mini-band PAPE protokolünün CMJ yüksekliği üzerindeki akut etkilerini araştırmak ve bu etkinin farklı oyun pozisyonlarına göre değişip değişmediğini belirlemektir. Düzenli olarak antrenman yapan ve resmi müsabakalara katılan yirmi bir kadın basketbolcu çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Katılımcılar üç ayrı oturumda teste tabi tutulmuştur: familarizasyon, referans değer (pre-test) ve mini-band PAPE sonrası son test. Mini-band PAPE protokolü, kalça kaslarını hedefleyen beş farklı egzersizden oluşmuş ve her biri iki set halinde uygulanmıştır. PAPE protokolünün ardından dört dakikalık bir dinlenme süresi verilmiş, ardından katılımcılara üç deneme hakkı tanınmış ve en yüksek sıçrama yükseklikleri kaydedilmiştir. Mini-band PAPE protokolü sonrasında CMJ yüksekliğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir gelişme gözlemlenmiştir (p=0.036). Pozisyona dayalı analizler yalnızca guard oyuncularında anlamlı bir gelişme olduğunu ortaya koymuştur (p=0.035). Bu bulgular, mini-band protokollerinin kadın basketbolcularda CMJ yüksekliğini akut olarak artırabildiğini, ancak bu etkinin büyüklüğünün küçük kaldığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, etkinin oyun pozisyonuna göre değiştiği görülmektedir. Mini-band ile yapılan aktivasyon, minimum ekipman gereksinimi ve zaman verimliliği sayesinde saha koşullarında pratik bir ısınma stratejisi olarak kullanılabilir. Gelecekteki çalışmalarda farklı mini-band direnç seviyeleri ve uzun vadeli uygulamaların araştırılması önerilmektedir.
