Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of kinesio tapes applied to different muscle groups on some physical fitness parameters in volleyball athletes. The research group consisted of 33 female participants aged between 15-17 years who played volleyball at Bayrampaşa Anatolian High School Sports Club. The participants were randomly divided into 3 groups as kinesiobant-treated group, placebo group with tension-free kinesiobant and control group without kinesiobant. In the study, the eurofit test protocol was applied to evaluate the physical fitness parameters of the participants. Statistical analysis of the data was performed in IBM SPSS 26.0 statistical package program. Whether the variables of the research data showed normal distribution or not was analyzed by “Shapiro-Wilk Test”. Paired sequences showing normal distribution were analyzed with “Paired Sequence T-Test”. Paired arrays that did not show normal distribution were determined by “Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test”. As a result, it was found that kinesio taping had a positive effect on balance, flexibility, vertical jump and agility performances in volleyball athletes, but there was no significant change in speed and grip strength. In this context, it is thought that integrating kinesio taping applications with supportive training methods by considering sport-specific requirements, athlete's experience level and individual characteristics may be an effective strategy to improve performance.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, voleybol sporcularında farklı kas gruplarına uygulanan kinezyo bantların bazı fiziksel uygunluk parametreleri üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma grubu, Bayrampaşa Anadolu Lisesi Spor Kulübünde voleybol oynayan ve yaşları 15-17 arasında olan 33 kadın katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılar kinezyobant uygulanan grup, gerimsiz kinezyobant uygulanan plasebo grubu ve kinezyobant uygulanmayan kontrol grubu olmak üzere rastgele 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Araştırmada katılımcıların fiziksel uygunluk parametrelerini değerlendirmek amacıyla eurofit test protokolü uygulanmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel analizi IBM SPSS 26.0 istatistik paket programında yapılmıştır. Araştırma verilerine ait değişkenlerin normal dağılım gösterip göstermediği “Shapiro-Wilk Testi’’ ile incelenmiştir. Normal dağılım gösteren eşlendirilmiş diziler, “Eşlendirilmiş Dizide T-Testi’’ ile analiz edilmiştir. Normal dağılım göstermeyen eşlendirilmiş diziler, “Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Testi’’ ile tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; kinezyo bantlamanın voleybol sporcularındaki denge, esneklik, dikey sıçrama ve çeviklik performansları üzerinde olumlu etkisi olduğu (p<0.05) ancak sürat ve kavrama kuvvetinde anlamlı bir değişim olmadığı (p>0,05) bulunmuştur. Elde edilen bulgular, kinezyo bantlamanın belirli fiziksel uygunluk parametrelerini geliştirmede etkili bir yöntem olabileceğini, ancak bazı parametreler üzerinde aynı düzeyde etkili olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda, kinezyo bantlama uygulamalarının spor dalına özgü gereksinimler, sporcunun deneyim düzeyi ve bireysel özellikler gibi faktörler dikkate alınarak planlanması ve diğer destekleyici antrenman yöntemleri ve müdahalelerle entegre edilmesinin sporcuların performansını optimize etmede etkili bir strateji olarak kullanılabileceği değerlendirilmektedir.
