Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between static and dynamic core stabilization with agility and speed among female basketball players. Core stability, encompassing static and dynamic components, is fundamental for maintaining balance and enhancing athletic performance. Materials and Methods: Fifteen female athletes from the Bandırma Basketball Team participated, undergoing a series of core stability, agility, and speed assessments. These included the plank and double leg lowering test for static core stability, back extensions for dynamic core stability, the Hexagonal Obstacle Test (HOT) for agility, and a 20-meter sprint test for speed. Results: The results revealed a significant positive correlation between static core stability (plank test) and speed performance (r=0.576, p=0.025), suggesting that greater static core stability enhances sprinting capability. However, no significant correlations were observed between dynamic core stability (back extensions) and either agility or speed. Additionally, agility and speed showed a moderate correlation (r=0.569, p=0.027), indicating a mutual influence. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of static core stability for speed performance and suggest that training programs for basketball athletes could benefit from emphasizing static core exercises to enhance sprinting ability.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, kadın basketbolcularda statik ve dinamik kor stabilizasyonunun çeviklik ve hız ile ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Statik ve dinamik bileşenleri içeren kor stabilitesi, dengeyi korumak ve atletik performansı artırmak için temel bir unsurdur. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bandırma Basketbol Takımı’ndan 15 kadın sporcu çalışmaya katılmıştır. Katılımcılar, kor stabilitesi, çeviklik ve hız değerlendirmelerini içeren bir dizi teste tabi tutulmuştur. Bu testler arasında statik kor stabilitesi için plank ve çift bacak indirme testi, dinamik kor stabilitesi için sırt ekstansiyonları, çeviklik için Altıgen Engel Testi (HOT) ve hız için 20 metre sprint testi yer almıştır. Bulgular: Sonuçlar, statik kor stabilitesi (plank testi) ile hız performansı (r=0.576, p=0.025) arasında anlamlı bir pozitif korelasyon olduğunu ortaya koymuştur; bu da daha iyi bir statik kor stabilitesinin sprint yeteneğini artırdığını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, dinamik kor stabilitesi (sırt ekstansiyonları) ile çeviklik veya hız arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca, çeviklik ve hız arasında orta düzeyde bir korelasyon (r=0.569, p=0.027) saptanmış olup, bu iki parametrenin karşılıklı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuç: Bu bulgular, hız performansı için statik kor stabilitesinin önemini vurgulamakta ve basketbol sporcuları için hazırlanacak antrenman programlarında sprint yeteneğini geliştirmek amacıyla statik kor egzersizlerine ağırlık verilmesi gerektiğini önermektedir.
