The effect of 6 weeks functional myofascial line exercises on sprint and agility in 12-14 aged tennis athletes
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of functional myofascial line exercises applied for 6 weeks on sprint and agility in 12-14 years old tennis players. The sample consisted of 13 girls and 13 boys aged 12-14 years who were tennis athletes in Antalya. In addition to tennis training in the experimental group an exercise programme consisting of four exercises for 6 weeks, 2 days in a week was conducted. The control group continued only tennis training. As a result of the research, the girls experimental group's 20 m sprint pre-test and post-test statistically significant difference (p = .02) with a large effect size (r = .63); v-cut agility pre-test and post-test with a large effect size (r = .57) a statistically significant difference (p = .04) was found. In addition, a statistically significant difference (p = .01) was found between the 20 m. sprint pre-test and post-test of the boys experimental group with a large effect size (r = .63); a statistically significant difference (p = .01) was found between the v-cut agility pre-test and post-test with a large effect size (r = .63). In the control group, 20 m. sprint in both boys and girls groups there was no statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test and v-cut agility pre-test and post-test.
