Abstract:

This study aims to research the relation of flexibility and vertical jump values with the sex,age,height,body weight,percentage of body fat and body fat proportion in the persons between the age of 8-13.Also, this study aims to research the relation of flexibility with vertical jump.With this purpose , 66 females and 32 males who are in the average age of 10,32±1,24 years , in the average height of 138,01±10,41 cm and in the average weight of 32,77±9,02 kg are included in this study.With height ,body weight and ages of subject persons;flexibility,vertical jump,percentage of body fat and values of body fat proportion are defined.In the analysis of these data,Independent T test and One Way ANOVA test are used. In the result of these tests, it is determined that vertical jump values have a meaningful relation with sex, body height , body weight ,age and body fat proportion (p˂0,01) but it is also established that vertical jump values have no meaningful relation with body fat proportion and flexibility (p˂0,05). It is seen that flexibility is meaningful in favour of females(p˂0,01), there is a negative relation between flexibility and age ,body mass index(p˂0,05).It is also seen that flexibility has no positive or meaningful relation with height ,body weight and percentage of body fat proportion(p˂0,05).
