Abstract:

The aim of this study is to examine some selected physical parameters of male football players in the 13-14 age group of different 8-week training programs. The football players participating in the study consisted of 4 different groups: plyometric n=12, core n=12, resistance band n=12, control n=12. Wet weight, vertical jump, standing long jump, hand grip strength, back leg strength and leg strength tests were applied to all 4 groups before and after the study. Normality homogeneity test was applied to the obtained data and it was determined that the data showed a normal distribution and Paired-sample T test was applied for paired group comparisons from parametric tests and One-Way Anova test was applied for intergroup comparisons. Obtained findings were tested statistically at p<0.05 significance level. When the pre-test and post-tests were compared as a result of the exercises, a significant change was found in the vertical jump, standing long jump, hand grip strength, back leg strength in all groups compared to the pre-test.
