Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare velocity and power parameters during bench throw and loaded-squat jump movements according to some sports branches. In accordance with this purpose, 12 handball players (age: 25,2 ± 5,72 years; height: 189,7 ± 7,33 cm; weight: 97,9 ± 11,5 kg), 12 volleyball players (age: 20,2 ± 1,28 years; height: 194,3 ± 7,67 cm; weight: 87,4 ± 7,39 kg) who competed in Turkey 1st League and 12 national martial players (age: 25,2 ± 3,25 years; height: 174,3 ± 6,52 cm; weight: 70,2 ± 7,99 kg) and 12 national arm wrestling players (age: 20,5 ± 2,02 years; height: 174,7 ± 4,76 cm; weight: 72,6 ± 8,31 kg), totally 48 players (age: 22,8 ± 4,17 years; height: 183,2 ± 11,07 cm; weight: 82,06 ± 14,3 kg) participated voluntarily in this study. In order to determine velocity and power parameters, loaded-squat jump (SJLoad) movement was applied by using an external load that corresponds to 40% of body weights and bench throw (BT) movement was applied by using an external load that corresponds to 30% of body weights of the participants by utilizing an isoinertial velocity transducer (T-Force dynamic measurement system) and values of mean propulsive velocity (MPV), peak velocity (PV), mean propulsive power (MPP) and peak power (PP) during both movements were obtained. Descriptive analyses, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for data analysis. According to the results of the analysis; a statistically significant difference was obtained between the groups in terms of velocity and power parameters obtained during both the BT and the SJLoaded movements. As a result, it can be asserted that the velocity and power characteristics during the movements towards the upper and lower body differ according to the sport branches and characteristics.
