The Comparison Of Anthropometric and Physiologic Characteristics Between Isfahan juniors Football Players

Abstract This research has been performed on 34 volunteer male basketball players aged 12-14 age groups from junior male basketball team of Ankara University and Ulaútırma Sports Club. The subjects have been randomly divided into the experimental and control groups . Before training program resting heart rate , systolic-diastolic blood pressure, aerobic-anaerobic capacity have been evaluated for both groups, besides some measurements have been also performed on some parameters by using Eurofit test battery. The same measurements have been performed again after the 8 weeks combined training program for the experimental group and the effect of combined trainings on these parameters has been tried to determine. In this 8 weeks period, the subjects in the control group have not been put to an extra training program, they have carried on their daily sports life. SPSS 8.0 statistical package program has been used for the statistical analysis and arithmetic average, standart deviation, standart error and range of the values have been determined. The differences between groups have been examined by t-test in the significance level 0.01 and 0.05. In consequence of this research, it has been observed that while the values of body height (% 0,61 ; p <.001), leg power (% 17,21 ; p <.001), pull-up motion (% 32,06 ; p < .001), standing long jump (% 6,85 ; p < .001) and aerobic capacity (% 8,65 ; p < .001) have showed an increase, the values of resting heart rates (% 7,71; p < .005), 10 x 5 m. (% 13,15 ; p < . 001) and left hand reaction time to light (% 7,31; p < .0005) have showed a decrease after the first and the last measurements of combined training program for the experimental group. It has not been observed any changes in the control group. As a result, it has been determined that the combined trainings performed on experimental group have been more efficient than technical trainings
