EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEG STRENGTH AND VELOCITY VALUES IN AMATEUR FOOTBALL PLAYERS

The purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between conditional parameters ( leg strength, back strength, velocity 30 Mt, flexibility) by measuring some physical (height, body weight) and physiological (systole, diastole, KAH) characteristics of male football players of Karakopru Belediyespor and Harran University. According to the results obtained from the measurements, mean age was 23, 46±3,50 /years); as a part of physical characteristics ,mean height was 176,20±5,10 (cm) and mean body weight was 70,16±5,21 (kg). As a part of physiological characteristics, mean Systolic Blood Pressure was 123,87±14,23 (mmhg), mean Diastolic Blood Pressure was 73,60±16,42 (mmhg) and mean Resting Heart Rate was 64,50±10,48 (beats/min). As a part of conditional parameters, mean leg strength was 101,83±40,48 (kg), back strength was 75,83±19,43 (kg), flexibility was 34,16±6,65 (cm) and mean velocity in 30 Mt. was 4,15±0,20 (sec). It was observed that there was a relationship between 30 meters velocity and leg strength parameters (r=-, 407). There was no relationship between 30 meters velocity and back strength parameters (r=, 429); and between 30 meters velocity and flexibility parameters (r=, 659). As a result, while the relationship between velocity and back strength values of the amateur football players was not significant (p>0.05); the relationship between velocity and leg strength values was found to be significant (p<0.05).
