The purpose of the present research is investigating the effects of core trainings on some motoric features (strength and speed) among 18 year-old footballers. In the present research, 20 experiment group (age =18 years, body weight =71,66±6,61 kg, height =171,75±5,86 cm) and 20 control group (age =18 years, body weight =70,66±5,74 kg, height =171,75±2,99 cm), the total of 40 certified footballers, who played in 2013-2014 season, participated in the present research.Before the trainings, pre-test scores (sit-up, push-up, plank, vertical jump, medicine ball throwing, 30 m speed) were recorded. 30-35 minute core trainings, 2 days a week, for 8 weeks were conducted on the control group in addition to their regular training. Control group participants followed their regular yearly training program. At the end of the trainings, post-test scores of both groups were recorded by two experts in the field in accordance with the protocol. In order to evaluate the effects of 8-week core trainings of the strength development of footballers, paired t test was utilized for in-group comparisons and independent samples t test was utilized for inter-group comparisons.Consequently, it was observed that 8-week core training in addition to football trainings contributed to the strength and speed development among footballers. Accordingly, core trainings can be advised for football trainers, who work for youth teams of football clubs. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı 18 yaş grubu futbolcularda bölgesel (core) antrenmanların bazı motorik özelliklerin (kuvvet ve sürat) gelişimine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya 2013-2014 sezonunda lisanslı olarak futbol oynayan 20 denek grubundan (yaş =18 yıl, vücut ağırlığı =71,66±6,61 kg, boy =171,75±5,86 cm) ve 20 kontrol grubundan (yaş =18 yıl, vücut ağırlığı =70,66±5,74 kg, boy =171,75±2,99 cm) olmak üzere 40 futbolcu katıldı.Antrenmanlar öncesi grupların ön testleri (mekik, şınav, plank, dikey sıçrama, sağlık topu fırlatma, 30 m. sürat) alındı. Deney grubuna normal antrenmanlarına ek olarak 8 hafta boyunca haftada 2 kez günde 30-35 dk. core antrenmanlar uygulandı. Kontrol grubuna ise yıllık antrenman programında yer alan olağan antrenmanlar uygulandı. Antrenmanlar sonunda grupların son test ölçümleri alanında uzman iki kişi tarafından protokole uygun bir şekilde alındı. 8 hafta boyunca uygulanan merkez bölge (core) antrenmanlarının futbolcuların kuvvet gelişimine etkisinin değerlendirilmesinde grup içi karşılaştırmalarda paired t testinden gruplar arası karşılaştırmalarda independent sample t testinden yararlanılmıştır.Sonuç olarak; futbol antrenmanlarına ek olarak uygulanacak 8 haftalık merkez bölge (core) antrenmanlarının futbolcuların kuvvet ve sürat gelişimine katkı sağladığı görüldü.

Abstract The research problems of this study were (1) to find out the application of anagram technique in improving student’s vocabulary mastery and (2) to know whether there was a significant difference in vocabulary mastery between the experimental group where the anagram technique was implemented and the control group which no treatment was given during the experiment.  In this study, the writer used the quantitative method with quasi experimental group design. The samples of this study consisted of 36 students of VII E as Experimental Group and 36 students of VII F as Control Group taken from the second year students of seven classes of MTs N Pangkalpinang. The result of the test was analyzed by using statistical analysis of Paired sample t-test and Independent sample t-test. Based on the result analysis, there were two major findings, namely (1) the implementation of Anagram technique in developing students’ vocabulary mastery was successful and the result of difference analysis in post-test of experimental and control group showed that the value of t-obtained was 3.488 which was higher than t-table 2.03 (at the significant level p<0.05 in two tailed testing with degree of freedom 70). The result of this study showed when the means of the post tests between the two classes were compared, the post-test scores were better than the pre-test scores (43.31)for the experimental group (80.89).

In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of a core training program that was applied on football players on some performance parameters. In total, 40 football players, aged between 18 and 24 years old, who regularly trained in football and were from various amateur football teams participated: 20 athletes in the training group and 20 athletes in the control group. It was taken the pre-test measurements of the athletes’ vertical jump, 30-m speed, agility, and flexibility; after the 6-week core training program, which was applied three days a-week, and it was taken the post-test measurements of the athletes. The training group applied the core training in addition to football training for 6-week, whereas the participants in the control group did not apply any training program other than their ongoing football training. It was used the SPSS 22 statistics program to evaluate the data and Shapiro-Wilk test to determine the normality distribution of the data. Owing to the normal distribution of the data, it was used a paired t-test to compare the pre-test and post-test values within the groups and accepted the confidence interval for statistical processes as p < 0.05. It was found a statistically significant difference in the vertical jump pre-test and post-test values of the training group (p < 0.05). In the control group, there was no statistically significant difference in the vertical jump pre-test and post-test values (p > 0.05). It was found a statistically significant difference in the 30-m speed pre-test and post-test values of the training group (p < 0.05). In the control group, there was no statistically significant difference in the 30-m speed pre-test and post-test values (p > 0.05). It was found a statistically significant difference in the agility pre-test and post-test values of the training group (p < 0.05). In the control group, no statistically significant difference was found in the agility pre-test and post-test values (p > 0.05). Considering the in-group flexibility pre-test and post-test comparisons, a statistically significant difference was found in the flexibility pre-test and post-test values of the training group (p < 0.05). In the control group, there was no statistically significant difference in flexibility pre-test and post-test values (p > 0.05). Based on the results of the present research, the 6-week core training program that was applied to football players improved the performance of vertical jump, 30-m speed, agility, and flexibility.

Core Training

This study aims to analyze the effects of 6-week core training on certain biomotor abilities for footballers in the pubertal period. Accordingly, 30 male footballers who attend football courses regularly participated in the study. Footballers were divided into two groups; 15 of them were assigned to the Core Training Group (CTG) (age: 9.73 years; height: 139 cm; and body weight: 33.66 kg.) while 15 of them were assigned to the Conventional Training Group (CONTG) (age: 10.06 years; height: 139 cm; and body weight: 35.32 kg). While CONTG was applying the traditional training protocol, CTG additionally applied core strength exercises (two days a week for 10-15 min.). The selected biomotor tests were applied to both groups before and after the 6-week application. Between pre- and post-test values in the CTG, a statistically significant difference was found in flamingo balance, core stabilization balance, hand grip strength, 30 sec. abdominal crunch and 30 m sprint tests (p&lt;0.05). In the CONTG, a statistically significant difference was found in 30-second push-up test values between pre- and post-tests (p&lt;0.05). Comparing the pre-tests between groups, a statistically significant difference was found in flamingo balance and vertical jump tests (p&lt;0.05). Also, comparing the post-tests, a statistically significant difference was found in core stabilization balance and vertical jump tests (p&lt;0.05). As a result of this study, it was found that core training to be performed in addition to the traditional football training positively contributed to basic motor development.
