The Effect of Static And Dynamic Warm-Up Protocols on Fitness Component And Body Fat Percentage of Athletes in Different Branches

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of static and dynamic warming protocols on some motor tests and body fat percentage of athletes in different branches. In this study, 50 (25 female and 25 male) athletes from Mersin University High School of Physical Education and Sports volleyball, football, basketball, wrestling and handball branches were formed the sample group of the research. The anthropometric characteristics of the individuals Height and weight measurements were made to determine and body fat percentages were determined by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis.As engine performance tests, Vertical jump test, Sprint performance test (20m), sit- reach flexibility test were applied. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference between measurements.  Data was tested for normality with the “Kolmogorov Smirnov Test”. Kruskall Wallis tests were used for comparison among five groups. According to our findings no significant difference was observed between the male branches in terms of body fat percentage (%BF). Female soccer players were found to have the least body fat percentage when compared to other branches (p <0.01).  Static and dynamic warming protocols it was found to have an effect statistically significant (p <0.05, P <0.001) in sit- reach flexibility, vertical jump and speed test values of athletes in different branches. As a result; it has been found that the static and dynamic warming protocolshave different effects in terms of the different sports branches and motor performance parameters. When both male and female performance values ​​were examined, dynamic heating was found to be more dominant. It can be said that the physical and physiological values of the athletes are directly related to the performance of being suitable for the sports branch involved. For this reason, the use of warming protocols is recommended with regard to the results of the study presented here.
