Examining the relationship between balance, flexibility and power in fences
Keywords:
Fencing, Balance, Flexibility, Long JumpAbstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the relations between balance, flexibility, and standing long jump
performances of 10-13-year-old fencing athletes. A total of 20 male fencers participated in the study voluntarily.
The Flamingo Balance Test, Sit-Reach Test, and Standing Long Jump Test were applied in the study to determine
the performance of fencers. The SPSS Package Program was used for the analysis of the data obtained in the study.
As well as the values obtained as a result of the Shapiro-Wilk Test, it was investigated whether the data showed normal distribution with Q-Q Plots and histogram graphs and it was determined that they were not normally
distributed. For this reason, the Spearman Correlation Analysis was performed to determine the relations between
the performance values of the athletes. The significance level was taken as p<0.05. As a result of the study, it was
found that there were negative relations between balance and flexibility performances in fencing athletes. balance
and standing long jump performances in fencing athletes; however, no relation was detected between flexibility
and standing long jump performances.
