Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between strength, flexibility and balance parameters of male basketball players with performance dimension. Sixteen elite basketball players participated in the study voluntarily. Leg and back strength, flexibility and static and dynamic balance parameters of the participants were examined. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient method was used to determine the relationship between performance values obtained from strength, flexibility and balance parameters. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained; between LS and BS (r = 0.676 p < 0.01), SBRL and SBB (r = 0.787 p < 0.01), SBLL and SBB and SBRL (r = 0.688 p < 0.01, r = 0.791 p < 0.01), DBB and SBB and SBRL (r = 0.775 p < 0.01, r = 0.752 p < 0.01), DBRL and SBB, SBRL, SBLL and DBB (r = 0.800 p < 0.01, r = 0.694 p < 0.01, r = 0.707 p < 0.01, r = 0.874 p < 0.01), DBLL and SBB and SBRL (r = 0.765 p < 0.01, r = 0.652 p < 0.01) are high related. Whiler there was a moderate relationship between DBB and SBLL(r = 0.610 p < 0.05), DBRL and SBRL, DBB and DBRL (r = 0.588 p < 0.05, r = 0.589 p < 0.05, r = 0.566 p < 0.05), there were no relationship between FLX and LS and BS(r = 0.430 p > 0.05, r = 0.155 p > 0.05), SDİ SBB and LS, BS and FLX (r = 0.341 p > 0.05, r = 0.388 p > 0.05, r = 0.274 p > Z0.05), SDSA SBRL and LS, BS and FLX (r = 0.103 p > 0.05, r = 0.347 p > 0.05, r = 0.167 p > 0.05), SBLL and LS, BS ve FLX (r = -0.027 p > 0.05, r = 0.237 p > 0.05, r = 0.022 p > 0.05), DBB and LS, BS ve FLX (r = 0.211 p > 0.05, r = 0.306 p > 0.05, r = 0.268 p > 0.05), DBRL and LS, BS and FLX (r = 0.268 p > 0.05, r = 0.433 p > 0.05, r = 0.281 p > 0.05), DBLL and LS, BS and FLX (r = 0.136 p > 0.05, r = 0.137 p > 0.05, r = 0.164 p > 0.05). As a result, it is thought that the basketball players’ performance will be increased by paying attention to the content of training programs due to the sudden direction change actions of basketball, which are related to strength, flexibility and balance parameters of male basketball players.
