THE COMPARISON OF LEG STRENGTH, ANAEROBIC POWER AND FLEXIBILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN ACCORDING TO AGE VARIABLE

40521

The aim of this study was to compare leg strength, anaerobic power and flexibility characteristics of young and middle-aged athletic and sedentary women according to age variable. A total of 40 athletic and sedentary women voluntarily participated in this study. Participants were divided into 4 groups according to participation in sports and age status as “Young Athletic Group (YAG)” with an average age of 21.70±1,77 years, “Young Sedentary Group (YSEG)” with an average age of 21.00±1,15 years,“Middle-Aged Athletic Group (AAG)” with an average age of 39.50 ± 5.85 years and “Middle-Aged Sedentary Group (M-ASEG)”with an average age of 39.10±3.72 years. To determine participants’ physical and physiological characteristics, age, height and body weight, leg strength, vertical jump and flexibility were measured, and body mass index and anaerobic power were estimated by specific formulas. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS packet program. ANOVA and Tukey test was used to determine the differences between the groups. Alpha was set as 0.05. In conclusion; it significant differences were found among groups in terms of body weight, body mass index, vertical jump, leg strength, flexibility and anaerobic power.
