Abstract :

The aim of this study was to examine the association between anaerobic endurance and vertical jump in elite athletes. A total of 14 elite male athletes from two different branches (boxing n = 6, handball n = 8) participated in the study. Average age of the athletes who participated in the study was 20.25±1.03 years, while average heights were 1.80±0.08 cm, average body weights were 77.14±18.91 kg, average years of doing sports was 9.87±3.31 years and the average number of playing in a national team was 10.0 ± 3.31. Smart speed lite was used to determine vertical jump while 3 corner running test was used to determine anaerobic endurance. Heart rates of all athletes were measured before warm up, after warm up and anaerobic endurance test by using a Polar watch. Significant association was found between anaerobic endurance and vertical jump performances (p 0.05) and it was concluded that athletes with good vertical jump skills also had good anaerobic endurance. As a conclusion, it was found that vertical jump explained anaerobic endurance with a rate of 0.34 and one unit change in the vertical jump influenced anaerobic endurance at a rate of 0.21.
