The Effect of Parachute Supported Speed Training Programme Applied to Footballers on Their Match Speed Parameters

This study is to determine the effect of parachute assisted speed trainings on the speed parameters of soccer players. 20 licenced soccer players (age 21.76 ± 1.75, 69.04 ± 9.10 kg, height 177.47 ± 4,05) playing in turkey football federation 2016-2017 season in the regional league amateur football club 1926 bulancakspor were included in this study. in our study; in order to determine the speed parameters of the athletes (polar team pro v.2.0.), the device was equipped with gps substructure for 90 minutes. then, in addition to routine training programs, 3-day parachute-supported speed training program was carried out 3 days a week. at the end of 4 weeks, a competition was held for 90 minutes and the study was terminated. statistical evaluations were made on the spss 22.0 programme. the values obtained from the pre-test and posttest were compared statistically by means of wilcoxon signed rank test after looking at normality distribution. speed parameters of the parachute assisted speed training program applied to the players participating in the study; (7.00-10.99, 24.00≥ km / h) distance traveled (kem) (m) values, maximum speed and sprint number were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). also (3.00-6.99 km / h) kem (m), (11.00-14.99 km / h) kem (m), (15.00-23.99 km / h) kem (m) values and a significant relationship with the environment speed values not found (p>0.05). speed parameters of parachute assisted speed trainings applied to footballers; sprint number, maximum speed and (7.00-10.99, 24.00≥km / h) kem (m) values significantly, speed to the environment, (3.00-6.99, 11.00-14.99, 15.00-23.99 km / h) kem (m) values if there is no effect.
