Abstract
The aim of this study is to find out the relationship between agility and balance in trainable mentally disabled athletes.
Methods:In this study, a group of 15 mentally retarded men that are studying in private educational institutions and doing sports was selected as the experimental group. Their ages range from 8 to 14. It is composed of male athletes with intellectual disabilities whose mean of age is 10.80 ± 2.14 years, average of body weight 48.06 ± 4.74 kg, mean of the length size 154,73±5,10 cm. Agility and balance tests were administered to the experimental group. The data were evaluated in SPSS 22 statistical program by means of Correlation Analysis.
As a result of statistical analysis; positive significant relationship was found between age and weight parameters (r=83,7, p< 0.001), between age and height parameters (r = 88.2, p <0.001). There is a significant positive relationship between height and weight parameters (r=93,9, p< 0.001). It is seen that there is a significant negative relationship between height and agility parameters (r=-62,4, p<0.05). It is found that there is a significant negative relationship between balance and agility (r=-.70,4, p< 0.01).It is determined that there is a significant positive relationship between balance and weight parameters (r=65,8, p< 0.01).there is a significant positive relationship between balance and height parameters (r=72,8, p< 0.01).
Conclusions
Based on the advent of the ball, sudden change of direction and ensuring balance during the standstill in athletes with intellectual disabilities is very important. So, balance performances of athletes with intellectual disabilities are thought to be associated with the agility performance. Keywords: Trainable Mental Disabled, Agility, Balance.
