EVALUATION OF THE RE LATIONSHIP BETWEEN L EG STRENGTH AND VELOCITY VALUES IN AMATEUR FOOTBALL PLAYERS

The purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between conditional parameters ( leg strength, back strength, velocity 30 Mt, flexibility) by measuring some physical (height, body w eight) and physiological (systole, diastole, KAH) characteristics of male football players of Karakopru Belediyespor and Harran University. According to the results obtained from the measurements, mean age was 23, 46±3,50 /years); as a part of physical cha racteristics ,mean height was 176,20±5,10 (cm) and mean body weight was 70,16±5,21 (kg) . As a part of physiological characteristics, mean Systolic Blood Pressure was 123,87±14,23 (mmhg) , mean Diastolic Blood Pressure was 73,60±16,42 (mmhg) and mean Resting Heart Rate was 64,50±10,48 (beats/min ) . As a part of conditional parameters, mean leg strength was 101,83±40,48 (kg), back strength was 75,83±19,43 (kg), flexibility was 34,16±6,65 (cm) and mean velocity in 30 Mt. was 4,15± 0,20 (sec). It was observed that there was a relationship between 30 meters velocity and leg strength parameters (r= - , 407 ). There was no relationship between 30 meters velocity and back strength parameters (r=, 429); and between 30 meters velocity and flexibility param eters (r=, 659) . As a result, while the relationship between velocity and back strength values of the amateur football players was not significant (p>0.05) ; the relationship between velocity and leg strength values was found to be significant (p
