The Effect of Motor Performance on Sportive Performance of Children in Different Sports Branches

Q: What is the main purpose of the study?

To investigate the relationship between children’s motor performances and ball striking speeds, and to determine whether motor performance differs among sports branches.

Q: How were motor performance and ball striking speeds measured?

Motor performance was assessed with the Dordel Koch Test, and ball hitting velocities and technique speeds were measured using a radar instrument.

Q: What do the results indicate about differences between sports branches?

Motor performances differ by branch: soccer players showed higher performance than tennis and volleyball players in the DKT push-up test, while football players performed lower than both tennis and volleyball players in the DKT balance test.

The study examines how motor performance relates to ball striking speeds in children aged 10–14 and whether motor performance differs across sports branches. Sixty-four children participated from football, volleyball, and tennis. Motor performance was measured using the Dordel Koch Test, while ball hitting and related technique speeds were recorded with a radar instrument. Spearman correlation and Kruskal–Wallis tests were applied to assess relationships and inter-branch differences.

A total of 64 children (football = 22, volleyball = 19, tennis = 23) aged 10-14 years participated in the study. The motor performances of the children participating in the study were determined with the Dordel Koch Test and the ball hitting velocities with the radar instrument. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between ball hitting velocities and motor performance, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine the difference between the engine performances of the branches. According to the results obtained, there was a positive correlation between the DKTstanding long jump performance of the soccer players and the shooting speeds, between the volleyball players' DKTshuttle and DKTpush-up performances and the service speeds, between the DKTshuttle and DKTpush-up performances of the tennis players and service and forehand strokes p<0.01 . It was determined that soccer players had higher performance than both tennis players and volleyball players in the DKTpush-up test, while football players in DKTbalance test had lower performance than both tennis players and volleyball players p <0.05 . As a result, it has been found that motor performances differ according to the children’s branches. In addition, it is considered that the requirements of the sports branch (active use of the lower extremity, volleyball and upper extremity in the football) are effective on motor performance.
