ÖZET
Amaç: Çalışmada yer alan katılımcıların temel motor becerilerden olan adımlama frekanslarının yaşlarına ve cinsiyetlerine göre incelenmesi ve karşılaştırılmasıdır. Bu doğrultuda, nedensel karşılaştırma yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmada yer alan katılımcılar Ankara'da yer alan 3 spor okulundan seçilmiştir. Junior Academy Sports, Ankara Şehir Kulübü ve M.T.A. Spor Kulübünde çoklu branş eğitimi alan 484'ü erkek 278'i ise kız 762 sporcu araştırma grubuna velilerinden alınan gönüllü olurları ile dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırmada yer alan katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş ve adımlama testi (OptoJump aracılığıyla) parametre verileri toplanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında ulaşılan veriler, IBM SPSS 25.0 programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcılara ait kişisel bilgiler, test ve parametrelerin ortalamaları, frekans (f) ve yüzde (%) değerleri tespit edilmiştir. Normal dağılım olmadığı için nonparametrik testler uygulanmış olup, ikili karşılaştırmalarda Mann-Whitney U testi, çoklu karşılaştırmalarda Kruskal-Wallis testi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda ulaşılan bulgular, %95 güven aralığında ve p<0,05 anlamlılık düzeyinde değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizi incelendiğinde, cinsiyete göre birçok parametrede sol, sağ ve toplam adım ölçümlerinden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu ve farkın havada kalış süresi dışında erkeklerin lehine olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Yaşa göre ise hız parametresi dışında yaş gruplarına göre (6-12 yaş aralığı) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olmadığı görülmüştür. Sonuç: Bu araştırmadan elde bulgulara göre yaş arttıkça adımlama frekansında daha etkili bir faktör olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Cinsiyetin ise adölesan dönemde çocukların adımlama frekans değerleri üzerinde etkili bir faktör olduğu ve erkeklerin kızlara oranla söz konusu lokomotor becerilerinin daha iyi olduğu söylenmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: OptoJump; adımlama; adımlama frekansı
ABSTRACT
Objective: To examine and compare the stepping frequencies of the participants in the study, which is one of the basic motor skills, according to their age and gender. In this direction, the causal comparison method was utilized. Material and Methods: The participants in the study were selected from three sports schools in Ankara. 762 athletes, 484 boys and 278 girls, who received multi-branch training at Junior Academy Sports, Ankara City Club and M.T.A. Sports Club, were included in the research group with the voluntary consent of their parents. Gender, age and stepping test (via OptoJump) parameter data of the participants in the study were collected. The data obtained within the scope of the research were analyzed through IBM SPSS 25.0 program. Personal information of the participants, averages, frequency (f) and percentage (%) values of the tests and parameters were determined. Since there was no normal distribution, non-parametric tests were applied, Mann-Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparisons and Kruskal-Wallis test was used for multiple comparisons. The findings obtained as a result of the analyses were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and p<0.05 significance level. Results: When the data obtained in the study were analyzed, it was concluded that there was a statistically significant difference in left, right and total stride measurements in many parameters according to gender, and the difference was in favor of men except for the duration of stay in the air. According to age, there was no statistically significant difference according to age groups (6-12 age range) except for the speed parameter. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, it was concluded that as age increases, it is a more effective factor in stride frequency. Gender is an effective factor in the stepping frequency values of children in adolescence and it is said that boys have better locomotor skills than girls.

Keywords: OptoJump; stepping; stepping frequency
