The aim of this study was to compare the relationships between
some motor skills in the upper extremity region of 20 male
volleyball players aged 15-18 years, competing in the 8th Group of
the 2nd League of the Turkish Volleyball Federation, with and
without suspended and unsuspended Push-Up (PU) bosu ball
exercises applied for 3 sessions every week for 8 weeks. In addition
to the normal training program, the first group was trained with
unsuspended (PU) and the second group was trained with suspended
(PU) for 8 weeks. Both groups performed Medicine Ball Throw to
evaluate upper extremity strength, Closed Kinetic Chain Upper
Extremity Stability Test to evaluate endurance and Upper Extremity
Y-Balance Test to evaluate balance before and after the training
program. As a result of this study, the difference values of the test
results before and after the training were compared. A significant
difference was found between the groups in the upper extremity
right and left arm 0,000, Y Balance Test Medial dominant 0,000,
and non-dominant 0,004, Superolateral dominant and non-dominant
0,000, Inferiorlateral dominant 0,024 and non-dominant 0,000, chest
and overhead 0,000 Health Ball Throw test difference changes
(p<0,05). Performing the applications used in classical training
methods on unstable grounds can increase the motivation of
volleyball athletes and contribute to their performance. As a result,
it seems that unsuspended and suspended (PU) exercises can
increase the levels of medicine ball throwing, closed kinetic chain
upper extremity stability test and upper extremity Y-balance test
with the exercises applied, although the levels are different. Further
studies on the subject by increasing the number of participants in
different groups and using electronic devices will be useful.
