The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a
relationship between strength, speed, flexibility, agility, and
anaerobic power in elite athletes. In various sport branches 29 active
male athletes participated in this study with an average age of
21.14±1.98 years who without any health problems. Back and leg
strength were measured by dynamometer (Takei), speed was
measured by 20 meters test, agility was measured by T test,
flexibility was measured by sit and reach test, vertical jump sit-reach
test by Jumpmeter (Takei) anaerobic power was calculated by the
Lewis formula. The data were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 for Windows
package program. Bivariate - Pearson Correlation test was used to
determine the relationship between strength, speed, flexibility,
agility, and anaerobic power. The results were interpreted as .05
significance level. We were found positive and significant
relationships between the back and leg force, between anaerobic
power and vertical jumping, between anaerobic power and back
force, between anaerobic power and leg strength, and between
flexibility and vertical jumping. And also, there was a negative and
significant relationship between flexibility and agility, between
speed and vertical jump, and between agility and vertical jump. In
this study, it was concluded that strength, vertical jump and
anaerobic power was related both each other and the other. For this
reason, we recommend that the trainings cover all motoric
characteristics.
