The study aims to determine the effect of a 8 week sprint and pliometric training out regularly on speed, jump and anaerobic power parameters among hearing impaired male athletes at the age of 18-21. Method: The measurement and tests of the study was carried out in 2018 and the article was written in 2019 in Samsun. 45 male volunteers with hearing impairment participated in this study. 15 of whom are sprint training (experimental) group aged 19.6±1,18; 15 of whom are pliometrik training (experimental) group aged 19.33 ±1,12 and 15 of whom are control group aged 19.87 ±1,19. The experiment groups was made to take sprint and pliometric training practices for 8 weeks, the content of which had been determined before hand while the participants attended their trainings in their local teams. Two assessments were carried out in specified parameters for three groups at the beginning and end of the study. In statistical analysis, the significance level was taken as α=0,05. One way analysis of variance was used to determine the differences between the groups. When the differences were found, Tukey test was used. Paired sample t-test for within group analysis. Findings: There are not any statistically difference in parameters of age, weight and training age of the participants (p>0.05). There is statistically significant difference in height parameter (p<0.05). 8 weeks of training, at the end of the results of participants data, there are significant differences among body weight, verticalle and horizontal jumping, 20 meters and 30 meters sprint (p<0,01); anaerobic power, sprint group (p<0.05), pliometric group (p<0,01) positive increase. There is significant difference found in anaerobic strength in control group (p<0,05). Conclusion: In conclusion, the results of the present study showed that both sprint and plyometric training for 8 weeks improve the sprint, jump and anaerobic power performance.

It is a very important criterion for the football referee to be on the field correctly during the whole match. In today's football, the running distances of the players during the competition approached the average of 12 km. In order to keep up with the extremely high tempo and make effective decisions by taking the right place on the pitch, the referees must constantly improve their speed and agility skills. Speed and quickness-agility skills are the main factors that affect the success of taking place in the football field. Considering all these, speed and agility-quickness tests have gained importance in the elite referee training in today's football. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of 94 provincial referees (5, 10, 20 and 30 m sprint speeds, Modified T-Test, Illinois and Arrowhead agility-quickness tests) with an average age of 24.33 ± 2.856 who regularly work in amateur leagues in Ankara. The results showed that Modified T-Test, Illinois and Arrowhead agility tests were highly correlated with 20 m (r = 0,171, r = 0,499, r = 0,413, P < 0,01) and 30 m (r = 0,254, r = 0,522, r = 0,391, P < 0,01) sprint tests. At the same time, short distance sprint performances were found to have low correlation with agility performances. The fact that explosive ability is also prominent in 5 and 10 m running performances may be the reason for this low correlation. The results show that 20 and 30 m sprint tests can be used for broader purposes in the analysis of speed and quickness-agility performances at the elite referee training and selection stages.
