Comparison of the Effects of 10 Weeks of Fitness and Kettlebell Workouts on Some Physical Parameters of Sedentary Individuals

In this study, it is aimed to scientifically reveal the changes that may occur in sedentary individuals with fitness and kettlebell training for 10 weeks and to compare these two different training practices. The research group of the study consists of sedentary individuals residing in Bayburt province. The participants included in the study first had anthropometric measurements (height, body weight, skinfold thickness, circumference measurements), diameter measurements, digital back-leg dynamometer measurement, vertical jump performance measurement, maximal 1 repetition "squat" performance measurement, and maximal 1 repetition "deadlift" performance measurement. The participants were randomly divided into two groups and included in the kettlebell and fitness training groups. As a result of the fitness training performed regularly for 10 weeks, it was observed that there were statistically significant differences between the pretest-posttest scores of the participants in shoulder diameter, chest diameter, arm diameter, squat, deadlift, sled, countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ). As a result of the kettlebell training performed regularly for 10 weeks, it was observed that there were statistically significant differences between the pretest-posttest scores of the participants in shoulder diameter, thigh diameter, squat, deadlift, sled, CMJ, SJ and back-leg strength. As a result, it can be said that fitness and kettlebell training are effective training types on the change of physical parameters of sedentary individuals.
