Physical Performance Parameters of Korfball and Volleyball Athletes: A Cross-Sectional Study in Türkiye

Objective: This study aimed to compare the physical performance parameters of korfball and volleyball athletes in a university. Materials and Methods: A total of 26 korfball (n:9) and volleyball (n:17) athletes voluntarily participated in this study. Body composition, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, muscle strength and endurance, static and dynamic balance, flexibility and hand grip strength were measured. Results: The average age of the athletes participating in this study was 22.2±2.2, 21.4±5.26 years (korfball, volleyball, respectively). There was no significant difference between the demographic features and body composition parameters of korfball and volleyball athletes (p>0.05). Skinfold thickness in four regions of volleyball athletes was significantly lower than korfball athletes (p
