Abstract :Weightlifters produce strength and power in the vertical plane, while canoeists produce strength and power in the horizontal plane. The purpose of the study is to examine the difference between isometric strength and ballistic force of athletes in weightlifting and canoeing, at which strength and power production occurs in different planes. 84 athletes aged 14-21 were included in the study. Demographic information of the athletes was taken on a working day and a standard warm-up protocol was applied. Dynamic Strength Index (DSI) was calculated to evaluate the ballistic force. Data for DSI were obtained by Opto-Jump device with counter-movement jump (CMJ) test and Isometric Mid-Thigh Test (IMTP). The IMTP test was performed with the Kistler+Noraxon Measurement Device to evaluate isometric strength. According to the findings of the study, the ballistic force, jump height and DSI values of male weightlifters had higher values than male canoe athletes (p 0.05). While the jump height and DSI values of female weightlifters were higher than female canoe athletes (p<0.05), there was no significant difference between isometric and ballistic strengths. As a result, weightlifters, who produce power in the vertical direction, reveal their strength more clearly in their jumping abilities.Keywords : Dinamik kuvvet indeksi, Güç, Sıçrama, Sporcu
