Abstract
This research aimed to study and compares effects of leg muscle flexibility training on the speed climbing performance of Thai youth elite athletes. The participants were 30 youth climbers from Assumption College Sriracha Chonburi who were selected after simple random sampling using the pairing method. The research instrument was a flexibility training program designed by the researcher. Statistical data analysis consisted of mean, standard deviation,
t-test, one-way repeated measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni test. The results showed that the mean values of leg muscle flexibility affecting the speed climbing performance of Thai youth elite athletes in the control group during pre-training and after the 4th and 8th weeks of training were not different. The experimental group before training, after the 4th week of training, and after the 8th week of training were significantly different. Therefore, the Bonferroni method was used for a pairwise comparison, Before training, after the 4th week, and after the 8th week of training at a significance level of .05. Before training and after the 8th week of training at a significance level of .05. and after the 4th week, and after the 8th week of training at a significance level of .05. The mean values of leg muscle flexibility affecting the speed climbing performance of Thai youth elite athletes in the two groups before the training were not different, while statistical differences were found after the 4th and after the 8th weeks of training at a significance level of .05.
