In this study, the effects of sports experiences (as year) and the
duration of training in a week on somatotype and body
composition of amateur basketball players were studied. For this
purpose, 13 female and 9 male basketball players aged 16-25
years were measured. The subjects were members of a basketball
club a private college in Ankara. The somatotypes of the subjects
were determined using Heath-Carter anthropometric techniques.
Percent body fat and fat free mass were estimated using Bale’s
body density formulae. The relations were tested by correlation
and regression analyses. These analyses showed that the sports
experiences had influenced mesomorphy component in only
female basketball players (P < 0.05). There were no relations
between somatotype components and training frequency in a
week in both sexes. There were a significant relation between
sports experience (year) and percent body fat and fat mass in
only male basketball players (P < 0.05). The duration of training
in a week has no effect on body fat and fat free mass. In
conclusion, the results indicate that there is a slight relationship
between sports experience and body constitution and composition
in amateur basketball players.
