COMPARISON OF RELATIVE ARM STRENGTH OF ATHLETES WITH DIFFERENT SOMATOTYPE STRUCTURES

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the relative arm strength of athletes with different somatotype structures. The sample of the study consisted of 170 male students with balanced endomorphy (55 people) with an average age of 21,73±1,69 years, balanced mesomorphy (60 people) with an average age of 21,27±3,48 years and balanced ectomorphy (55 people) with an average age of 19,22±1,75 years. Statistical analysis of the data obtained from the athletes was performed in SPSS 29.0 package program. Frequency and descriptive analyses were used for descriptive statistics and Kruskal Wallis-H Test was used for comparison analyses. In conclusion, the best relative arm strength values were determined as balanced mesomorphy, balanced ectomorphy and balanced endomorphy, respectively, in this study in which the relative arm strength of athletes with different somatotype structures were compared. Considering the branch-specific body structure, the physical and physiological capacity and performance levels of the athletes with balanced mesomorphy component were higher than ectomorphy and endomorphy, which means that the muscle mass (hypertrophy) increased by strength training and accordingly increased strength value (pure strength) is not the actual strength value of the athlete, and since the healthiest way to determine the actual strength increase of the athlete is relative measurements, the use of relative arm strength method is especially important for grip strength, It is thought that the team will be very useful in the monitoring and evaluation of physically disabled athletes individually and in the correct evaluation of the development of arm strength with the increase in upper arm, lower arm and hand length of children in the developmental age.

FARKLI SOMATOTİP YAPILARDAKİ SPORCULARIN RELATİF KOL KUVVETLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı somatotip yapılardaki sporcuların relatif kol kuvvetlerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Araştırmanın örneklemi gönüllü katılım esasına göre çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden (Tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi) dengeli endomorf (55 kişi) yaş ortalamaları 21,73±1,69 yıl, dengeli mezomorf (60 kişi) 21,27±3,48 yıl ve dengeli ektomorf (55 kişi) 19,22±1,75 yıl olan toplam 170 erkek öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Sporculardan alınan verilerin istatistiksel analizleri SPSS 29.0 paket programında yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler için frekans ve tanımlayıcı analizler, karşılaştırma analizleri için Kruskal Wallis-H Testi yapıldı. Sonuç olarak, farklı somatotip yapılardaki sporcuların relatif kol kuvvetlerinin karşılaştırılmasının yapıldığı bu çalışmamızda en iyi relatif kol kuvveti değerleri sırasıyla; dengeli mezomorfi, dengeli ektomorfi ve dengeli endomorfi olarak tespit edilmiştir. Branşlara özgü vücut yapısı dikkate alındığında dengeli mezomorfi komponentine sahip olan sporcuların fiziksel ve fizyolojik kapasite ve performans düzeylerinin ektomorfi ve endomorfiye göre daha yüksek olmuş olması kuvvet antrenmanları ile artan kas kütlesi (hipertrofi) ve buna bağlı olarak artan kuvvet değerinin (salt kuvvet) sporcunun gerçek kuvvet değeri olmadığı ve sporcunun gerçek kuvvet artışını belirlemenin en sağlıklı yolunun relatif ölçümler olmasından dolayı relatif kol kuvveti yönteminin kullanılmasının özellikle kavrama kuvvetinin önemli olduğu bireysel, takım, bedensel engelli sporcuların bireysel olarak ve izlenmesi ve değerlendirilmesinde, gelişim çağındaki çocukların üst kol, alt kol ve el uzunluğunun artması ile beraber kol kuvvetinin gelişimlerinin doğru bir şekilde değerlendirilmesinde oldukça faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
