Statistical Analysis for Various Parameters of an International Functional Training Competition in Turkey
Abstract
Method: The competition consisted of six stages and includes eight categories created according to the level of the athletes. For the study, a questionnaire containing this information was applied to the competitors (n = 184; 133 men, 51 women) and the data obtained were statistically compared with the scores at the end of the competition.
Results: The findings of this study showed that age, height, body weight, exercise duration, and athlete history parameters affected the results of the functional training competition. In particular, it was observed that the height factor significantly affected the results of the competition, and the tall athletes scored better in most categories (p < 0.05). In addition, it was observed that age and body weight parameters created significant differences in some categories and some stages. It has been determined that the competitors with more than 10,000 daily steps were more unsuccessful in the total ranking. The daily exercise time of the athletes who were successful in the competition was 75-90 minutes. It has been noted that they did Crossfit training 5 days a week and that all finalist athletes were also interested in sports branches other than Crossfit.
Conclusion: The findings of this research can provide enlightening information about the parameters that should be taken into account by the organizers of Crossfit competitions during the preparation phase of the competition content and the athletes during the preparation phase for these competitions.
