AMERİKAN FUTBOL OYUNCULARININ SOMATOTİPLERİ

Year 2005, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 35 - 44, 01.01.2005

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın
amacı elit Amerikan futbol oyuncularının somatotip özelliklerini değerlendirmekti.
Heath-Carter antropometrik somatotip metod yaşlarının ortalaması 20.96±1.35 yıl
olan 28 asil oyuncuya (15 geride ve 13 çizgide oynayanlar) uygulandı. Oyuncular
için somatotiplerin çoğu mezomorfta (X=7.39) dominanttı. Yüksek mezomorfik
komponent Amerikan futbol oyuncularında vücut kompozisyonunun belirlenmesinde
önemli bir faktördür.

SOMATOTYPES OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL PLAYERS

Year 2005, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 35 - 44, 01.01.2005

Abstract

The
purpose of this study was to assess the somatotype characteristics of elite
American Football Players. The Heath/Carter anthropometric somatotype method
was applied to 28 basis players (15 backs and 13 linemens) aged 20.96±1.35 yrs
of age. Most of somatotypes were dominant mesomorphs (X= 7.39) for the players.
A higher mesomorphic component was a more important factor determining body
composition in the American football players.
