The
aim of this study is to examine some anthropometric and physical fitness
parameters of the students who are studying at the School of Physical Education
and Sports and who do not have any license with the students who are licensed
in different sports branches. The mean age of this study was 20,3 ± 0,76 for
females and 19,7 ± 0,78 for female, 22,0 ± 0,71 for male and 22,9 ± 0,78 for
female students. . The age, height and body weight of the athletes were
measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The athletes were given 20 m
speed, long jump, flexibility, flamingo balance and vertical jump test. After
the data were entered into SPSS program, paired t-test was used to determine
the differences between some anthropometric and physical fitness
characteristics of licensed and unlicensed students. While anthropometric
measurements showed a significant difference in height and body weight (p
<0.05; p <0.01), BMI was not significantly different between groups (p
<0.05). Physical fitness parameters of 20 m speed, stop long jump,
flexibility, flamingo balance, double arm push and vertical jump test results
of the licensed groups were not significantly different than the unlicensed (p
<0.05, p <0.01). As a result, some anthropometric and physical fitness
parameters of the athletes who are licensed in different sports branches are
determined. It can be argued that these differences are caused by the different
physical characteristics and training programs of the students.
