Abstract

In the study it is aimed to assess the somatotypes and performance characteristics of The Turkey’s U15 Men’s National Basketball Team Players. 19 Turkish U15 National Male Basketballers ( mean age 15±1 mean height 191,63±8,14 cm, mean body weight 83,52±11,41 kg) participated in the study as volunteers. In our study were taken 11 anthropometric measurements such as, skinfold thickness, circumference and width measurements. Heath-Carter method was used to determine the somatotype characteristics of the basketball players. Of performance characteristics, standing long jump test, vertical jump test, 20 m. speed run test were applied. To determine the somatotypes of the players Heath-Carter method was used. The mean values and the standart deviations of the measurements taken were calculated. Correlation was made to determine whether there was a relationship between the somatotypes and the performances of the players. The statistical analyses of the measurements were calculated by using SPSS 13.0. The average score of the performance measurement results of The Turkey’s U15 Men’s National Basketball Team Players was recorded as follows: vertical jump 49,05±6,55 cm; standing long jump 210,63±15,04 cm; 20 m speed run test 3,32±,19 sec. The mean somatotype values of the players that participated were found as 3,0-4,1-3,6. As a result, we think that the data obtained through this study will be beneficial to the selection of basketball players and to the preparation of the training programmes and plans for certain player positions as well as determining the somatotypes and performance characteristics of The Turkey’s U19 Men’s National Basketball Team Players.

Türk Yıldız Milli Erkek Basketbol Takım Sporcularının Somatotip Yapılarının ve Performans Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Yıldız Milli Erkek Basketbol Takım sporcularının Somatotip yapılarının ve performans özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya; Yıldız Milli Erkek Basketbol Takım sporcularından yaş ortalaması 15 yıl, boy ortalaması 191,63±8,14 cm ve vücut ağırlık ortalaması 83,52±11,41 kg olan 19 sporcusu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Sporcuların Somatotip özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla Heath-Carter yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Alınan bütün ölçümlerin aritmetik ortalamaları, standart sapmaları hesaplanmıştır. Sporcuların somatotip yapıları ile performansları arasında ilişkinin olup olmadığını belirlemek için Correlate yapılmıştır. İstatistiki analiz için SPSS 13.0 istatistik paket program kullanılmıştır. Yıldız Milli Erkek Basketbol Takımı sporcularının performans ölçümlerinden dikey sıçrama ortalaması 49,05±6,55 cm, durarak uzun atlama ortalaması 210,63±15,04 cm, 20 m koşu ortalaması 3,32±,19 sn olarak bulunmuştur. Yıldız Milli Erkek Basketbol Takım sporcularının somatotip ortalama değerleri ise 3,0-4,1-3,6 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak Yıldız Milli Erkek Basketbol Takım sporcularının Somatotip yapılarını ve performans özelliklerini belirlemekle birlikte elde edilen verilerin basketbol oyuncularının seçiminde ve belirli oyuncu pozisyonlarına yönelik antrenman programlarının ve planlarının oluşturulmasında faydalı olacağı kanaatindeyiz.
