Abstract

The aim of this study was primarily to investigate the anthropometric parameters and body composition in handball, basketball, badminton, volleyball and underwater rugby players who are
students in physical education and sports department in Turkey. 49 female and 51 male athletes participated to this study. The skinfolds of rear thigh in female players are significantly (p<0,05) higher than those of other female and male skinfold values. Although estimated percentage body fat and body fat weight values in female athletes were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of male athletes, fat free body mass in male athletes was significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of female athletes. According to our results, athletes who have taken part in this study are considered as they are appropriate for the sports they are exercising. The results have also shown that ability selection has been applied successfully by Physical Education and Sports Department in Turkey. Similar selections should strongly be recommended for secondary school students, particularly for adolescents, in Turkey.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın öncelikli amacı Türkiye’de Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Bölümlerinde kayıtlı olan hentbol, basketbol, badminton, voleybol ve sualtı ragbisi oyuncularının anthropometrik ve vücut parametrelerinin incelenmesidir. 49 bayan ve 51 erkek sporcu bu çalışmaya katılmıştır. Tahmini vücut yağ yüzdesi ve vücut yağ ağırlık değerleri bayanlarda erkeklere kıyasla daha yüksek saptanmış olsa da (p<0.05), erkeklerde yağ dışı vücut ağırlığı bayanlara kıyasla daha yüksek (p<0.05) olarak ölçülmüştür. Sonuçlarımıza gore, çalışmamıza katılan sporcuların yaptıkları spor tipine uygun vücut yapılarında olduğu düşünülmektedir. Sonuçlar ayrıca Beden Eğitimi ve spor Bölümlerinde öğrenci seçmelerinin başarılı olduğu sonucunu ortaya koymaktadır.
Benzer sporcu seçimlerinin ilköğretim basamağında da, özellikle adolesan çağ çocukları için uygulanması gerekliliği önerilmektedir.
