Comparison of Upper Extremities of Children Who Playing and Not Playing Basketball

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to compare the upper extremities of children who play and do not play basketball. In this study, measurements were taken in the upper extremities of a total of 200 secondary school students playing basketball and non-playing, with a mean age range of 11 ± 1.08 (did play sports) - 11 ± 0.8 (did not play sports).  The average height and weight ratio of the students who did and did not play sports were 153.5 ± 12.9 - 149.2 ± 8.1 cm and 46.7 ± 12.04 - 43.08 ± 12.9 kg respectively. In the right and left upper extremities of the students who play sports, arm length was 28.4 ± 3.1 - 28.4 ± 3.01, the forearm length was 24.1 ± 2.4 - 24.1 ± 2.4, hand length was 15.9 ± 1.8 to 15.9 ± 1.6, arm circumference was 23.2 ± 3.9 - 23.0 ± 3.8, the circumference of forearm was 20.8 ± 2.5 - 20.6 ± 2.5, hand width was 7.8 ± 0.8 to 7.9 ± 0.8.

The results of the biacromial width and bideltoid width measurements were 25.5 ± 3.13 and 39.2 ± 4.7, respectively. In the right and left upper extremities of students who did not do sports, arm length was 26.8 ± 2.5 - 26.6 ± 2.4, forearm length was 23.3 ± 2.1 - 23.3 ± 2.0, hand length was 16.0 ± 1.5 - 16.2 ± 1.5, arm circumference was 22.4 ± 3.5 to 22.4 ± 3.5, circumference of forearm was19.4 ± 2.5 - 19.4 ± 2.5, hand width was 7.6 ± 0.9 - 7.7 ± 0.9.

The results of the biacromial and bideltoid width measurements were 28.8 ± 3.8 and 37.6 ± 4.4, respectively. As a result of the evaluation made, there was a difference between arm circumference measurements (p = 0.02) when the measurements taken from the right and left extremities of the students who did sports and did not do sports were compared. It was observed that the difference between right - left arm length (p = 0.001) and right - left hand length (p = 0.02) was significant in the students who did not do sports. Playing basketball increases the arm circumference and forearm circumference in children.
