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.
