Abstract

Morphological structure and anthropometric values are the most important factors affecting sporting performance and success. Alongside these elements, the relationship between basic motoric characteristics and sporting success should also not be underestimated, and strength is regarded as a precondition for numerous branches of sport. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of the kinanthropometric profile on leg strength and hand grip strength in young female swimmers in order to evaluate the relationship between physical structure and strength.
The swimmers whose anthropometric measurements were obtained were all licensed athletes in our region. The athletes in the study were aged 9-14 years, and measurements were performed in the pool in the presence of their coaches before morning training. After athletes’ height and weight had been measured, a total of 24 anthropometric measurements were performed on all participants, including circumference, diameter, width, and length values, using an anthropometric set. Athletes’ hand grip and leg strength were then measured using hand and foot dynamometry. Data compatibility with normal distribution was assessed using theKolmogorov-Smirnov test (p>0.05).
Levels of relationships between measurement values were determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The research findings were expressed as mean plus standard deviation. Analysis revealed positive correlation between all anthropometric measurements and hand grip strength and leg strength.

Genç Kadın Yüzücülerde Kinantropometrik Profilin Bacak Kuvveti ve El Kavrama Kuvveti Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Morfolojik yapı ve antropometrik değerler sportif performansı ve başarıyı etkileyen önemli parametrelerdir. Bu öğeler ile birlikte temel motorik özelliklerin sportif başarı ile olan ilişkisi göz ardı edilemeyeceği gibi bir çok branş açısından kuvvet özelliği ön şart olarak kabul edilmektedir. Fiziksel yapı ve kuvvet arasındaki korelasyonu değerlendirmek amacıyla çalışmamızda genç kadın yüzücülerde kinantropometrik profilin bacak kuvveti ve el kavrama kuvveti üzerine etkisini incelemeyi hedefledik.
Antropometrik ölçümlerini aldığımız yüzücüler bölgemizde bulunan lisanslı sporculardır. Çalışmaya katılan sporcular 9-14 yaş aralığında olup ölçümler antrenman saatinden önce havuzda antrenörlerin nezaretinde gerçekleştirildi. Sporcuların Boy, kilo, ağırlık ölçümleri alındıktan sonra antropometrik set ile çevre, çap, genişlik ve uzunluk ölçümleri olmak üzere her sporcudan toplam yirmi dört antropometrik ölçüm alındı daha sonra el ve ayak dinamometresi kullanılarak sporcuların el kavrama ve bacak kuvveti ölçüldü. Veriler öncelikle Kolmogrov-Smirnow testi ile normallik varsayımı kontrol edildi (P>0.05).
Ölçüm değerleri arası ilişki düzeyleri Pearson korelasyon katsayısı ile belirlendi. Araştırma bulguların, ortalama, standart sapma olarak verildi. Analizlerin sonucunda tüm antropometrik verilerin el pençe kuvveti ve bacak kuvveti ile aralarında pozitif korelasyon tespit edildi.
