Spor Yapan ve Yapmayan ve Yapmayan Erkek Öğrencilerde Vücut Yağ Yyüzdesi*

Abstract

The knowledge of a person's body fat percentage is important in evaluating his body composition as well as directing him to one type of sports activity or another and determining his performance. High body fat percentage is a risk factor for many diseases as coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus. Although body fat percentage can be measured almost correctly by the help of hydrostatic weight and skinfold thickness, recently a new method has been introduced to estimate it easily and rapidly by the spectrophotometric measurement of near - infrared interactance in skin. In this study, measurements of height and weight of 25 students who did not deal with sports (X : 20.0 years old) and 22 students who dealth with sports (X : 21.1 years old) were recorded and body fat percentage measurements were determined byFutrex 5009 apparatus spectrophotometrically. The average height of students making sports was 2 cm longer (X :1791 cm) while the average weight of them was 52 kg (X : 71.8 kg) more than those of the students not making sports. In the group of athleles, body fat percentage was less than the other group measurements in a ratio of 7.7 %. The decrease in body fat percentage (p<0.001) was statistically significant. Since there was a decrease in the body fat percentage of athletes, the excess in their mean weights can be tied up to the increase in their muscle mass. The data of the other researches about this subject were found to support our results.
