THE COMPARISON OF PHYSICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FEMALE ATHLETES IN DIFFERENT BRANCHES
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the physical and physiological characteristics ofsportwomen involved in different kinds of sports and thereby to contribute to their training programmes. 62 university amateur sportwomen participated voluntary in this study. The subjects were grouped according to the branch of sports (handball, basketball, voleyball and athletics) and the results of the pulmonary function, flexibility and power tests and biacromial, biiliac diameters were evaluated. Of the respiratory parameters, vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVrf, peak expiratory flow in forced expiration (PEF) and peak inspiratory flow in forced inspiration (PIF) were similar among the four groups (P>0.05). FEV/ FVC, mid forced expiratory flow rate (FEF 25_75) and flow rates of %25, %50 and %75 of vital capacity were higher among the voleyball players FEVJ FVC values, were higher than those of athlets and basketball players, while FEF 25.75 values were higher than the handball players (P= 0.045) Vmax25 and VmaxS0 were higher than the basketball players and others and Vmax75 values were higher than the basketball players. The biacromial and biiliac diameters of the athletes and biacromial diameters of the handball players were less than those of basketball and voleyball players.
