COMPARISON OF SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TURKISH ALPINE AND NORDIC SKI RACERS

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine and to compare physical and physiological characteristics of Turkish male alpine and nor die ski racers. 26 racers (13 alpine, 13 nor die) volunteered as subjects in this study. Mean age, height and body weight of racers were 20.92 ± 2.10 y ers, 175.69 ±3.90 cm and 67.15 ±6.59 kg for alpine racers, 22.23 ± 2.42 years, 174.23 ± 4.55 cm and 67.08 ± 7.01 kg for nor die racers. Standardized field and labratory tests such as resting heart rate, blood pressure, lung volumes, anaerobic power, max V02, dinamometric measurements, body composition etc. were used to determine the subjects' physical and physiological characteristics. Statistical analyses were done by using Mann Whitney U nonparametric t test SPSS for Windows program. At the end of the study although there were no significant differences in age, height, body weight, body fat %, vertical jump, blood presure, somatotype and lung functions between scores of alpine and nor die racers, there were significant differences in anaerobic power, leg strength, flexibility (P<0.01) and Max. V02 (P<0.05).
