Investigation of the Relationships between Selected Anthropometric Characteristics, Anaerobic Power and Leg Strength in Child Windsurfing Athletes
Abstract
Aim: Windsurfing is a sportive, adventure activity that can be done by individuals of all ages after a training process. This study was conducted to determine the relationships between selected anthropometric characteristics, leg strength and anaerobic power in windsurfing athletes aged 10-15 years.
Material and Methods: A total of 18 athletes from Marmara Sailing Club (age: 12.83 ±2.20 years, height: 151.50 ±13.24 cm, body weight: 45.94 ±11.48 kg, body mass index: 20.25 ±3.00 kg/m²) participated voluntarily. Participating athletes were selected from those who have been actively surfing for at least 1 year. Some anthropometric (height, body weight, body mass index, leg length, sitting height) and motoric (leg strength, vertical jump, anaerobic power) tests were performed. The data were analyzed by Spearman Correlation analysis.
Results: As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there were highly statistically significant between height and anaerobic power, sitting height and leg length, highly significant relationships between body weight and anaerobic power, leg length, sitting height and body mass index, highly significant relationships between anaerobic power and sitting height, age and leg length, moderately significant relationships between sitting height and age and moderately significant relationships between leg strength and anaerobic power.
Conclusion: It can be said that anaerobic power can be positively affected if athletes are selected by paying attention to anthropometric characteristics. Coaches in the windsurfing branch are recommended to make athlete selection and training plans by considering these results.
