Comparison Of Physical And Physiological Parameters Of Children Skier And Volleyball Players

Abstract

This study purpose; to compare the athletic performance of the physical and physiological characteristics of the children who are in the age of 10-15 years and who have regular skiing, with the same characteristics of the children of the same age group and who have played volleyball for one year.Work group; ages 10-15 between changing and over a year volleyball playing 24 girls with same age group the and regular ski sport who 15 girl child volunteer participation with created.Methods; volunteers participating in research lengths naked standing with height measuring instrument and body weights were measured with the weighbridge (Premier). Body oil the percentage determination for; measurements were taken from 6 regions with skinfold caliper (Holtain LTD. Crymych U.K.) and body fat percentages were calculated according to Lange formula. Right-left hand gripping forces hand dynamometer (Takei Hand Grip) and FVC, VC, MW values ​​were measured using spirometer (Cosmed, Pony Spirometer Graphic). Measurements of arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressures from the left arm of all volunteers were taken with the blood pressure monitor (Microfile BP-3AS1-2) and recorded in mmHg. Oxymeter saturation of the volunteers was measured using the Oximeter (NBP-40 Handheld). Resting and post-exercise heart rate, flexibility, speed, agility, long jump, endurance were evaluated by appropriate measurement methods. All data obtained from the measurements were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U test. Significance levels of the difference between the groups were taken as 0.05.Findings; the body fat percentage (%) and exercise pulse of the athletes who played volleyball were higher than the skiers (p = 0.002). Long jump (anaerobic power), endurance (aerobic power) were found skiers kids higher than volleyball players (p = 0.002, p = 0.029) and flexibility was higher in children playing volleyball (p = 0, 012). No difference was found between the two groups in terms of speed, agility, right/left hand claw strength (p> 0. 05). There was no difference between lung function of the athletes who played volleyball and skiing (p> 0. 05).As a result of the special training methods and programs of skiing and volleyball branches while the strength and flexibility characteristics of the volleyball players were improved, it was observed that the strength and durability properties of the skiers were better
