Somatic structure and the sport level pf Polish seniors national team competitors in pole jumping

Abstract

The task of this work was to formulate the properties of the body structure of the Poles representatives in the pole vault. The analysis covered 5 athletes of the Polish national team representing other sports clubs. Anthropometric measurements were made on them unanimously with the standard rules. An anthropometer, a large and a small bow caliper and a metric tape were used. Twenty-five parameters were measured, and the indicators were calculated on their basis, which define the universal structure of the human body. The importance of these features was schematized and on their basis a body profile of pole vaulters was created. Distance from the zero line communicated about disproportions in body build between the control team and the group the reference created by students from the Lodz University of Technology. The greatest importance The statistics showed: the length of the upper limb, the height of the human body, the width of the shoulders and the circumference of the arm and forearm. The method of Perkal (1953) transformed by Micelerowa (1956) was a success. They distinguished the length, thickness and degreasing factors. The length element became the most representative for athletes, the body fat factor continued, and the fat factor became negative value. The central building code for the athletes was agreed. With the help of correlation, the relationship between the somatic structure was analysed athletes who practice pole vault, and their sports stage. The study showed that most of the features correlate with sports performance.
