Purpose: to find out the features of hip girth (distal) of both limbs of young boys and young girls of Bukovynian higher educational institutions, depending on the sport type. Materials and methods: 115 students of Bukovynian higher education institutions aged from 16 to 21 years old participated in the study, 78 (67.82%) of them were young boys and 37 (32.18%) were young girls. The main group was 75 (65.22 %) students of the I-II courses of the Faculty of Physical Culture and Human Health (the Yuriy Fedkovich Chernivtsi National University), the control group - 40 (34.78%) college students and students of the Stomatological Faculty of the Bukovynian State Medical University, who underwent an anthropometric study, according to the method of V.V. Bunaka in the modification of P.P. Shaparenko (determination of body weight and hip girth distally). Results: a comparison of the length of the distal right and left hip girth of young boys and young girls of both groups shows that the length of the right hip girth of young boys and young girls is bigger than the left: the main group (right in young boys - 48.50±2.0 cm, left - 42.25 ±2.0 cm; right in young girls – 48.59±2.0 cm; left – 41.74±2.0 cm), control group (right in young boys – 49.19±2.0 cm, left – 44 ,42±2.0 cm; young girls' right - 46.57±2.0 cm; left - 41.52±2.0 cm). The conducted regression analysis shows that gender and weight are significant factors for hip girth distally on the right and left. Conclusions: the model for predicting the circumference of the distal right thigh has the equation: y = β1+β2 +0.318*x, where y is the distal right thigh circumference, x is weight. Coefficient β1 = 29.848 for young girls and β2 = 25.95 for young boys. The coefficient of determination is 0.994. On the left, it has the equation: y = β1+β2 +0.292*x, where y is the hip girth on the distal left, x is weight. Coefficient β1 = 29.848 for women and β2 = 21.901 for men. The coefficient of determination is 0.991.

“…Reference values for anthropometric measurements in athletes of varying sports have been reported however interpretation and generalisation of the results for some sports may have been limited due to anthropometric variables reported for only one participant in some cases (Garrido-Chamorro, Sirvent-Belando, Gonzalez-Lorenzo, Blasco-Lafarga, and Roche, 2012;Santos, Dawson, Matias, Rocha, Minderico, Allison et al, 2014). More recently, there is evidence available on anthropometric profiles in open water swimming (Shaw and Mukija, 2018), Olympic race walkers (Gomez-Ezeiza, Torres-Unda, Granados, and Santos-Concejero, 2019), elite young male runners (Sanchez-Munoz, Muros, Belmonte and Zabala, 2020), Olympic mountain bikers (Sanchez-Munoz, Muros, and Zabala, 2018) and professional male basketball players (Gryko, Kopiczko, Mikolajec, Stasny and Musalek, 2018). There is a need for further sport-specific anthropometric profiles, assessed in a standardised manner and reported in line with guidelines (Aragon et al, 2017;Stewart, Marfell-Jones, Olds and de Ridder, 2011) to allow optimal monitoring and interpretation of anthropometric characteristics in athletes.…”

Quantifying body composition is central to monitoring performance and training in athletes, however limited sportspecific anthropometric reference data, assessed and reported in a standardised manner, is available. This study provides anthropometric profiles in elite male athletes from different sports. Elite male athletes (n = 73) from National squads of boxing (n = 10), cricket (n = 21), swimming (n = 23), hockey (n = 10) and eventing (n = 9) were assessed for body mass, height, eight skinfolds (triceps, subscapular, biceps, iliac crest, supraspinal, abdominal, thigh and medial calf), body circumferences (arm, waist, hip, thigh and calf) and muscle circumferences (arm, thigh, calf) using ISAK standardised guidelines. For all athletes, large variability exists for measures of skinfold thickness at each skinfold site. Swimming (64.6 ± 16.1 mm) and boxing (63.5 ± 16.1 mm) were similar for the sum of eight skinfolds (∑8SKF) but swimming had lower ∑8SKF compared to cricket (86.1 ± 21.3 mm; p = .011) and eventing (89.9 ± 30.7 mm; p = .028). Hockey (81.9 ± 26.3 mm) and eventing had the most varied ∑8SKF. Thigh body (p=.006) and muscle circumferences (p = .005) were significantly reduced in boxing compared to hockey. No differences were seen between sports for arm (p = .346; ES = .06) and calf (p = .382; ES = .06) muscle circumferences. The anthropometric profiles for elite athletes from various sports during pre-season training will be a useful resource for sports professionals when monitoring and interpreting body composition data. Large variation exists in anthropometric profiles between the different athletes and different sports, highlighting the necessity to have sport-specific normative ranges available to allow optimal monitoring of individual athletes particularly varying across sports as well as age, training status and position.

The purpose of the study is to determine the length of the thighs of students of higher educational institutions of Bukovyna depending on the kind of sport, followed by building a forecasting model. Materials and methods. The research was conducted on young men and women of higher educational institutions of Bukovyna aged 16 to 21 years. Of these, 83 (64.4%) were boys and 46 (35.6%) were girls. All respondents are divided into two groups: the main group – 89 (69%) and control – 40 (31%) students. Students of the main group were engaged in the following sports: football – 40 (44.9%) students, volleyball – 18 (20.3%), tennis – 10 (11.2%), fitness – 9 (10.1%), basketball – 7 (7.9%), freestyle wrestling – 5 (5.6%). All students were subjected to anthropometric research, according to the method of V. V. Bunak in the modification of P. P. Shaparenko. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using a licensed program RStudio. Results. The data obtained show that the difference in the length of the right thigh of boys and girls of the main group on average is not very noticeable. Welch's t-test shows that the difference is significant: t (36.724) = - 2.120, p = 0.041 <0.05. In the control group, there is an average significant difference in the length of the right thigh of boys and girls. This is also evidenced by the Welch’s t-test: t (36.501) = - 2.183, p = 0.036 <0.05. The result of the distribution of the length of the left thigh of the respondents of the main group by gender shows that on average there is a significant difference in the length of the left thigh of boys and girls. Welch's t-test shows the significance of the difference: t (35.822) = - 2.146, p = 0.039 <0.05. When distributing the length of the left thigh of the respondents in the gender control group, it seems that on average there is a significant difference in the length of the left thigh of boys and girls. This is also evidenced by the Welch’s t-test: t (27.596) = - 2.141, p = 0.041 <0.05. Conclusion. By comparing the length of the thighs of the studied students of the main group, depending on the sport, it shows that students who play volleyball have the longest thigh length: right – 55.00 ± 2.0 cm, left – 55.53 ± 2.0 cm; and in football – right thigh is 53.97 ± 2.0 cm, left – 53.92 ± 2.0 cm), slightly shorter thighs are of those who fight: right – 53.40 ± 2.0 cm, left – 53.47 ± 2.0 cm and tennis: right – 53.60 ± 2.0 cm, left – 53.50 ± 2.0 cm; then basketball players: right – 52.85 ± 2.0 cm, left – 52.63 ± 2.0 cm, and the shortest length of the thigh are of students engaged in fitness: right – 51.11 ± 2.0 cm, left – 51.30 ± 2.0 cm). An important factor for thigh length is height (based on regression analysis). Model for predicting the length of the right thigh is y = 0.239 * x, where y is the length of the right thigh, x is the height. The coefficient of determination is 0.996. Model for predicting the length of the left thigh is y = 0.309 * x, where y is the length of the left thigh, x is the height. The coefficient of determination is 0.991
