“…Researches of body structure are very important in the relation to the general population as well as population of different level competitive athletes and different sport branches (Janssen et al, 2000;Andreaoli et al, 2001;Dopsaj et al, 2010;Sillanpää et al;Sánchez-Puccini et al). Related to the general population the phenomenon of body structure is studied to research the connection with non-infectious diseases, i.e health status, as well as in relation to the measuring methods and body structure modeling with different races (Wang et al, 1994;Janssen et al;Sillanpää et al), while with population of athlete research is aimed at the phenomenon of body structure adaptation on training Int.…”

Int. J. Morphol., 35(1):199-207, 2017. SUMMARY:In order to achieve high results in sports, it is necessary to provide an adequate status of an athlete in according to various factors, among which the body structure is one of greater importance. The aim of this research is to define the most discriminated indicators of body structure indexes, thanks to which a specific change of physical structure can be observed according to a branch of sport and type of combat sport. Variables in the research were: body height, body mass, body mass index, free fat mass index, fat mass index, protein mass index, skeletal muscle mass index, percent of body fat, percent of skeletal muscle mass and protein fat index. The measuring of the body composition is realized by using multichannel segmental bioimpedance with InBody 720 apparatus, applied on the total of 112 male high level senior-age athlete members of different national team's member of Republic of Serbia (62 judokas, 29 Greco-Roman style wrestlers and 21 karatekas). The discriminative analysis has shown that subsamples of the athletes statistically differ in morphology on Wilks' lambda level (0.435, p = 0.000), and that following variables have the highest discrimination compared to athlete respondents in sport function: percent of skeletal mass (0.34), percent of body fat (0.28) and protein fat index (0.26), as the first isolated factor (p = 0.000) by which is explained 86.3 %, that is body weight (0.74), skeletal muscle index (0.73), protein mass index (0.72), body mass index (0.72) and free fat mass index (0.70), as the second factor (p = 0.030) by which 13.7 % variability of measured body structure space is explained. By establishing body structure models of judokas, wrestlers and karatekas for variables examined and by using modern technological method of measuring (InBody 720, 2008) we got new information that characterize specificity of the sport, which all contribute to spreading and improving already existing knowledge in the sports sciences and sport body morphology area.

“…A su vez, las AD mujeres de esgrima obtuvieron una clasificación de endomesomorfas balanceadas (5,1 -4,6 -1,6), similar a la reportada por Rodríguez et al, para esgrimistas chilenas élite que alcanzaron un somatotipo endomesomorfo balanceado (3,9 -3,4 -2,4). karate, su clasificación somatotípica se situó en mesoendomorfos (2,9 -5,8 -2,4), situación algo distinta a la reportada por Sánchez-Puccini et al (2014), quienes evaluaron a karatekas élite de Colombia, encontrando un categorización promedio de mesoendomorfos balanceados (4,0 -4,2 -2,1). Por su parte, las AD mujeres de karate, alcanzaron un somatotipo de endomesomorfas balanceadas (4,3 -4,1 -2,2), clasificación distinta a la encontrada por Lentini et al, en karatekas mujeres adultas élite que se ubicaron como mesoendomorfas balanceadas (3,7 -3,9 -2).…”

RESUMEN: La alta tasa de sedentarismo y obesidad reportada en Chile, ha propiciado la aparición de diversos programas deportivos para niños y adolescentes, que requieren evaluaciones fiables en torno a las características antropométricas por disciplina Deportiva. En este sentido, la presente investigación pretende por objetivo determinar las características antropométricas de adolescentes pertenecientes a distintas escuelas deportivas formativas (AD) de Temuco, Chile y su relación con parámetros deportivos ideales. El tipo de investigación contempla un diseño no experimental, descriptivo, transversal, con un enfoque cuantitativo. La muestra estuvo constituida por 65 sujetos (38 mujeres) con un promedio de edad de 15,9 (2,5) años y un IMC de 22,8 (4) kg/m 2 , quienes practicaban taekwondo (n= 4), racquetbol (n= 6), esgrima (n= 7), karate (n= 8), atletismo (n= 13), tenis (n= 6) y fútbol (n= 21). Los resultados indican que las AD mujeres promediaron un somatotipo de 4,9 -4,3 -1,5 (clasificadas como endomesomorfas), masa adiposa de 33,6% y masa muscular de 39,7%, mientras los AD varones para las mismas variables ostentan 3 -4,9 -2,3 (mesoendomorfos), 27,4% y 43,7%. En conclusión, los AD evaluados ostentan normopeso, su composición corporal exhibe una elevada masa adiposa incluso para parámetros normales, mientras que su somatotipo parece acercarse a los ideales deportivos, sin evidenciar una tendencia por disciplina deportiva. Se sugiere para futuras investigaciones estudiar otras variables, como los programas de entrenamiento, el rendimiento deportivo y los hábitos alimentarios, con la intención de obtener respuestas más satisfactorias respecto a los factores que influyen en la proyección de adolescentes al deporte competitivo.

“…Numerous studies have evaluated relative output results instead of absolute outputs for talent identification and/or selection (Sánchez-Puccini et al, 2014;Isik et al, 2015). Because the use of relative outputs plays a more important role in determining individual differences.…”

A new approach to Special Judo Fitness Test index: Relative index

2017

Although judo and wrestling have different rules, these branches are two different Olympic sports branches, partly based on similar basic techniques. For example; the technique called "Ippon-SeoiNage" (one shoulder throw) in judo is mechanically the same as the technique called "Arm Throw" in wrestling. The aim of this study was to gain relative special judo fitness test (SJFT) index with a new approach to the SJFT index used in the literature. The maximum number of "arm throw" is required from wrestlers during the tests. The test consists of 3 sets. The sets are 15 sec, 30 sec, and 30 sec, respectively, and rest between the sets is 10 seconds. The heart rate of the wrestlers has recorded at the end of each set of the test and 1 minute after. The wrestlers were classified as the elite and sub-elite group and also as weight classification. Statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test. There is no statistical difference between elite and sub-elite female wrestlers according to heart rate, the number of "arm throw", SJFT index, and relative SJFT index. On the other hand, there is a statistical difference in relative SJFT index according to weight classifications. Accordingly, lightweight wrestlers have highest relative SJFT index than the other groups. As a result of this study, there was no difference in the weight categories of the wrestlers according to the SJFT index, whereas there was a difference in the weight categories of the wrestlers according to the relative SJFT index. The use of the relative SJFT index to determine the difference between the weight categories will provide more accurate results for performance evaluation.
