Anthropometrie der schweizerischen Junioren- und Elite-Judonationalmannschaft – eine deskriptive Studie

Abstract

The anthropometric data and the results of the hand grip strength give information, which components Swiss judoka should improve. A judoka who does not match the ideal profile can still be successful with the help of other factors (technical, tactical, mental strength).

Anthropometric characteristic, somatotype, and body composition of Indian Female Combat Sport Athletes: A comparison between Boxers, Judokas, and Wrestlers

“…These values are in line with previous studies assessing the body composition of athletes from these sports (Reale et al, 2020;Casals et al, 2017;Pallares et al, 2012). However, some studies observed body fat % values to be ~8% higher for judokas (Smaruj et al, 2019;Spieser et al, 2012), and ~3% higher for wrestlers (Arawaka et al, 2020). There are several factors that may contribute to the observed variations in the fat percentage such as contextual (e.g., nutrition, menstrual cycle, training, ethnicity), inter-rater reliability of the assessors, and the weight category for competition.…”

“…Judo and wrestling athletes exhibit higher levels of mesomorphy than boxers, which may suggest that a more muscular build is advantageous in wrestling-oriented sports (Table 2, Figure 1, 2, 3, & 4). Previous researches have observed a greater predominance of the mesomorphic and endomorphic component over the ectomorphic component in Wrestling and Judo (Ramirez-Velez et al, 2014;Smaruj et al, 2019;Spieser et al, 2012). In contrast, Boxers show higher levels of ectomorphy, which could imply that a leaner physique may be more DOI: 10.34256/ijk23112 advantageous for boxing's emphasis on speed and agility, although this characteristic seems to depend on the weight category (Noh et al, 2014).…”

“…A similar study by Smaruj et al (2019) reported 23.6% of body fat and 4.2, 5.6 and 1.5 endomorph, mesomorph and endomorph, respectively, in female judokas. However, Casals et al (2017) observed less percentage of body fat (17 %) in Spanish female senior judokas, while Spieser et al (2012) found Swedish judokas to have 24.8 % of body fat and somatotypes of 2.2 of endomorph, 6.0 mesomorph and 2.2 of ectomorph. Regarding female wrestlers, Arakawa et al (2020) studied Japanese wrestlers and observed that they have a mean of 18.2 % body fat, while Pallarés et al (2012) analysed 35 female wrestlers and found a mean of 15.4 % of body fat.…”

“…Previous studies have reported on anthropometric characteristics and somatotype in wrestling (Ramirez-Velez et al, 2014;Sterkowicz-Przybycień et al, 2011), judo (Casals et al, 2017;Spieser et al, 2012) and boxing (Noh et al, 2014). However, most studies which have been published have focused on male athletes, with little research available on female counterparts.…”

Comparison of Somatotypes of Elite Taekwondo Athletes According to Weight Category

“…Yapılan çalışmalarda, farklı spor branşları ve sporcuların oyun içindeki pozisyonlarına göre somatotip özelliklerinin farklılık gösterdiği ortaya konulmuştur. 10,[31][32][33] Bu yüzden somatotip ve vücut kompozisyonu spor etkinliklerinin anlamlı bir ayırt edici özelliğidir. 9 Tipik tekvando sporcularının düşük-orta boy uzunluğuna, küçük vücut boyutuna, düşük vücut ağırlığına ve düşük yağ miktarına sahip oldukları belirtilmektedir.…”
