“…Dietary intake of Greek national swimming (n = 31) and water polo athletes (n = 27) was reported using a 24-hr dietary recall assessment and food-frequency questionnaire (Farajian et al, 2004). No differences were reported in energy or macronutrient intake between athletes involved in the different aquatic sports; however, male aquatic athletes reported consuming more energy, carbohydrates, protein, and fat than female aquatic athletes (Farajian et al, 2004). Reported daily energy intake for male and female aquatic sport athletes were 14.3 and 8.5 MJ · day-1, respectively.…”

“…Alcohol intake of team sport athletes appears higher than that of other athlete groups (Burke et al, 1991;van Erp-Baart et al, 1989), although contemporary dietary surveys are lacking to verify these earlier reports. Furthermore, assessed against the recommendations of the Mediterranean diet pyramid, Greek male aquatic athletes failed to consume the recommended amounts of vegetables, and approximately half the athletes consuming less than the recommended amounts of fruit (Farajian et al, 2004). These issues are noteworthy for sports nutrition professionals consulting with water polo athletes and highlight the need for a thorough dietary review when initially engaged with a team.…”

Water polo is an aquatic team sport that requires endurance, strength, power, swimming speed, agility, tactical awareness, and specific technical skills, including ball control. Unlike other team sports, few researchers have examined the nutritional habits of water polo athletes or potential dietary strategies that improve performance in water polo match play. Water polo players are typically well muscled, taller athletes; female players display higher levels of adiposity compared with their male counterparts. Positional differences exist: Center players are heavier and have higher body fat levels compared with perimeter players. Knowledge of the physical differences that exist among water polo players offers the advantage of player identification as well as individualizing nutrition strategies to optimize desired physique goals. Individual dietary counseling is warranted to ensure dietary adequacy, and in cases of physique manipulation. Performance in games and during quality workouts is likely to improve by adopting strategies that promote high carbohydrate availability, although research specific to water polo is lacking. A planned approach incorporating strategies to facilitate muscle glycogen refueling and muscle protein synthesis should be implemented following intensified training sessions and matches, particularly when short recovery times are scheduled. Although sweat losses of water polo players are less than what is reported for land-based athletes, specific knowledge allows for appropriate planning of carbohydrate intake strategies for match play and training. Postgame strategies to manage alcohol intake should be developed with input from the senior player group to minimize the negative consequences on recovery and player welfare.

“…Furthermore, the players need to do the eggbeater kick very quickly and powerfully in order to bring up their body out of the water [30,31]. Furthermore, a higher chest girth is an indication of a stronger scapula which is important in playing water polo as water polo players need to have stronger upper bodies in order to shoot, swim and get engaged with the other players [32].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to compare the anthropometric parameters between Iranian and Spanish water polo national team players.Material and Methods -The research was conducted in the physiological laboratory of Isfahan Azad University. Participants who participate in this study were 44 male national water polo players (22 Iranian and 22 Spanish), age 22±2 years old (Mean±SD). For the aim of this study twenty anthropometric parameters that was more important for water polo was measured and analysis. All the parameters were measured base on the international standard of anthropometric parameters (International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry -ISAK). For analysis data, normal distribution of the data was proved by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and then comparison between two groups was done by t-test. Results -The results showed a significant difference in seven anthropometric parameters contain body fat percentage (P=0.031), biliocristal breadth (P<0.001), wrist breadth (P<0.001), chest girth (P=0.021), mid-thigh girth (P=0.019), palm length (P<0.001) and height (P=0.032). Conclusion -Spanish players with relatively higher underlying levels of anthropometric parameters compare to Iranian water polo players had stronger ability to control the ball with the bigger palm and bigger wrist breadth, also they had stronger ability to do water vertical jump, cause of higher value of biliocristal breadth and mid-thigh girth and also stronger throwing the ball because of bigger muscle on their chest part of their body. However, Base on this study, having longer hands, more muscular body than fat and taller stature is an advantage for the players because it is considered to be a useful parameter in water polo.Keywords: anthropometry, national player, water polo.

E-mail: pooya.nekooei@gmail.com IntroductionThe phenomenon of gradual and continuous evolution of human being is highly subject to various vicissitudes during life. Specific capabilities and limitations are inherent in each period of evolution and each period has its own specific demands [1]. Knowledge of human growth and development in addition to physical and physiology differences of the human body help us better understand these periods and learn how to improve this evolutionary process. Recently, several specific anthropometric methods and techniques have been developed and they have undergone their evolutionary processes [2]. Since on one hand competitive sports require athletic, prepared and special body of each specific fıeld of sport, and on the other hand it is possible to measure success and victory by the score, record and also time, fitness experts and professional trainers have a keen interest in physical and physiological characteristics of the athletes in order to determine the factors affecting the athletes' success [3]. What they aim at is devising different training and implementing methods to avoid the negative impact of the disruptive elements and to foster the impact of ...

“…Upravo se, zbog svega navedenog, a bez obzira na sve promjene koje je vaterpolo igra doživjela u zadnjih tridesetak godina, tvrdnja Joris, Muijen Van, IngenSchernau Van i Kemper (1985) da je brzina kretanja lopte koja je šutnuta na gol, osnovna karakteristika u ovom sportu i da zavisi od mišićne sile, tehnike i odgovarajuće sinhronizacije različitih segmenta tijela, i danas može smatrati potpuno prihvatljivom. Pored toga, o kompleksnosti zavisnosti brzine šuta od različitih sposobnosti i karakteristika vaterpoliste, govore i podaci koje saopštavaju Ferragut et al (2011a), a koji govore, da se ovaj specifični fizičko-tehnički kvalitet, na svim igračkim pozicijama, potpuno drugačije ponaša prema antropometrijskim parametrima, u zavisnosti od toga da li je golman na golu, nije, ili se igrač kreće prije šuta.…”

SAŽETAKTehnički, taktički i fiziološki zahtjevi vaterpola, koji su nekada bili standard, danas više nisu aktuelni. Napredak u ukupnom pristupu ovoj sportskoj disciplini, kako sa igračkog i trenerskog, tako i sa naučnog stanovišta, doveo je do konstituisanja novih funkcionalno-motoričkih principa, koji danas važe u ovoj sportskoj igri. Odnos morfoloških karakteristika i specifično-motoričkih sposobnosti predstavlja jednu od najvažnijih osobina igračkog profila elitnog vaterpoliste. Cilj ove studije je bio da ispita i definiše povezanost između antropometrijskih karakteristika (tjelesna visina, raspon ruku, dužina noge, tjelesna masa i BMI) i tri specifična fitness testa: brzina vaterpolo plivanja na 20 metara, maksimalna dinamometrijska sila vaterpolskim "biciklom" i brzina leta lopte kod vaterpolo udarca. Uzorak ispitanika je obuhvatio 22 (23,04 ± 2,72 god.) vaterpolista vrhunskog kvaliteta, članova Crnogorske vaterpolo reprezentacije i jednog vaterpolo kluba koji se takmiči u Jadranskoj ligi. Brzina vaterpolo šuta je pokazala statistički značajnu povezanost sa maksimalnom dinamometrijskom silom (r=0,455, p=0,033). Maksimalna dinamometrijska sila vaterpolskim "biciklom", osim sa brzinom šuta pokazala je značajnu povezanost sa tjelesnom masom (r=0,745, p=0,000), tjelesnom visinom (r=0,568, p=0,006), BMI (r=0,521, p=0,013) i rasponom ruku (r=0,488, p=0,021). Što se tiče brzine vaterpolo plivanja nisu pronađene statistički značajne korelacije. Jedan od glavnih nalaza ovog istraživanja jeste da brzina vaterpolo plivanja nema statistički značajnu povezanost ni sa jednim od primijenjenih morfoloških i specifično-motoričkih parametara. Drugi veoma važan zaključak jeste da brzina šuta značajno korelira samo sa maksimalnom dinamometrijskom silom vaterpolskim "biciklom". Sa druge strane nije pronađena niti jedna statistički značajna veza brzine šuta sa primijenjenim antropometrijskim parametrima, koji su skoro u potpunosti determinisali rezultat u testu za procjenu maksimalne dinamometrijske sile. UVODVaterpolo se praktikuje kao takmičarska aktivnost, odnosno kao sportska igra više od jednog i po vijeka. Tokom tog vremena pravila i način igre su se veoma mnogo promijenili. Tehnički, taktički i fiziološki zahtjevi, koji su nekada bili standard, danas više nisu aktuelni. Napredak u ukupnom pristupu vaterpolu, kako sa igračkog i trenerskog, tako i sa naučnog stanovišta, doveo je do novih funkcionalno-motoričkih principa, koji danas važe u ovoj sportskoj igri. Trenutna pravila i principi, takođe, nisu dati za sva vremena, jer razvoj vaterpola teče dalje i stalan naučni tretman je neophodan, kako bi se dolazilo do saznanja, koja su aktuelna. Aktuelna i relevantna naučna saznanja trebaju biti od pomoći, prije svega vaterpolistima i njihovim trenerima, a potom i naučnicima, kojima je vaterpolo predmet istraživanja.
