“…The objective significance can be labelled as significant; the value of Cohen's d was 0.99 and 1.23 (Table 3). We did not find such a high mean value even in studies monitoring regular population; authors usually state endomorphy component value of up to 3 points (da Silva Vasques, Lopes, Teixeira e Seabra, da Silva, & Maia, 2006;Peeters et al, 2003;Viviani, 2001). The value of 4-4.5 points is regarded as an endomorphy component value signaling increased body weight (Lohman, 1989), we found this value in 13 players (43.33%) at the lowest performance level.…”

BACKGROUND: Somatic parameters are included not only in the general structure of sporting performance, but also in the structure of sporting performance in soccer. In light of this structure, higher performance players should have better somatic performance prerequisites, and their somatic parameters should differ from players with lower performance levels. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to assess the somatic parameters of players with different performance levels. METHODS: The research included 90 soccer players in the age of 17 years in three performance categories playing in the junior competition in the Czech Republic. Average age of the individual levels -highest performance 17.61 ± 0.48, middle performance 17.50 ± 0.50, lowest performance 17.50 ± 0.50 years. The following was monitored -basic anthropometric parameters (body weight, body height), somatotype (Heath-Carter), representation of body fat (BF), fat free mass (FFM) and the total body water (TBW). The Tanita 418 MA tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance (BIA) scale was used for the determination of the representation of BF and the TBW. All players were measured at the beginning of the competition period in the same year. All measurements were implemented in the morning hours by the same person with corresponding experience. RESULTS:The average values of somatic parameters measured in the individual performance categories show that we can only consider them to be an indicator of sporting performance up to a particular performance level. The boundary was the middle performance level (teams playing regional competition) as their mean values of the monitored somatic parameters significantly differed from the mean values of players at the lowest performance level (teams playing at the district and municipal levels) but they did not differ when compared with the mean values of the players at the highest performance level (teams playing the top junior league). CONCLUSIONS: From the middle performance level (regional competition), we do not consider the monitored body composition parameters as crucial in terms of individual playing performance.

“…The main framework of psychology was cognitive and this did not permit to deepen the analysis in terms of social relationships, internalization, embodiment, and all the relationships existing between BI and the many aspects of power (Browett 2012). From these components an individual derives a shade representation of her/his own body, whose boundaries are socially mediated (Viviani 2001;. As demonstrated by Gallagher (2005), it differs from body schema, being the latter a system of sensorimotor characteristics working without the need of perceptual monitoring.…”

Some aspects of the Self-Referent Thought such as Body Image (BI) and Body Satisfaction (BS) are not well known in subjects widely using their bodies for working or leisure purposes. It is hypothesized that they are lesser biased that those commonly found in literature. In order to gain insights on BI and BS, to a cohort of Italian professional speleologists (189 males and 69 females aged 18-68 years old) a modified versions of the Fallon & Rozin's Test (1988) test and the Body Part Satisfaction Scale were administered on line. Vital statistics and curricular data, height and weight and the degree of physical activity carried out weekly were ascertained with questionnaires. Subjects were subdivided on the basis on the level of performance reached, after a thorough scrutiny of their previous curricula. Data were compared with those available in literature for Italians. On the average, speleologists tend to conform to their professional body typology, even if their ideal physique for cave explorers is more ectomorphic. Despite the high physical variability found, these professionals detain a correct vision of their bodies and show a good degree of satisfaction regarding their own body and its different parts. Results appear to be congruent with the undertaken activity, as speleology involves the whole body. This suggests that the positive influence of this activity on BI and BS.
