The Determination of the Relationship between Somatotypes and Speed of Sub-Elite Athletes

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between somatotypes and speed of 180 male sub-elite athletes aged between 18 and 25. Athletes were divided into two categories as balanced group (balanced somatotype groups) and randomly selected groups (groups outside balanced somatotypes groups) based on their somatotype structures. The arithmetic means and standard deviations of groups are (n=30) 21.95±2.80 years of age, height 168.40±2.62 cm, weight 69.20±5.26 kg in balanced endomorph group, (n=30) 21.60±3.15 years of age, height 170.25±6.39 cm, weight 67.25±6.09 kg in balanced mesomorph group, and (n=30) 20.40±1.46 years of age, height 175.10±5.02 cm, and weight 60.05±5.09 kg in balanced ectomorph group. On the other hand, the same values are (n=30) 21.35±2.30 years of age, height 160.10±2.20 cm, and weight 69.30±5.70 kg in random endomorph group, (n=30) 21.36±2.40 years of age, height 169.24±2.21 cm and weight 65.40±3.25 kg in random mesomorph groups, and (n=30) 20.50±1.85 years of age, height 176.15±3.30 cm and weight 70.10±4.45 kg in random ectomorph group. The measurement data were analyzed using SPSS 2.0 package program for Windows. Somatotype calculations were done in SOMATOTURK Calculation Program. The statistical analysis demonstrated that a highly positive significant correlation (p˂0.001) was found between balanced somatotype groups (balanced endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph) and randomly selected somatotype groups (random endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph).

The Development and Application of Computational Fairy Tales for Elementary Students

“…Sullivan (2012) made use of the fairy tale 'Santa's Dirty Socks' to introduce a divide and conquer algorithm to elementary school students (Halder and Chandra, 2012;Hussein, 2017;Lawal and Samy, 2017;Marangoz, 2018;Mbunda-Nekang, 2018). In Korea, Park (2017) applied a computational fairy tale based unplugged activities approach to prospective teachers, and the positive learning in computer science was demonstrated to be more meaningful than simply using unplugged computer science activities by themselves (Hassan and Kommers, 2018).…”

Relative Comprehensiveness of Performance Measurement System: Organisational Ownership Structure and Size

“…Based on the review of literature, most scholars define comprehensive PMS in terms of their features (Santos, Lucianetti and Bourne, 2012). BSC is a widely known SPMS (White, 2008) and is considered as comprehensive PMS (Malina & Selto, 2001;Ittner et al, 2003b;Ullrich & Tuttle, 2004;Marangoz, 2018).…”

11-13 Yaş Erkek Taekwondo Sporcularının Somatotip Yapıları ve Performans Özellikleri Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

“…Taekwondo; tüm spor dallarında olduğu gibi eğlence, sağlık, popülarite, saygınlık, iyi görünmek, iyi hissetmek ve maddi-manevi şampiyonluk avantajlarından faydalanmak gibi çeşitli amaçlar için bir araç olarak tercih edilebilir. Konu şampiyonluk olduğunda ise; bilimsel metotlarla yapılan yetenek seçimi, seçilen yeteneğin doğru antrene edilmesi ve performans değerlendirmesinin sporcuya özel olarak yapılması gibi bilim ve tecrübenin sahaya yansıtılması gerektiği konular öne çıkmakta ve sporda başarının kilit rolünü oluşturmaktadır (Marangoz, 2018).…”
