“…The main findings of the current study found a significantly low correlation between somatotype characteristics and certain general physical fitness tests and throwing velocity. During the verification process between somatotype variables and general physical fitness tests and throwing velocity, the findings of the current study concur with other published studies in handball and volleyball, where higher endomorphy corresponds to less power in the lower limbs, reduced cardiopulmonary capabilities and hence lower sprint performance 30,31 . Endomorphy is characterized by a higher percentage of body fat 19 and for the optimum performance of a handball player, the percentage of body fat must be within the recommended figures 32 .…”

The study aimed to investigate the effects of the somatotype components on handball. Methods:The sample consisted of 60 elite junior handball players. Somatotype was evaluated using the Heath & Carter method. The kinetic performance trials of the handball athletes were running speed performance over 5 m 10 m and 20 m sprints, sit and reach, standing long jump (SLJ), ball velocity, and maximum aerobic power. For the data analyses, we used Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. Results: The endomorphic component correlated positive with all three sprint times (5 m, 10 m και 30 m sprints) (r = 0.315, p = 0.014; r = 0.367, p = 0.004; r = 0.358, p = 0.005 respectively) while negative with SLJ (r = -0.418, p = 0.001) και maximum aerobic power (r = -0.322, p = 0.012). The mesomorphic component had a positive correlation with ball velocity (r = 0.260, p = 0.045) and negative relation with SLJ (r = -0.261, p = 0.044). The ectomorphic component exhibited a negative correlation only with ball velocity (r = -0.260, p = 0.045). The ordinary least square regression models found that endomorphy and ectomorphy were prognostic factors and predicted worse performance in all of the examined motor performance indices except ball velocity and 5 m sprint, while mesomorphy was a predictor of worse performance in SLJ. Conclusions: In conclusion, according to the findings of this study, somatotype components play an important role in performance-related parameters.

“…However, if we would compare the results of muscle mass in Turkish volleyball players by Acar & Eler (2019) 24.9 ± 3.0 kg and muscle mass results in Spanish players by Martín-Matillas et al (2014) 27.3 ± 2.9 kg, we will conclude that both national teams of Montenegro and Kosovo also has greater or approximately the same values. The t-test results show that Montenegro and Kosovo players are approximately the same when it comes to years, as well as that the Montenegrin female volleyball players had higher values of height and body mass than those playing for the selection of Kosovo.…”

The aim of this research was to determine the differences related to morphological characteristics and body composition among female players of Montenegro national junior volleyball team and Kosovo national junior volleyball team. A sample of the subject consists of a total of 25 top-level female junior players who were members of two national teams, participants of the European Championship qualifying 2020. The first sub-sample of the subjects consisted of 13 players of National team of Montenegro, of the average age 17.13 ± 0.54, while the other sub-sample consisted of 12 players of National team of Kosovo, of the average age of 16.35 ± 0.41. Anthropometric characteristics in the body composition were evaluated by a battery of 11 variables: body height (cm), body weight (kg), triceps skinfold (mm), back skinfold, biceps skinfold, abdominal skinfold, thigh skinfold, calf skinfold, body mass index (BMI), percentage of fat (%) and muscle mass (kg). Statistically significant differences (p< 0.05) between body composition and morphological characteristic of the female volleyball players of two national teams, Montenegro and Kosovo, were determined by using a discriminatory parametric procedure with t-test for small independent samples. The results showed that the female volleyball players of Montenegro are somewhat higher, also they have greater body mass index, greater muscle mass and a significantly lower percentage of fat, compared to the female volleyball players of Kosovo. When it comes to variables of skinfolds, it was demonstrated only one statistical significance in favor of the Montenegrin National team, variable skinfold thigh.

“…Bodyweight, fat mass, and muscle mass are important anthropometric factors to support jumping performance. 9 To get a high vertical jump value, maximum muscle contraction is required. The main structure of skeletal muscle is the myofibrils which are an important unit of skeletal muscle, contain contractile protein elements that cause muscles to contract.…”

Background: Muscle explosive power as a component of physical fitness is an important factor that supports athletic performance in most sports. jump height and vertical jump performance in assessing explosive muscle power are influenced by various factors, including physiological, biomechanical, and anthropometric factors. Body mass index, muscle mass, and fat mass are important anthropometric factors in supporting jumping performance.Objective: To analyze the relationship between body mass index and muscle mass with legs muscle explosive power in first-year medical students of Diponegoro University.Methods: This study is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The subjects consist of 60 males and 108 females in first-year medical students of Diponegoro University who met the criteria. Body mass index and muscle mass were measured by Omron bioelectrical impedance analyzer, and muscle explosive power was measured by vertical jump test. Data were analyzed with the Kolmogorov Smirnov normality test and Spearman correlation test.Results: The average value of body mass index was 21.760±2.7734, muscle mass was 29.468±4.3283, and muscle explosive power was 29.468±4.3283. Muscle mass was positively correlated with legs muscle explosive power (p=0.00, R= 0.583) and negatively correlated between body mass index and legs muscle explosive power but it was not statistically significant (p=0.823 dan R=- 0.017) in first-year medical students of Diponegoro University.Conclusion: Muscle mass was positively correlated with legs muscle explosive power and body mass index showed no significant correlation with muscle explosive power. Keywords: body mass index, muscle explosive power, muscle mass, vertical jump test
