Abstract

The effect of the anthropometric characteristics on performances has been the subject of many studies (Reilly, T., Bangsbo, J., & Franks, A. (2000). Anthropometric and physiological predispositions for elite soccer. Journal of Sports Science, 18 (9), 669–683) but performance also depends on different physiological parameters. The aim of the present study is to define the anthropometric and physiological variables that best predict performance time of 100 m freestyle swimming. Twenty-five competitive male swimmers (age: 15 ± 1.2 years) participated in the research. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that arm span is the best predictor of 100 m freestyle swimming performance (r = 0.835). Arm span explains 68.5% of the variance of dependent variable (Adj R2 : 0.685). In the final model, the variables that best describe 100 m freestyle swimming are the number of strokes of 100 m freestyle swimming, triceps skinfold, pelvis and shoulders width (Adj R2 : 0.882). These findings confirm the importance of the anthropometric variables for swimming performance and could help coaches in the selection of high-level athletes.

高水平游泳运动员100米自由泳的人体测量特征和生理反应

人体测量特征对表现的影响一直是许多研究的主题(Reilly, T.， Bangsbo, J.， & Franks, A.(2000))。精英足球的人体测量学和生理倾向。运动科学杂志，18(9)，669-683)，但表现也取决于不同的生理参数。本研究的目的是定义人体测量和生理变量，最好地预测100米自由泳的表现时间。研究对象为25名男性游泳运动员，年龄15±1.2岁。多元逐步回归分析显示臂展是100米自由泳成绩的最佳预测因子(r = 0.835)。臂幅解释了68.5%的因变量方差(Adj R2: 0.685)。在最后的模型中，最能描述100米自由泳的变量是100米自由泳的划水次数、三头肌皮褶、骨盆和肩部宽度(Adj R2: 0.882)。这些发现证实了人体测量变量对游泳成绩的重要性，可以帮助教练选择高水平的运动员。
