Abstract

Abstract Study aim: The aim of the study was to determine the anthropometric characteristics of elite Turkish wrestlers according to their weight categories. Material and methods: In this study, 21 elite male wrestlers (age 22.9 ± 4.0) have been examined according to three weight categories: Light weight, middle weight, heavy weight. Height, weight, arm and calf girth, humerus and femur width, skinfolds (triceps, subscapular, calf, supraspinale) were measured. Arm anthropometry (upper arm muscle area, upper arm fat area, upper arm fat index), somatotype (Heath-Carter somatotype method), and body composition (bio-impedance analysis) were determined. Results: In the light weight wrestlers, body fat was 9.95% and somatotype 2.15–6.68–1.62; in the middle weight wrestlers, body fat was 11.79% and somatotype 2.83–6.83–1.01; in the heavy weight wrestlers, body fat was 18.63% and somatotype 4.10–8.13–0.53 was determined. While the endomorphy component of the light weight wrestlers was significantly lower than the middle weight and heavy weight wrestlers (p < 0.017), the ectomorphy component was significantly higher than the heavy weight wrestlers (p < 0.05). Fat free mass differed significantly between the three weight categories (p < 0.017), while body fat was higher in heavy weight than both light weight and middle weight (p < 0.017). The weight showed a significant and positive relationship with all anthropometric and body composition values except AFI and ectomorphy (p < 0.05 with mesomorphy, p < 0.01 with others). Conclusions: As a result of the study, it was determined that wrestlers have anthropometric characteristics specific to their weight categories. While the light weight wrestlers show a balanced mesomorph structure, the heavy weight wrestlers have adapted to the endomorphic mesomorph body type with the increase in fat and fat free mass.

土耳其优秀摔跤运动员的人体测量学和身体成分特征评估

摘要研究目的:本研究的目的是根据体重类别确定优秀土耳其摔跤运动员的人体测量特征。材料与方法:本研究对21名优秀男子摔跤运动员(22.9±4.0岁)按轻、中、重三个体重类别进行体检。测量身高、体重、手臂和小腿围、肱骨和股骨宽度、皮肤褶皱(三头肌、肩胛下、小腿、脊柱上)。测定上臂人体测量(上臂肌肉面积、上臂脂肪面积、上臂脂肪指数)、体型(Heath-Carter体型法)和身体组成(生物阻抗分析)。结果:轻体重摔跤运动员体脂率为9.95%，体型为2.15 ~ 6.68 ~ 1.62;中等体重摔跤运动员体脂为11.79%，体型为2.83 ~ 6.83 ~ 1.01;体重摔跤运动员体脂为18.63%，体型为4.10-8.13-0.53。轻体重摔角运动员的自形态成分显著低于中、重度摔角运动员(p < 0.017)，异形态成分显著高于重度摔角运动员(p < 0.05)。3个体重类别间无脂质量差异显著(p < 0.017)，而体脂在体重较重时均高于体重轻和体重中(p < 0.017)。体重与除AFI和外型外的所有人体测量值和体成分值均呈显著正相关(中形态组p < 0.05，其他组p < 0.01)。结论:作为研究的结果，确定摔跤运动员具有特定于其体重类别的人体测量特征。轻量级摔跤运动员表现出平衡的中形态结构，而重量级摔跤运动员随着脂肪和无脂肪量的增加，已经适应了内形态的中形态体型。
