The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of 2D:4D finger length ratio (also known as digit ratio) with biomotoric features and sports performance in adolescent basketball players. 24 male basketball players with a mean age of 14.83±0.71 years and a training age of 7.08±1.92 years participated in the study.\u0000Materials and methods. The participants’ 2D and 4D finger lengths of both hands, height (cm), body weight (kg), some biomotoric characteristics and sports performances were determined by measurements. The German Heidelberger Basketball Test was conducted to evaluate the basketball-based sports performances of the participants. The SPSS 25.0 package program was performed in the statistical analysis of the obtained data. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine whether or not the data showed a normal distribution. Parametric tests were preferred for statistical analysis as the data were found to have a normal distribution.\u0000Results. It was found that there was no statistically significant relationship between the 2D:4D finger length ratio, some motoric features and basketball-based sports performances of the participants (p>0.05). It was concluded that the ratio of 2D:4D finger lengths in adolescent basketball players did not have an effect on biomotoric features and basketball-based sports performance. When the correlation between 2D:4D finger length ratio and sports performance parameters was examined, no statistically significant relationship was observed (p>0.05).\u0000Conclusions. Although some studies show a significant negative correlation between performance tests and the 2D:4D ratio, it should be noted that the 2D:4D finger ratio is not the only determinant for sports performance.","PeriodicalId":178000,"journal":{"name":"Physical Education Theory and Methodology","volume":"6 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140413733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the relationship between kicking speed performance and different stance widths during barbell hip thrust (BHT) at one repetition maximum (1RM) scores among young elite Silat athletes. Materials and methods. 15 male and 15 female Silat athletes with at least one year of resistance training experience and a mean age of 21.3 ± 1.2 years participated in this study. The load indicator performance associated with kicking performance was measured using 1RM load during BHT at varying stance widths. The data was analyzed using Pearson correlation tests through the SPSS Version 25 application. Results. A significant correlation was found between stance width, physical characteristics, and performance metrics with a low to moderate relationship. For physical features, weight (r=0.43, p<.05), height (r= 0.64, p<.05), and leg length (r= 0.44, p<.05) show positive relationship. Low to moderate significant relationships were found during WSW-RFK (r=0.39, p<.05) regarding 1RM and kicking performance. No significant correlations were found between NSW or NRW and the observed variables, except for a negative correlation between NRW and strength (r= -0.43, p < .05). There was a significant difference between males vs. females in RFK-NSW, RFK (p=0.006, p< .05), and LFK-NRW (p=0.001, p< .05) in kicking performance. Conclusions. This study revealed that stance width in barbell hip thrusts moderately correlates with physical characteristics and performance in young elite Silat athletes, where wider stances align with physical characteristics and narrower stances align with lower kicking performance.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physiological reactivity and sprint paddling performance among elite athletes, focusing on cardiorespiratory responses, metabolic efficiency, and energy utilization patterns. Materials and methods. A group of N= 20 elite sprint paddlers from various regions in India was meticulously selected for this study. Detailed assessments of cardiorespiratory responses, metabolic efficiency, and energy utilization patterns were conducted using standardized protocols and cutting-edge measurement techniques. Individual differences among athletes were carefully documented. Results. The study revealed a remarkable homogeneity among the athletes, reflecting stringent training standards. However, intriguing individual differences emerged, particularly in cardiorespiratory reactivity. Athletes with swift neural responses and adept metabolic acidosis adaptation showcased enhanced overall performance, indicating the critical role of the nervous system and efficient respiratory mechanisms in optimizing paddlers’ capabilities. Analysis of CO2 emissions and lactate concentrations indicated a balanced energy utilization pattern and optimal anaerobic metabolism and respiratory responses. Balancing anaerobic alactate and lactate capacities emerged as pivotal. Conclusions. The findings underscore the need for targeted training programs that leverage individual differences, enhance neural adaptations, and metabolic acidosis tolerance, and optimize energy pathways. These transformative insights offer coaches, sports scientists, and athletes valuable tools to elevate performance outcomes. The study enriches our understanding of sprint paddling and serves as a paradigm for studying elite athletic performance, guiding the future of sports science and coaching.
