In addition to genetics, there are also environmental factors and cultural differences. This study aimed to find out the somatotype Profile of Gorkha soccer players based on their playing position and also to determine which anthropometric type is the most distinctive. The study sample consisted of 30 National-level Soccer players from different academies or clubs who participated in the National Level Championships Tournament will be selected purposively as subjects and aged 18-25 years, including Striker (N=10), Midfielder (N=10) and Defender (N=10). Heath and Carter’s (1990) equations for decimal anthropometry (ISAK) measurements were used. Body density percentage was calculated according to the equation of Durnin and Womersley (1974). Then, the amount of body fat was determined using the Siri (1956) equation. The results indicated that most of the players showed a body type that was ectomorphic mesomorph, which is the most important component in all positions. Therefore, the study concluded that a body type with a strong ectomorph and slight mesomorph advantage would benefit soccer players at the elite level.","PeriodicalId":488544,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physical Education and Health Science","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140716470","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}

It is in the light of the above that this study quantitatively assessed the perception and roles of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) on maternal health among women of reproductive age in Ifedore local government area in ondo state. The study relied on the health belief theoretical model to explain the social and psychological health behaviour of women of reproductive age with respect to patronage and knowledge of the TBAs. A descriptive cross –sectional study design was used for the investigation. The sample consists of three hundred and seventy-nine (379) respondents comprising 242 women of reproductive age, 100 traditional birth attendants, 20 medical and paramedical personnel randomly selected from local communities within Ifedore local government using a multistage sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaire and the results were analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents have good perception of the roles of the TBAs in that area and that child-bearing women patronized them because they are cheaper than government’s hospitals services and closer to them than government-owned health facilities. The study concluded that the TBAs play vital roles in maternity health care delivery among women of reproductive age in Ifedore local government area. It is,therefore, recommended that the government should as a matter of necessity foster partnership with a view of improving their skills to meet the global best practices. Also, health care services should be made affordable in public health institutions to encourage patronage by the rural and semi-urban dwellers.","PeriodicalId":488544,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Physical Education and Health Science","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135202560","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}
