AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF RAPID WEIGHT LOSS ON OVERALL STRENGTH IN 17- AND 18-YEAR-OLD MALE WRESTLERS

Introduction and Objective: The goal of this study is to examine the effects of rapid weight loss on the overall strength of young male wrestlers. Methods: The study participants consisted of wrestlers aged 17-18 who competed in group competitions held in 5 cities in Turkey between March 31st and April 2nd, 2017. The participants included 6 Greco-Roman wrestlers in group competitions in Elazığ and 7 free-style wrestlers, for a total of 13 wrestlers. The first set of measurements of the athletes was taken 2 weeks before the competition, and the second set of measurements was made 1 day prior to competing. The measurements taken were weight, right and left hand grip strength, back strength, leg strength, vertical jump height, and the Cooper test. The statistical package program SPSS 17 was used to analyze the data. A value of p < .05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among the wrestlers participating in the study, significant differences were observed in weight, vertical jump height, back strength, leg strength, and the Cooper test results when compared to the pre-study measurements (p < .05). For vertical jump height, the average of the first measurement was 32.92 and that of the second measurement was 31.07, resulting in a statistically significant difference (p < .05). The difference in averages for the Cooper test was also statistically significant, with an average of 2646.1 obtained for the first test and 2467.6 for the second test (p < .05). Conclusion: Rapid weight loss in wrestlers has an adverse effect on their overall strength, as determined using several parameters

THE EFFECT OF BODY FAT PERCENTAGE OF FEMALE BADMINTON PLAYERS BALANCE ABILITY AND ANAEROBIC POWER

As an important future of motoric abilities in sporting performance and daily life balance ability is simply defined as the provision of the body center of gravity within the specified limits. Based on our study of these ideas ; we aimed to investigate the relationship between body fat percentage,balance ability and anaerobic power values of female badminton players.40 female badminton players aged 16-18 are participated in this research from Çankırı Karatekin University Sports Club. Measurement in research (body fat percentage, anaerobic power, balance ability) were applied to all athletes. The obtained data were evaluated by statistical package program, body fat percentage, average balance ability and anaerobic power values of athletes was compared p <0.05 significance level. When balance ability and anaerobic power values analized with a high body fat percentage of athletes, the balance ability values of high body fat percentage was found to be lower than the athletes with normal and low body fat percentage. However anaerobic power and body fat percentage were not significant differences between the values.As a result, a high percentage of body fat has been observed that occurred a negative impact on the ability to balance

The Effect Of Body Fat Percentage On Balance And Some Physıcal Propertıes Of 14-17 Years Old Elıte Female Boxers

Bu çalışmanın amacı, araştırma grubunu oluşturan Çankırı iline bağlı elit bayan boksörlerde vücut yağ oranlarının denge ve bazı fiziksel özelliklerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya spor yaşları en az 2 yıl olan 18 bayan sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Vücut kompozisyonu ölçümleri bölümlendirilmiş vücut analizi cihazı (TANİTA BC 418) kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Dinamik denge ölçümleri Lafayette Stability Platform (16020) ile yapılmıştır. Anaerobik güç hesaplaması için, dikey sıçrama değerleri ölçülmüş ve Lewis Anaerobik Güç formülü kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, vücut yağ yüzdesinin denge ve bazı fiziksel özelliklere etkisi incelendiğinde anlamlı farklılıklar bulunamazken, vücut yağ yüzdesi yüksek olan sporcuların denge yeteneği değerlerinin düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma grubumuzu oluşturan sporcuların vücut yağ oranları çok yüksek olmadığından önemli farklılıklar tespit edilememiştir. Ancak literatürdeki bilgilere ve çalışma sonuçlarına göre, vücut yağ oranının boksörlerin performansında ve denge seviyelerinde önemli bir etken olduğu, sporcu seçilirken vücut yağ oranı düşük kişilerin seçilmesiyle hem sportif performans hem de derece açısından önemli başarılar elde edilebileceği söylenebilirThe aim of this study is to investigate the effect of body fat percentage on balance and some physical properties of the female boxers who fights in Çankırı city. 18 female boxers, are participated in this study who at least boxing for 2 years. Body composition measurements were performed using a segmented body analyzer (TAN&#288;TA BC 418). For Dynamic balance measurements, Lafayette Stability Platform (16020) has been used. For calculation of anaerobic power, vertical jump measured values are used and calculated by Lewis Anaerobic Power formula. When the effect of body fat percentage on balance ability and some physical features investigated, we could not find a significant difference. It has been determined that the athletes, who has a higher body fat percentage, has lower balance values. Because of the research group s body fat percentage is not too high; there is not a significant difference. But according to the literature and the study results, it can be said that, body fat is an important factor on performance and balance of boxers and choosing the athletes who has lower body fat percentage will bring a good sportive performance and important success

Investigation of healthy life style behaviors of women who are in gym for recreational purpose

Body composition measurements were performed using a segmented body analyzer (TANİTA BC 418). For Dynamic balance measurements, Lafayette Stability Platform (16020) has been used. For calculation of anaerobic power, vertical jump measured values are used and calculated by Lewis Anaerobic Power formula. As a result, while there is not a significant difference in the investigation which is effect of body fat percentage on balance and anaerobic power (p>0.05), it is seen that athlete’s, who has higher body fat percentage, balance ability (X=0,83, 0,97, 0,76, 0,96) and anaerobic power mean values (X=0,53) are lower than the others.
