7-10 YAŞ ARASI YÜZME YAPAN ÇOCUKLARDA ANTROPOMETRİK VE SOMATOTİP DEĞİŞKENLER
ANTHROPOMETRIC AND SOMATOTYPE VARIABLES IN YOUNG SWIMMERS

Summary/Abstract: Material and Methods: In TOBB ETU pool on March 17/2018, individuals between 7-10 years who regularly practice swimming and swam as amateurs on behalf of the clubs were selected as participants. 96 individuals participated in the study as 42 female and 54 male, anthropometric measurements of triceps, biceps, subscapular, suprailiac and calf skin fold thicknesses (d.k.k.), elbow, knee, shoulder, chest width, chest depth, upper arm, neck and ankle circumference were obtained. The measurements were taken in accordance with the techniques prescribed by the International Biological Program. The length measurement was performed with a Martin-type anthropometer and a weight of ± 100 gr digital weighing. Participants wear swimwear in the measurements. Findings: For anthropometric measurements, there was a significant difference between the genders of elbow knee circumference and breast depth (p<0.05). Somatotype values in girls was found with values of 4.7-5.1-3.0 as mesomorphic -endomorph and in males was found with values of- 4.2-5.7-2.8 as endomorfic mesomorph.
