BODY COMPOSITION OF ELITE SAMBO ATHLETES SEASONAL CHANGES

Objective; The study was carried out on five elite sambo athletes who train regularly with a mean age of 20 [+ or -] 1.64 and a height of 167.6 [+ or -] 6.88. Methods: Two measurements were made to the athletes, first during the beginning of the season followed by the beginning of the competition pe...

Summary:Objective; The study was carried out on five elite sambo athletes who train regularly with a mean age of 20 [+ or -] 1.64 and a height of 167.6 [+ or -] 6.88. Methods: Two measurements were made to the athletes, first during the beginning of the season followed by the beginning of the competition period. Body circumference measurements, skin fold thickness, claw strength, waist and back strength were measured, body mass indexes (BMI) were calculated using the height and body weights obtained from the athletes. In addition, anaerobic powers were determined with the lewis formula from the values obtained from the vertical jump distances of the athletes. SPSS 20.0 package program was used in the analysis of the data obtained. The level of significance was taken as p <0.05. Results: According to the results obtained, leg strengths and anaerobic strengths of sambo athletes measured at the beginning of the season were found to be significantly lower than the values measured at the end of the season (p <0.05). From the circumference measurements, the mean measurements of neck, chest, biceps (ex-flx), hip and femur circumference were significantly higher in the second measurement (p <0.05). Other measurements made at the beginning and end of the season and the averages of skinfold thickness did not reflect a statistically significant difference (p> 0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that during the trainings performed during the preparation period, the athletes increased their other regional strengths, which is important in anaerobic power and leg strength, depending on the muscular development, the environmental measurements and the muscle development. Key words: Sambo, regular training, body composition, BMI.
