STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT OF DYNAMOMETER FORCE IN FEMALE ATHLETS

STATUS DINAMOMETRIJSKE SILE KOD SPORTISTKINJA

Sport Mont 2009, VI(18-19-20), 561-568

Abstract

The aim of this research was to perceive, on a great sample of sportswomen, di- vided according to the age, the current trend of the development of this ability related to some former researches that means to perceive concurrence or possibly distinguishing of those values related to the previous ones. On the sample of 792 sportswomen, at the age of 8 till 21, divided on sub-samples according to the age it was measured dynamometer force by classic methods of dynamometer measuring. Such obtained results placed in a data base of a Provincial Institution for sport in Novi Sad, were processed by methods of descriptive statistics, on the basis of which it was carried out a developing curve of this ability of a contemporary sports youth. Based on the size of some sub-samples it could be concluded that the number of some respondents within them at the age of 10 to 21 in most cases allow relevant concluding about developing trends of explosive force, altho- ugh it must be noticed that less presence of respondents in initial and final years allows only conditional conclusion. In sportswomen a developing curve is being characterized by a steady time of obtaining of maximum values (at the age of twenty till twenty-one) and only at the muscles of legs maximum values are noted earlier at the age of eighteen till twenty. Dynamics of the development of dynamometer force till those maximum va- lues has a different trend for different muscular groups. After achieving of maximum values, force is being maintained constantly for a long time on a lower level, and only varies in rare cases. Within a female population a developing trend of dynamometer force is very prone to bigger varying of some muscular groups but because of that top values are being noted almost in the same period of a development of an individual. The time of lasting of those maximum values related to the male population is considerably shorter. Though, after the peak, sportswomen maintain the level of dynamometric force on submaximum level of its maximum force for a long time. A developing curve of dyna- mometric force in young sportswomen does not have a tendency of an even development, because jumping trends of values are more evident than at male population. That is especially the case in sportswomen after the age of twenty till twenty-one. But, because a less number of respondents in monitored sub-samples, for the confirmation of some given facts, there are necessary further researches.
