PREDICTOR VALUES OF ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS IN RUNNING SHORT DISTANCE ON THE YOUNG ATHLETES

Sport Mont 2013, XI(37-38-39), 513-521

Abstract

In order to investigate the influence of some anthropometrical characteristics of the event, running speed at 20 meters, 40 meters and 60 meters, an experimental study on a sample of 65 young athletes of these (30 involved in the sport of table tennis and 35 involved in the tennis sport) aged 15-16 years, in Prizren. For purposes of this study were applied 7 tests of anthropometric characteristics that made the predictor variables of the system and the 3 test of motoric abilities that made the criterion variables of the system. Data were analyzed using descriptive and regression analyzes. Based on research results and discussions can be confidently concluded that criterion test (running at 20 meters, 40 meters, and 60 meters), have a significant impact on the manifestation of anthropometrical variables: body height (BOHE), body mass (BOMA), perimeter of sternum (PEST), and perimeter of upper arm (PEUA), with young athletes aged 15-16 old years, respectively, to is possible to forecast the results of these criterion tests based on measures of the predictor system participants.
