Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the body mass index levels of team and individual athletes in terms of different variables. 170 athletes who actively do sports in different sports branches voluntarily participated in the research. Tanita body composition analysis measurement was used for body mass index and body weight in the study. For balance performance, sense wave medical, sense product device was used. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that the body mass index valuesof male team athletes were lower than female athletes. When the balance levels were examined, it was determined that only the risk of falling (fall risk) was higher in women than in men (p<0,05). When the body mass index of the individual athletes was examined according to the gender variable, it was determined that the female athletes had a higher body mass index than the men (p<0,05). There was no significant difference in balance levels (p>0,05). When team and individual sports were compared, it was seen that the body mass index of team athletes was lower than that of individual athletes (p<0,05). As a result, it was determined that the body mass index of male athletes was lower than female athletes in both team and individual sports. In this direction, different studies that will examine the motor skills and body mass index of athletes may contribute more significantly to the data of balance performance.

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı takım ve bireysel sporcuların vücut kitle indeksi düzeylerinin farklı değişkenler açısından incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya farklı spor dallarında aktif olarak spor yapan 170 sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Çalışmada vücut kitle indeksi ve vücut ağırlığı için Tanita vücut kompozisyonu analiz ölçümü kullanılmıştır. Denge performansı için ise sense wave medikal, sense product cihazı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre erkek takım sporcularının vücut kitle indeksi değerlerinin kadın sporculara göre daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Denge seviyeleri incelendiğinde ise yalnızca düşme riskinde (fall risk) kadınların erkeklere göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Bireysel sporcuların cinsiyet değişkenine göre vücut kitle indeksi incelendiğinde ise kadın sporcuların erkeklere göre daha yüksek vücut kitle indeksine sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Denge düzeylerinde anlamlı bir fark olmadığı saptanmıştır (p>0,05). Takım ve bireysel sporlar karşılaştırıldığında ise takım sporcularının vücut kitle indeksinin, bireysel sporculara göre daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak hem takım hem de bireysel sporlarda erkek sporcuların vücut kitle indeksinin kadınlara göre daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, sporcuların motor becerileri ile vücut kitle indeksini inceleyecek farklı araştırmalar denge performansına ait verilere daha önemli katkı sağlayabilir.
