Anthropometric Profile, Body Composition and Vertical Jump Score in Boxers and Swimmers

Abstract

Background. Vertical jump test (VJT) is used in

Physical Fitness of Basketball and Volleyball Players of Kolkata, India

“…Measurements of body height and body mass were taken with the subject standing barefoot and wearing minimum clothing on a weighing machine built-in with height measuring rod (Avery India Ltd, India) having an accuracy of ±0.50 cm and ±0.1 kg, respectively. Body Surface Area (BSA) and body mass index (BMI) were calculated by the following formulae: BSA (m 2 ) = (Body mass in kg) 0.425 ×(Body height in cm) 0.725 × 0.007184 [8] BMI (kg/m 2 ) = (Body mass in kg)÷(Stature in m) 2 [9] Determination of Body Composition Measurement of the skinfolds was done with the help of Holtain skinfold calliper (Holtain Ltd., UK) having the constant tension for determination of the several components of body composition employing the following equations:…”

“…Marking was also made with respect to this spot and the difference between the marks was taken into account as the vertical jump height. [9] Determination of Reaction Time…”

“…Isometric strength was tested by measuring the peak force applicable at the specific joint angle at which the test was measured. [9] Statistical Analysis of Data…”

Anthropometric and Physical Performance Characteristics of Swimmers

“…Based on this biomechanical description, certain anthropometric variables may influence performance. Studies have confirmed that the best perform best-performing the anthropometric characteristics required for swimming (Rejman et al, 2018;Roy et al, 2015). Information about variables in their anthropometric measurements can be used to investigate what a competitive swimmer's body composition should be at different abilities.…”

Ισοκινητικά Χαρακτηριστικά Ερασιτεχνών Αθλητών Της Πυγμαχίας

“…Στα μαχητικά αθλήματα ενδιαφερόμαστε να βελτιώσουμε τη ικανότητα της δύναμης, και ειδικά στην πυγμαχία, τη μέγιστη δύναμη, την ισομετρική, τη ταχυδύναμη και την αντοχή στην ταχυδύναμη, καθώς εξαρτάται από αυτές τις μορφές σε διαφορετικό βαθμό (Chaabène et al, 2014;Guidetti, Musulin, & Baldari, 2002;Hübner-Woźniak et al, 2011;Lenetsky et al, 2013;Loturco et al, 2015;Ranjini, 2013;Roy, Dalui, Kalinski, & Bandyopadhyay, 2014;Sariman et al, 2014;B.
