“…For this reason, we calculated FFM per 1 m of the height to evaluate the muscle mass relative to the skeleton, which is the framework of the body. FFM/Ht was 28.8 and 29.6 kg · m Ϫ1 in Groups V and B, respectively, and these values were close to 31.4 kg · m Ϫ1 in players of company-owned teams (Ikegawa et al;1988), 28.7 kg · m Ϫ1 in college students (Kovaleski et al;, and 29.2 kg · m Ϫ1 in high school students 1995a) concerning volleyball players and to 29.8 kg · m Ϫ1 in players of company-owned teams and 28.7 kg · m Ϫ1 in high school students 1995a) concerning basketball players. FFM/Ht was not different between Groups V and B.…”

“…Body composition Kitagawa et al (1974) and Wilmore (1993) indicated that the body composition greatly affects the energy-related physical strength and skill in various sports. %Fat has been determined by the underwater weighing method at 19.5% in college students by Kovaleski et al (1980), 17.9% in college students by Puhl et al (1982), 18.0% in players of companyowned teams by Ikegawa et al (1988), and 19.6% in high school students by Tsunawake et al (1995a) among volleyball players and at 20.8% in college students by Sinning et al (1973) and 18.8% in players of company-owned teams and 18.0% in high school students by Tsunawake et al (1995a) among basketball players. Although the value in Group V was generally in agreement with these reported values, those in Group B (15.7%) was the lowest among the reported values.…”

“…In the present study, the % body fat of players was less than that of the reference group following the findings of Tsunawake et al and Filaire et al [17,59]. On comparing the values of % body fat with high level Spanish volleyball players and elite volleyball players of some Dinaric Alps countries, the male players of the present study had a higher value [24,47].…”

“…On comparing the results of the present study with the female volleyball players of Japan, America and Turkey, it was found that our female players had lower mean values for height and body weight. However, Japanese players had lower mean values for percent body fat [3,16,59]. Higher % body fat was observed in female players when compared to the study conducted by Nikolaidis et al [45].…”

SummaryStudy aim: In a volleyball game, multiple elements can influence competitive success, e.g. height, arm span and other anthropometric variables. The present cross-sectional study was undertaken to find out whether any differences exist between Indian inter-university male and female volleyball players as well as between players and a reference group in terms of anthropometry and handgrip strength.Materials and methods: The present cross-sectional research was conducted on 114 randomly selected Indian inter-university male (n = 50) and female (n = 64) volleyball players aged 18–25 years. An equal number of reference group individuals who did not participate in any exercise or training programme were also taken. Height, body weight, body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2), hand length, hand breadth, second digit length, fourth digit length, second and fourth digit ratio (2D/4D ratio), upper arm length, forearm length, total arm length, upper arm circumference, hip circumference; humerus and femur biepicondylar diameters, handgrip strength (dominant/non-dominant), arm muscle area, arm area, arm fat area, arm fat index, % body fat, and % lean body mass were measured with equipment including an anthropometer, sliding caliper, handgrip dynamometer and skinfold caliper using standard techniques. The data were analysed using SPSS version 17.0. Student’s t-test was applied for the comparison of data between players and the reference group. Differences between the groups were analysed using the oneway ANOVA test. Bonferroni post hoc test was applied after application of the ANOVA test. Effect size was also calculated. Statistical significance (p < 0.05) was indicated using a 5% level of probability.Results: Male volleyball players had higher mean values in height, body weight, hand length, hand breadth, second and fourth digit length, dominant and non-dominant handgrip strength, humerus and femur biepicondylar diameter, upper arm length, forearm length and total arm length, arm muscle area, arm area and percent lean body mass than the reference group. Similar findings were observed between female players and the reference group also. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05–0.001) were also observed between male and female players except BMI, 2D/4D ratio, and arm fat area. These findings were supported by the effect size (η) calculations.Conclusion: Volleyball players had better height, weight, hand and arm anthropometrics, handgrip strength and % lean body mass as compared to the reference group. Significant differences were found in anthropometry and handgrip strength between players and reference group individuals, suggesting that these findings could be very useful for player selection and talent identification in sports.

“…Volleyball and handball; Between handball and soccer, volleyball and soccer branches (p <0.01) and in the mean values of total body fat percentage; Handball and volleyball, handball and soccer branches (p <0.05) there was a statistically significant difference in the level. In a similar study, Tsunawake et al (1995) found that body fat percentage of volleyball women was 18%. Although the minimum percentage of body fat is aimed at in general of sports branches, today body fat ratios show differences between branches (Üstündal and Köker, 1998).…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of static and Warm-Up Protocols On Fitness Component and body fat percentage of athletes in different branches. In this study, 50 (25 female and 25 male) athletes from Mersin University High School of Physical Education and Sports volleyball, football, basketball, wrestling and handball branches were formed the sample group of the research. The anthropometric characteristics of the individuals Height and weight measurements were made to determine and body fat percentages were determined by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis. As engine performance tests, Vertical jump test, Sprint performance test (20m), sit-reach flexibility test were applied. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference between measurements. Data was tested for normality with the "Kolmogorov Smirnov Test". Kruskall Wallis tests were used for comparison among five groups. According to our findings no significant difference was observed between the male branches in terms of body fat percentage (%BF). Female soccer players were found to have the least body fat percentage when compared to other branches (p <0.01). Static and dynamic warming protocols it was found to have an effect statistically significant (p <0.05, P <0.001) in sit-reach flexibility, vertical jump and speed test values of athletes in different branches. As a result; it has been found that the static and dynamic warming protocolshave different effects in terms of the different sports branches and motor performance parameters. When both male and female performance values were examined, dynamic heating was found to be more dominant. It can be said that the physical and physiological values of the athletes are directly related to the performance of being suitable for the sports branch involved. For this reason, the use of warming protocols is recommended with regard to the results of the study presented here
