One of the most important factors affecting performance is body composition. Therefore, the fat and lean body mass of athletes has been the focus of scientific studies. The main purpose of present study was to determine the body composition of elite male Turkish athletes, to assess the situation of athletes, to reveal the differences and similarities between the branches. Body composition of the sample consisting of fencing (n: 10), wrestling (n: 21) and weightlifters (n: 9) was examined according to the two-component model. According to Anthropometric Standardization Reference Manual (ASRM) and International Biological Program (IBP), height, weight, biceps, triceps, subscapular, supraspinale, suprailiac and calf skinfold thickness (ST) measurements were taken. Durnin-Womersley Formula was used to calculate the body density of athletes and Siri Formula was used to calculate body fat percentages. The body fat of percentages the fencers, wrestlers and weightlifters were 16,82%, 15,41% and 17,68%, respectively. The athletes' Body Mass Index (BMI), calf ST and lean body mass values were significantly different (p<0,05). According to the results of the research, it was concluded that although the fat ratios differed between the branches, it was not statistically significant.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, yüzme branşı ile ilgilenen adölesan sporcuların vücut bileşimlerini inceleyerek, bu değerlerin 50 m serbest stil yüzme dereceleri ile arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Çalışmaya, Yüzme İhtisas Spor Kulübü’nde düzenli yüzme sporu yapan 14-18 yaş arası bireyler gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Toplam 21 (11 kadın, 10 erkek) yüzücünün katıldığı çalışmada, sporcuların cinsiyet, boy uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı, yaş, antrenman yaşı, vücut yağ ağırlıkları, beden kitle indeksleri, vücut yağ oranları, toplam vücut suları, protein- mineralleri, yağsız vücut ağırlıkları, gövde kas ağırlıkları, alt ekstremite kas ağırlıkları, üst ekstremite kas ağırlıkları ve bazal metabolizma hızları ölçülmüş ve sporcuların 50 m serbest stil yüzme dereceleri ile ilişki boyutları incelenmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin normallik dağılımları Shapiro-Wilk normallik testiyle yapılmış ve tüm verilerin normal dağılım gösterdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Değişkenlerin yüzme performansı ile olan ilişkisi ise Pearson korelasyon testi aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan korelasyon analizine göre; kadın katılımcıların vücut bileşenleri ve 50 m serbest stil yüzme dereceleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmazken (p>0,05), erkek katılımcıların toplam vücut suları, protein, mineral, yağsız vücut ağırlıkları, gövde kas ağırlıkları, üst ekstremite kas ağırlıkları ve 50 m serbest stil yüzme dereceleri arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu gözlemlenmiştir (p
