Influence of Body Composition Parameters on Anaerobic Strength of Lower Extremities in Female Football Players

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of body composition on the anaerobic strength of the lower extremities, as well as the prediction of body composition on the results of anaerobic ability in professional football players. Materials and Method. The sample of respondents consists of female football players who compete in the highest rank of the competition, the Serbian Super League. The total number of respondents included in the study was 21 female football players (age 19.38 ± 3.69, body height 166.48 ± 6.17 cm, body weight 59.98 ± 7.09 kg). The study is of a transversal nature and testing was done in the pre-competition period. The sample of measuring instruments used in the research are body composition and assessment of anaerobic strength of the lower extremities. Assessment of body composition was performed indoors using a multifrequency bioelectric impedance (Inbody 770). Variables for estimating the anaerobic strength of the lower extremities were obtained using a bicycle ergometer (Monark 839E) in the Wingate Anaerobic Test. Results. The results of body composition show a statistically significant influence on the prediction of maximum anaerobic strength of the lower extremities in professional female football players (p < 0.05), as well as on the overall work in the anaerobic zone and the mean values ​​of anaerobic strength. Regression analysis of the influence of body composition on the parameters of maximum strength in (W/kg) and fatigue rate does not show statistically significant results. Conclusion. There is a statistically significant influence of body composition, such as: body weight, lean body mass (%), muscle mass in absolute and relative values, on the values ​​of maximum anaerobic strength, mean values ​​of anaerobic strength and overall work in professional female footballers.

The effect of special exercises using the visual stimuli device on the speed of motor response, visual tracking, the skills of cutting and dispersing the ball, and various defensive movements for young handball players

“…The game of handball is one of the games that has witnessed great development at the level of the countries of the world and has begun to spread rapidly because it contains technical skills and various plans that are interesting for the viewer, it can be considered one of the games that work to spread the spirit of cooperation and unify efforts to reach the high sporting level (García et al, 2013). Therefore, the researchers were keen that the exercises include diversity in style in terms of the tools used and the directions and distances in which the players move according to the visual stimuli and repetitions to spread the spirit of competition and the desire to perform the exercise, which helped to learn and train these skills quickly (Lilić et al, 2020). Using modern methods, innovation, and diversification in educational units contributes to learning defensive skills (Ferrari et al, 2019).…”

Comparative Analysis of Morphological Indicators of Street Workout Athletes with Different Training Experience

“…The purpose of these methods is to determine the probability of achieving success and increasing sportsmanship. Methods of analysis of physical development (Podrigalo, Cynarski, Rovnaya, Volodchenko, Halashko, & Volodchenko, 2019;Joksimović, Skrypchenko, Yarymbash, Fulurija, Nasrolahi, & Pantović, 2019;Lilić, Joksimovic, D' Angelo, Karišik, Hamad, & Gardašević, 2020), psychophysiological characteristics (Volodchenko, Podrigalo, & Aghyppo, 2017;Wolska et The main criteria for dividing street workout athletes are age and training experience. In our opinion, the training experience is the most important.…”
