“…A similar study substantiated a strong link between the anthropometric measurements of swimmers (such as height) and their recorded times (Jeyapal et al, 2017). The identification of athletes' somatotypes is a scientific approach that aids in understanding their physical capacities and the potential influence on performance, particularly in sports where body characteristics may affect biomechanics of movement and subsequent performance outcomes (Armendáriz et al, 2023;Gutnik et al, 2015;Jakovljević et al, 2022;Tóth et al, 2014). Researchers defined somatotype as a three-number system that depicts the endomorphic, mesomorphic, and ectomorphic parts of the human body in a way that always stays the same.…”

Introduction: The aim of this study was:1) to ascertain the anthropometric characteristics of Indian swimmers and 2) to investigate the potential association between these characteristics and countermovement jump metrics. Method: Forty-two national level Indian swimmers (18 females and 24 males) who regularly compete in national and/or international competitions, took part in the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed for body mass, stature, 8 skinfold sites, 3 girths, and 2 breadths. Somatotypes, body fat %, fat mass and lean body mass for all athletes were also calculated. A CMJ test was performed to measure vertical jump height, peak power output, and relative peak power output. Results: The Pearson correlation analysis of body composition variables and CMJ measures revealed a very large negative association between body fat percent and vertical jump height (R = - 0.726; p = 0.000) and between body fat percent and relative peak power (R = -0.757; p = 0.000); a large negative association between body fat percent and peak power (R = - 0.577; p = 0.000) and between fat mass and relative peak power (R = -0.560, p = 0.000); a moderately negative association between fat mass and vertical jump height (R = -0.490, p = 0.001); a very large positive association between lean body mass and peak power (R = 0.862, p = 0.000); and a large positive association between lean body mass and vertical jump height (R = 0.599, p = 0.000) and a large positive association between lean body mass and relative peak power (R = 0.530, p = 0.000); and a moderately positive association between BMI and peak power (R = 0.413, p = 0.007). Conclusion: There are significant differences in anthropometric characteristics when analyzing the anthropometric characteristics of Indian swimmers which could be attributed to the specific demands of each event. Anthropometric characteristics and body composition differences influence swim performance and vary according to gender, age and maturation status. A robust and significant positive correlation exists between lean body mass and vertical jump height suggesting that an enhancement of an individual's lean mass seems to have a positive impact on lower body power production in swimmers. Individualised training plans that focus on lower limb strength will have a potential positive effect on swim performance.

“…Sementara itu, tipe ectomorph umumnya memiliki tubuh yang ramping, bahu yang lebih sempit, tulang yang kecil dengan otot yang tipis, dan lengan serta tungkai yang relatif lebih. (18) Apabila ditelaah mengenai karakteristik diatas dapat disimpulkan tipe ectomorph memiliki rasio lebar bahu dan panjang leher yang kecil, sedangkan dua tipe lainnya memiliki rasio yang lebih besar.…”

Daya tahan kardiorespirasi merujuk pada kemampuan sistem jantung-paru serta otot yang digunakan dalam mengantarkan oksigen selama aktivitas fisik berkelanjutan. Daya tahan kardiorespirasi untuk setiap tipe tubuh (somatotype) pada umumnya berbeda. Perbedaan somatotype pada penelitian ini meliputi rasio lebar bahu terhadap panjang leher. Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan berupa untuk mencari tau hubungan rasio lebar bahu serta panjang leher kepada daya tahan kardiorespirasi anggota TBM Baswara Prada. Metode yang diterapkan dalam studi ini adalah observasional menggunakan pendekatan cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel dengan non-probability sampling melalui pendekatan consecutive sampling. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari 70 mahasiswa yang merupakan anggota TBM Baswara Prada. Penelitian ini memperoleh data primer melalui pengamatan langsung terhadap subjek penelitian, yang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi yang ditetapkan. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik Korelasi Pearson dengan data terdistribusi normal. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah sebagai berikut: Rata-rata rasio lebar biakromial dan panjang leher serta daya tahan kardiorespirasi; 2,83+0,35; 59,25+11,91; serta hubungan antara keduanya didapatkan signifikan negatif kuat (0,05) dengan koefisien korelasi (-0.720). Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah terdapat hubungan rasio lebar biacromial dan panjang leher dengan daya tahan kardiorespirasi yang bermakna negatif dan signifikan. Studi ini diharapkan dapat berkontribusi pada peningkatan kapasitas sumber daya manusia TBM Baswara dalam pemilihan anggota dengan indikator daya tahan kardiorespiratori yang baik dapat menggunakan rasio lebar bahu dan panjang leher.

Background and Study Aim. Since its inception in 1988, the EUROFIT database network has expanded significantly. This expansion has facilitated the use of standardized test batteries to evaluate physical fitness across diverse groups. This study therefore aimed to determine possible differences in EUROFIT scores between rural and urban male children in Kosovo aged 7 to 11 years and to suggest the underlying factors besides the differences. Material and Methods. The study involved 500 schoolchildren from Kosovo, both rural and urban, aged between 7 and 11 years. They were equally distributed within the total sample. Measurements were conducted using EUROFIT and anthropometric tests. The results were subsequently analyzed and compared using a Student's t-test. Results. The data revealed that urban children have a better starting point, benefiting from greater access to organized physical activities. Their diets, while less healthy, may enhance physical power. The rural environment fosters healthier growth and skill development in boys, particularly before and during the onset of puberty. Conclusions. Urban children should maintain their regular organized physical activities throughout the school period. This will help them match their rural peers in terms of motor and functional abilities. However, morphological traits are becoming more similar between these groups as they enter the prepubertal stage. Future studies should investigate potential differences in female samples. They should also extend to other countries and regions to provide a broader perspective.
