Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2012, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this study was to estimate body composition and physical fitness of soccer and volleyball players at the age of 16-18. There were examined over 315 soccer and 165 volleyball players, divided into three age groups: 16, 17 and 18. Their body composition was evaluated by BIA method using Tanita analyzer – BC 418 MA. Aerobic power was assessed by PWC170 test and Wingate test was used to assess anaerobic power. The results were subjected to the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Successive age groups of volleyball players were characterized to have a larger body size in comparison with soccer players. In the successive age groups of soccer and volleyball players an increase in absolute values of VO2max and PWC170 indices was observed. The relative values of the VO2max and PWC170 indices for both soccer and volleyball players reached a peak at the age of 17. The relative values of the VO2max and PWC170 indices for soccer players aged 18 were significantly higher than for volleyball players at the same age. Total work and maximum power indices in the Wingate test increased in successive age groups of soccer and volleyball players and were higher for volleyball players. The level of anaerobic power of soccer and volleyball players was high. 1. The peak values of the indices characterizing the relative aerobic power obtained by the soccer and volleyball players at the age of 17 show the ineffectiveness of the loads of aerobic training applied at the age of junior senior (18-19 years old). 2. The high level and increase of the values of indices characterizing the anaerobic power in successive age groups of soccer and volleyball players, point to a good selection of players and an effective influence of training loads.
