Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2006, Vol 16, Issue 35

Abstract

Introduction. The paper presents a continuation of the previous study which was published in 28th volume of Antropomotoryka. So as not to repeat particularly the subject matter, only an influence of sexual dimorphism on the motor achievements of women and men is presented. The purpose of the work.Paper's objective is to establish the impact of the basic body build traits and motor abilities on women's motor performance in physical activities of a multidirectional structure.Material and methods. The research material comprised somatic data and sports achievements of 100 the best women heptathlonists all the times from the ranking list on 1.01.2004. The same as previously material division and methods of analysis was applied. In order to evaluate of maximum muscle strength and index construction the results of shot put were taken. From the whole material three group with different sports level and four groups with extreme values of basic somatic traits were selected.Results. Correlation analysis enabled to assess an importance of the body height and mass as well as the Rohrer index in relation to the results in seven events. These results are thus determined by somatic and motor factors which are compatible or reciprocal in their impact on a sports result. In the last case they of course do lower a score.Conclusions. It follows from the analysis of material which was divided into groups differing by the sports level or by the body build characteristics, that there is necessity to select for the sake of research the possibly homogeneous groups with respect to the trait under consideration. However in study of that type it concerns the competitors of the highest level of training. Each event require the holistic approach in estimation of the motor abilities which do manifest in it, and also in assessment of importance of the somatic traits causing the sports level of an individual.
