Morphofunctional development level of candidates for ZSMS in Zakopane on the background of peer population – the estimation
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2008, Vol 18, Issue 43
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to define the level of motor fitness and basic somatic parameters of 15-year-olds, candidates for ZSMS in Zakopane on the background of non-training peers. The completion of the research comedown to answering the following questions: (1) Do the candidates for ZSMS differ from all-Poland population in morphostructural predispositions? (2) Is the level of separate motor abilities demonstrated by the candidates higher than that, which is typical for the rest of population? (3) Are the differences between the candidates and the all-Poland population nearly the same for both sexes?Material and methods. The research was carried out on the group of candidates for LO ZSMS in Zakopane (105 girls and 180 boys), who practice winter sports. The comparative material formed the results of their non-training peers from Krakow conurbation and Eurofit-based centile grids for evaluation abilities. During the research, basic somatic parameters and chosen motor abilities (such as strength ability in local aspect, muscle’s resistance to tiredness, endurance, non-acid lactate maximal anaerobic power, balance and flexibility) were analyzed with the help of commonly used and verified motor tests.Results and conclusions. Judging from the values of basic somatic parameters (body height and body mass), training groups are in the middle of population, however, in the field of body components their results are much better (especially women) and they have advantage in all motor tests. Such traits as difference between training and non-training 15-year-olds and sexual dimorphism are more noticeable in groups of women.
