Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of this study was investigate relation Between anthropometrics and Body type endomorph,mesomorph and Ectomorph with factors aerobic fitness, speed and power. The sample includes 45 unathletic male students of Tehran University (aged 19-25 years old) who forms three groups of 15 as a whole, that is, 15 ones endomorph, 15 ones mezomorph and 15 ones ectomorph. The physical fitness factor was measured through a special related method designed by Heath, carter and Seldon. Physical fitness tests included: running in 60 meter; vertical jump; board jump; medicine ball throw; Harvard step test. The statistical analysis of correlation coefficient has best reflected the conception that there are meaningful relationships between ectomorph component and aerobic fitness .The relationship Between body fat, body weight and aerobic fitness was negative; The relationship between body weight and feet power, hand power was negative .The relationships between skin fold fat, foot power and body’s general speed were considered being as negative. Finally the relationship between girth arm and hand power was considered being as meaningful. Thus somatotype and anthropometry are two indicators for predict physical fitness of adult men.and They can also help coaches in identifying and choosing new sport athletes
