Role of Muscle Mass and Waist Hip Ratio on Functional Performance of Junior Tennis Players
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Reviews - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective of the study was to find out the correlation of muscle mass and Waist- Hip ratio with functional performance of junior tennis players. A total number of 100 junior tennis players (Mean age 15.34+ 2.16years, mean height 170.54 + 5.43 centimetres, and mean weight 65.36 +3.41kilogram) participated in the study. Subjects were recruited from different tennis academies all over Delhi and National Capital Region and written parental or guardian consent were obtained before the players were permitted to participate. The anthropometric data (muscle mass and waist hip ratio) of each athlete has measured and has been correlated with all the three functional performance tests. The functional performance tests used in the study were sergeant chalk jump test, 40 yard sprint test and T test. The best score from each functional performance test were taken from each test and recorded. Pearson’s correlation test was used to correlate the anthropometric data and functional performance tests. The study result showed that there was no correlation exists between Waist hip ratio and the entire three functional performance tests. Waist – Hip Ratio can be considered as a health indicator than a performance indicator. At the same time there is a positive correlation exist between muscle mass and functional performance.
