STRUCTURE OF MORPHOLOGIC CHARACTERISTICS OF BODYBUILDERS
Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2007, Vol 0, Issue 12
Abstract
Today body-building as a spport is well known and accepted world-wide. When scientifi researches on this fi eld are in question, it is evident that they are very rare partly and probably due to its real interpretation as well as due to its insuffi cient affi rmation and popularization here. Reason for this is also the wrong interpretation of the sport’s essence among sports-people – the body-builders themselves and among the experts and scientists from this fi eld. Intrest in the research of morphological sphere of body-builders was inspired by the fact that exercising body-building is a very specifi c physical activity that, due to its nature, demands body-builders to have specifi c morphological characteristics that characterize and differ them from other sports-people. The goal of this research was determining the structure of the morhologicall sphere of a body-builder. It was performed on the sample of 30 selected sportsmen, bodybuilders, of chronological age between 17 and 19 ( 6 months), members of the Sports' Club Strength ''Leskovac'', the Weight Lifters' Club '' Dubočica'' and the Body-building Club '' Dubočica'' from Leskovac. All the examiees have been submitted to training processes during a period longer than a year. For the purpose of determining the structure of the morphological sphere the Factor Analysis has been applied. Based on the data from the matrix of the Factor Structure the isolated factors can be interpreted in the following manner: The fi rst isolated factor in the sphere of applied anthropometric variables can be defi ned as a dimension of the body-volume and the transversal dimensionality of the skeleton sine it’s best defi ned by the following variables: the chest-circumference (AOGKS), the upper-arm circumference (AONAD), the thigh circumference (AOBUT), the body-weight (AMAST) and the shoulder-width (ASIRA). The second isolated factor in the sphere of applied anthropometric variables can be defi ned as the longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton since it’s best defi ned by the following variables: the body-height (AVIST), the leg-length (ADUNO) and the arm-length (ADURU). The third isolated factor in the sphere of applied anthropometric variables can be defi ned as the transversal dimensionality of the skeleton since it is best defi ned by the following variables: the pelvis width (ASIKA), the width of hips. The fourth isolated factor in the sphere of applied anthropometric variables can be described as a dimension of the fat under-skin tissue since it is best defi ned by the following variables: the upper-arm skinfold (AKNNA), the back skin-fold (ANKLE) and the belly skin-fold (AKNTR).
