Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, gelecekte genç insanlara ve çocuklara beden
eğitimini öğretecek Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Bölümü öğrencilerinin antropometrik
özelliklerini değerlendirmektir.

Yöntem:
Çalışmaya rekreasyonel olarak egzersiz yapmakta olan 258 erkek beden eğitimi
ve spor bölümü öğrencisi (yaş: 22.40±2.75 yıl, boy: 178.67±9.43 cm, vücut
ağırlığı: 73.44±13.64 kg) vücut kütle indeksi (BMI), ponderal Indeks (RPI),
bel-kalça oranı (WHR), vücut yağ yüzdesi, somatotip, Kormik Indeks, Monourier
Indeks, akromio-iliak indeks, Martine indeks, bi-akromial indeks ve kalça
indeksi açısından değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Analiz Sonuçlarına göre katılımcıların vücut kütle
indeksi (BMI) 22.86±2.66 kg/m2, RPI 42.89±1.77 cm/kg0.333, WHR, 0.79±%0.05,
vücut yağ yüzdesi, 14.43±4.41%, endomorfi bileşeni 3.5, mezomorfi bileşeni 4.3,
ektomorfi bileşeni 2.9 Kormik indeks 51.51±%1.58, Monourier indeksi
94.31±%6.10, akromio-iliak indeks 63.88±%6.61, Martine indeksi 6.11±%0.48,
bi-akromial indeks, %22.32±1.86 ve kalça indeksi 13.89±%0.97 olarak tespit
edildi.

Sonuç: Katılımcılar, BMI, WHR ve vücut yağ yüzdesi
açısından normal ve sağlıklı olarak bulundu. 
Orta boyutlu gövde, sub-makroskelia, dar üst vücut ve dar kalçaya sahip
olarak değerlendirilen katılımcıların mezomorfik bir yapıya sahip oldukları
görülmüştür.

Anthropometric Profiles of Physical Education and Sports Students

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the anthropometric attributes of physical education and sports students, who will teach physical education to children and young people in the future.

Method: Two hundred fifty-eight male physical education and sports students (age: 22.40 ± 2.75 years, height: 178.67 ± 9.43 cm, body weight: 73.44 ± 13.64 kg) who are exercising  recreationally were assessed in terms of body mass index (BMI), ponderal index (RPI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), percentage of body fat, somatotype, Cormique index, Monourier index, acromio-iliac index, Martine index, bi-acromial index, and hip index.

Results: The results were as follows: BMI 22.86±2.66 kg/m2, RPI 42.89±1.77 cm/kg0.333, WHR 0.79 ± 0.05%, body fat percentage 14.43±4.41%, endomorphy component; 3.5, mesomorphy component; 4.3, ectomorphy component; 2.9 Cormique index 51.51±1.58%, Monourier index 94.31±6.10%, acromio-iliac index 63.88 ± 6.61%, Martine index 6.11±0.48%, bi-acromial index 22.32±1.86%, and hip index 13.89 ± 0.97%.

Conclusion: The subjects were found to be normal, healthy individuals in terms of BMI, WHR, and % body fat. They were found as mesomorphs who were also assessed to have mid-sized trunk, sub-macroskelia, a narrow upper body and narrow hips.
