Objectives: The aims of this study were to comparison and describe the anthropometric characteristics physical fitness and physiological profile of the first 5 and the lower ranked elite male Iranian national table tennis players, who participated in table tennis championship, to compare the anthropometric data, physical fitness and physiological profile of the first 5elite tennis players on the ranking with the lower ranked players, and to establish an anthropometric and physiological profile chart for elite tennis players.
Methods: On the direction of this aim 16 male National table tennis Players' participated in this study. According to ranked some physical fitness, physiological and anthropometric variables were recorded of each subject. In this research; Physical fitness was determined using the following test: 1) speed; 36m sprint, 2) shoulder, back and hamstring flexibility; sit and reach, 3) lower limb power; side jump, 4) Anaerobic power; wingate test, 5) Aerobic power; 1600 m running, 6) reaction time; visual reaction time, 7) mussel endurance; sit- ups. In addition to anthropometric analysis (height, weight, siting height, arm length), body composition and somatotype of participants have been assessed. The kolmogorof-smirnov test was applied to determine the nature of data distribution. Since a normal distribution was confirmed, a t- test for independent samples was performed to examine statistical differences between groups and p value < 0.05 was considered to be significant.
Results: There were no significant differences in height, jump, shoulder, back and hamstring flexibility, speed, visual reaction time, anaerobic power and BMI between the first 5 and the lower ranked table tennis players, while there were significant differences in weight, side jump, aerobic power, present body fat and somatotype component. A mesomorph – endomorph somatotype was registered for the lower ranked and somatotype of first 5 table tennis players could be defined as mesomorph – ectomorph.
Conclusions: As a result, Table tennis in (mesomorph-Ektomorf) were dominant body type and it is determined that it is important to aerobic power.

Iran Masa Tenisi Milli Takımı Seçmelerinde Seçilen ve Elenen Sporcuların Bazı Fiziksel, Fizyolojik ve Antropometrik Parametrelerinin Karşılaştırılması

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma; Iran masa tenisi milli takımı seçmelerinde seçilen ve elenen sporcuların
bazı fiziksel, fizyolojik ve antropometrik parametrelerinin belirlenmesi ve karşılaştırılması
amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda sıralamada ilk 5 sırada yer alan sporcuların
fiziksel uygunluk ve antropometrik profilleri ile alt sırada yer alan sporcuların verileri
karşılaştırarak elit tenis oyuncuları için antropometrik ve fizyolojik profil grafiği kurmak
önem arz etmektedir.
Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 16 erkek Ulusal masa tenisi oyuncusu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır.
Sporcuların bazı fiziksel uygunluk, fizyolojik ve antropometrik değişkenleri test edilmiştir.
Fiziksel uygunluk, aşağıdaki testler kullanılarak belirlenmiştir: 1) sürat; 36m sprint testi, 2)
omuz, sırt ve hamstring esnekliği; otur- eriş testi, 3) alt ekstremite gücü; Yana atlama testi, 4)
Anaerobik güç; wingate testi, 5) Aerobik güç; 1600 m koşu testi, 6) Reaksiyon süresi; görsel
reaksiyon testi, 7) dayanıklılık; 20 mt mekik (shuttle run) testi. Antropometrik analiz için;
boy, kilo, otur boy ve kol uzunluğu testeri uygulanmıştır. Veri dağılım niteliğini belirlemek
için Kolmagorof-Smirnov testi uygulanmıştır, Verilerin normal dağılım gösterdiği
doğrulanmış olup, istatistiksel farklılıkları incelemek için bağımsız t-test yapılmıştır.
Anlamlılık düzeyi (p < 0.05) olarak kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Elde edilen bulgulara göre; Boy uzunluğu, esneklik, sürat, görsel reaksiyon,
Anaerobik güç ve VKİ değerleri ilk 5 sırada yer alan sporcular ile alt sırada yer alan sporcular
arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır. Sporcuların yana atlama testi,
vücut yağ yüzdesi, aerobik güç ve Somatotip değerleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklar tespit
edildi. Sıralamaya göre ilk 5 e giren sporcularda mezomorf – ektomorf baskın bulunurken,
Alt sırada yer alanlarda ise mezomorf – endomorf baskın bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak; Masa tenisçilerde mezomorf-Ektomorf vücut tipinin baskın olduğu ve
aerobik gücün önemli olduğu tespit edilmiştir
