Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the somatotype characteristics of elite American Football Players. The Heath/Carter anthropometric somatotype method was applied to 28 basis players (15 backs and 13 linemens) aged 20.96±1.35 yrs of age. Most of somatotypes were dominant mesomorphs (X= 7.39) for the players. A higher mesomorphic component was a more important factor determining body composition in the American football players.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı elit Amerikan futbol oyuncularının somatotip özelliklerini değerlendirmekti. Heath-Carter antropometrik somatotip metod yaşlarının ortalaması 20.96±1.35 yıl olan 28 asil oyuncuya (15 geride ve 13 çizgide oynayanlar) uygulandı. Oyuncular için somatotiplerin çoğu mezomorfta (X=7.39) dominanttı. Yüksek mezomorfik komponent Amerikan futbol oyuncularında vücut kompozisyonunun belirlenmesinde önemli bir faktördür.
