Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in somatotype, % fat, body mass index (BMI) between Sports Academy students (SAS) who were actively engaged in sports and Medical School students (MSS) Design and Material: Sixty (30 male, 30 female) Sports Academy students and twenty four (14 male, 10 female) Medical School students participated in this study as volunteers. Body composition was estimated from skinfold and somatotype was determined using the Heath-Carter method. Data analysis included antmpomethc measures and three somatotype variables (endomorphy, mespmorphy, ecto-morphy), were compared between groups and sexes, and the level of significance waïset at 0.05. Results: Thorax, abdominal and hip circumference of sports academy students were significantly higher (p<0.05). Suprailiac, abdominal, upper arm triceps and subscapular skinfold of medical school students were found significantly higher (p<0.01). Between the groups the mean mesomorphic (SAS: 2,42±1,24 and MSS: 2,29±1,24) and ectomorphic components (SAS: 3,01+0,93 and MSS: 2,79$\pm$1,02) and diameter of bicondylar of femur and humérus were not significantly different (p>0.05). The endo-morphic component was found significantly different (SAS: 2,15±0,75, MSS: 2,69±0,74) (p<0.05). The amount of endo-ectomorphs were higher in both groups. SAS were mainly classified as endo-ecto-morph, meso-ectomorph and ekto-mesomorph. The average values of mesomorphy and endomorphy were found different from sex point of view (p<0.001). In both groups, mean percent body fat and endomorphy was found significantly higher (p<0.05, p<0.001 respectively) in the females. Conclusion: The amount of endomorphy and % fat was higher in the MSS group than SAS group. The endomorphic component of females was found higher than males in both groups. The endo-ectomorphic, meso-ectomorphic and ekto-mesomorphic somatotypes were significantly higher in SAS. It may be concluded that amount of endomorphic component of active people decreases significantly.

Özet

Amaç: Sporla aktif olarak uğraşan Spor Akademisi öğrencileri ile bir grup Tıp Fakültesi öğrencileri arasında somatotip, vücut kitle indeksi ve % yağ oranı dağılımı araştırıldı. Materyal ve metod: Gönüllü 60 (30 erkek, 30 bayan) Spor Akademisi öğrencisi (SAO) ile 24 (14 erkek, 10 bayan) Tıp Fakültesi öğrencisi (TFO) çalışmaya katıldı. Vücut kompozisyonları skinfold ve somatotip değişkenlerinden yararlanılarak Heath-Carter yöntemi ile tanımlandı. Antropometrik ve somatotip değişkenleri (Endomorfi, mezomorfi ve ektomorfi) hesap/anarak cins ve grup olarak karşılaştırıldı. Anlamlılık düzeyi 0.05 olarak alındı. Bulgular: Toraks, abdominal ve kalça çevre ölçümleri SAÖ'de daha fazla olmak üzere farklı bulundu (p 0.05). Endomorfik komponent anlamlı derecede farklı bulundu (SAÖ: 2,15+0,75, TFO: 2,69±0,74) (p<0.05). Her iki grupta da endo-ektomorflar fazla idi. Spor akademisi öğrencilerinin sırasıyla endo-ektomorf, mezo-ektomorf ve ekto-me-zomorf tiplerde yoğunlaştığı gözlendi. Cinsler karşılaştırıldığında mezomorfi ve endomorfi ortalamaları farklı idi (p<0.001). İki grupta bayanlarda vücut % yağ oranı ve endomorfik komponent anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (sırasıyla; p<0.05, p<0.001). Sonuç: Endomorfi ve vücut % yağ oranı TFÖ' de SAÖ' ne göre yüksek bulundu. Endomorfik komponent bayanlarda erkeklere göre daha yüksek idi. Endo-ektomorf, mezo-ektomorf, ekto-mezomorf somatotipler SAÖ' de özellikle fazla bulundu. Bu çalışmaya göre özellikle endomorfik komponentin aktif insanlarda azaldığı söylenebilir.
