Title: Comparison of somatotype profiles in ice hockey players of national team 1976 and national team U19 season 2017-2018. Objectives: The main aim of this thesis is to compare the level of somatotype profile changes between national team of Czechoslovakia from 1976 and Czech republic national team U19 playing in season 2017-2018. Methods: For purpose of study the observation research method was used. Research samples were made of 41 ice hockey players, specifically players of Czechoslovak national team from 1976 (n=24) and players of Czech national team U19 in season 2017-2018 (n=17). The somatotype was determined using Heath and Carter method (1990). To determine the degree of differences between the given parameters, the effect size of Cohen d was used, d ≥ 0,5 a d ≥ 0,8 depending on the hypothesis formulated. Results: Results showed, that the endomorphy of U19 players was significantly greater compared to ČSSR 1976 players (Cohen d = 0,65). The biggest difference was revealed at supraspinale skinfold (Cohen d = 1,06). On the other hand, we found significantly lower mesomporhy in U19 players (Cohen d = 1,63). The cause of this lower mesomoprhy was mainly due to significantly lower bone robusticity of the humerus (Cohen d = 0,81) and femur (Cohen d = 1,19). Keywords: somatotype, ice hockey,...

Hence, this study aimed at comparing the anthropometrical profile, the body composition, the somatotype and the vertical jumps of the beach volleyball players. This study consists of 79 male beach volleyball players, being forty nine (n=49) Brazilian participants of the National Circuit and thirty (n=30) of 15 countries participating in the XV Pan American Games. In order to analyze the vertical jumps of the Brazilian the participants were allocated into two groups (G1 and G2) in agreement with the national ranking of their teams. The vertical jump protocol developed by Smith and collaborators was used to evaluate the vertical jumps of spike and block. The Heath-Carter anthropometrical technique (1990) was used for calculating the somatotype. The Student s t test with the Bonferroni adjustment was used to calculate the differences among the investigated variables. The multiple regression analysis was used to identify the contributions of the anthropometrical variables in the performance of the vertical jumps and the multivariance analysis was used to calculate the differences among the components of the somatotype. The Brazilian athletes of G1 were better than G2 in the spike jump (p <0.01), block jump (p <0.01) and in the block difference (p <0.01). The prediction model of the spike jump of G2 included the body mass and standing spike reach (adjusted R2 = 0.77), the body mass and the standing block reach were also included in the model of the block jump (adjusted R2 = 0.73). The regression model of G1 was not statistically significant. As for the somatotype, statistically significant differences were found between the Brazilians and the Pan Americans (Wilks' lambda = 0.498; p <0.05). The Brazilian somatotype was classified as balanced mesomorph (2.7-4.3-3.0) and the Pan American somatotype as endomorphic mesomorph (3.5-4.6-2.4). As to the specific position of the block game (2.8-4.3-2.9) and the defense game (2.6-4.4-3.0), the Brazilian somatotype was classified as balanced mesomorph and the Pan American somatotype, the block (3.7-4.4-2.4) and the defense (3.4-4.9-2.3), was classified as endomorphic mesomorph. In conclusion, the vertical jump height (spike and block) influences the male Brazilian beach volleyball players performance. The physical type of the Brazilian blockers and defenders was similar with relationship to the somatotype. The Brazilian and Pan American beach volleyball players differ in terms of kinanthropometric characteristics. This work had a multidisciplinary feature with the participation of several departments and laboratories, like the Physiotherapy Department, the Nutrition Department, the Physical Education Laboratory, thus corroborating the multidisciplinary research feature / As caracter?sticas cineantropom?tricas s?o utilizadas pela ci?ncia do esporte como crit?rios de sele??o e detec??o de talentos. Dentro deste contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo comparar o perfil antropom?trico, a composi??o corporal, o somatotipo e os saltos verticais de atletas de voleibol de praia. Participaram do presente estudo 79 atletas de voleibol de praia masculino, sendo quarenta e nove (n=49) brasileiros participantes do Circuito Nacional e trinta (n=30) de 15 pa?ses participantes dos XV Jogos Pan Americanos. Para analisar os saltos verticais dos brasileiros os sujeitos foram alocados em dois grupos (G1 e G2) de acordo com o ranking nacional dos seus times. Utilizou-se o protocolo de saltos verticais de Smith e colaboradores, para avaliar os saltos verticais de ataque e bloqueio. A t?cnica antropom?trica de Heath e Carter (1990) foi utilizada para o c?lculo do somatotipo. Teste t de Student com ajuste de Bonferroni foi utilizado para calcular diferen?as entre as vari?veis investigadas. A an?lise de regress?o m?ltipla foi utilizado para identificar as contribui??es das vari?veis antropom?tricas na performance dos saltos verticais e a an?lise multivariada de vari?ncia foi utilizada para calcular diferen?as entre os componentes do somatotipo. Os atletas brasileiros de G1 foram maiores no salto de ataque (p<0,01), salto de bloqueio (p<0,01) e na diferen?a de bloqueio (p<0,01) do que G2. O modelo de predi??o do salto de ataque de G2 incluiu a massa do corpo e a envergadura de ataque (R2 ajustado= 0,77) e tamb?m no modelo do salto de bloqueio foi inclu?do a massa do corpo e a envergadura de bloqueio (R2 ajustado= 0,73). O modelo de regress?o do G1 n?o foi estatisticamente significante. Quanto ao somatotipo foram encontradas diferen?as estatisticamente significantes entre brasileiros e pan americanos (Wilks lambda= 0,498; p<0,05). O somatotipo dos brasileiros foi classificado como mesomorfo balanceado (2,7-4,3-3,0) e o dos Pan Americanos como mesomorfo endom?rfico (3,5-4,6-2,4). Quanto ? posi??o espec?fica de jogo de bloqueio (2,8-4,3-2,9) e de defensa (2,6-4,4-3,0) o somatotipo dos brasileiros foi classificado como mesomorfo balanceado e o dos pan americanos de bloqueio (3,7-4,4-2,4) e defesa (3,4-4,9-2,3) foi classificado como mesomorfo endom?rfico. Em conclus?o, a altura do salto vertical (ataque e bloqueio) influencia a performance de atletas de voleibol de praia masculino brasileiros. O tipo f?sico dos bloqueadores e defensores brasileiros foi similar quanto ao somatotipo. Os atletas brasileiros e pan americanos de voleibol de praia se diferenciam quanto ?s caracter?sticas cineantropom?tricas. O trabalho teve um car?ter multidisciplinar com a participa??o de v?rios departamentos e laborat?rios, como o Departamento de Fisioterapia, Departamento de Nutri??o, Laborat?rio de Educa??o F?sica, atestando-se o car?ter multidisciplinar da pesquisa

Methods: The sample, male runners (n=39) competing at the regional level in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, had height, body mass, skinfolds, limb circumference and skeletal breadths measured. Then, the somatotype was calculated by Health-Carter method. Races (100 m and 400 m) were held to assess athletic performance. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the total sample, as well as for the 100 m and 400 m groups, and established four subgroups, named quartiles. For analysis between groups of runners (100 m x 400 m) was used Student's t test for independent samples. To examine the relationship between the race times and anthropometric variables, was used the Pearson correlation test. The somatotype dispersion distance and somatotype spatial distance were calculated among subgroups. One-way analysis of variance, the Wilcoxon test followed of Tukey post test, and correlation analysis were used with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Somatotype with mesomorphy and ectomorphy dominance was exhibited by 100 m and 400 m athletes. Endomorphy was low in both groups, especially in 400m runners, who had more elongated body types than 100 m runners. When separately compared by athletic performance quartile, 100 m sprinters of better qualifications (G100-G1) had somatotype with dominant mesomorphy, whereas 400 m runners had somatotype with dominant ectomorphy. A significant correlation (r = -0.55, p=0.008) between calf circumference and 100 m race times was observed showing the importance of muscularity, whereas a significant correlation was found between height and 400 m race times (r = -0.53, p=0.02) showing the importance of linearity. Conclusion: Runners of 100 and 400 may show differences in physical characteristics, depending on the level of athletic performance. Anthropometric periodic evaluations may help in the training process of these athletes. However, more specific assessment parameters should be taken into account, because somatotype by itself has not power to predict whether an individual will succeed in racing speed / Objetivo: Investigar as caracter?sticas f?sicas e examinar a associa??o entre o somatotipo e o desempenho em corredores de 100 e 400m. M?todos: As caracter?sticas antropom?tricas e o desempenho atl?tico de corredores de 100 e 400m foram avaliados e comparados. A amostra foi composta de corredores do sexo masculino (n = 39) de n?vel regional no Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. Estatura, massa corporal, dobras cut?neas, circunfer?ncia do membro e di?metros ?sseos foram medidos. Em seguida, o somatotipo foi calculado pelo m?todo de Heath-Carter. Corridas de 100 e 400 m foram realizadas para avaliar o desempenho atl?tico. Para a an?lise entre os grupos de corredores (100m x 400m) foi utilizado o teste t de Student para amostras independentes. Foram calculadas estat?sticas descritivas para a amostra total, bem como para os grupos de 100 e 400m e estabelecidos quatro subgrupos, nomeados quartis. Na compara??o dos subgrupos oriundos da distribui??o quartil foi aplicada a an?lise de vari?ncia de um crit?rio (ANOVA), seguida do p?s-teste de Tukey. Para analisar a rela??o entre os tempos de corrida e as vari?veis antropom?tricas, foi utilizado o teste de correla??o de Pearson. A compara??o entre os quartis foi feita utilizando-se a dist?ncia de dispers?o entre os somatotipos (DDS) e a dist?ncia espacial entre os somatotipos (DES) para a an?lise das dispers?es bidimensionais e tridimensionais dos somatotipos24. Como crit?rio para determina??o da exist?ncia de diferen?as entre os grupos observou-se para a DDS valores &#8805; 2 e para a DES &#8805; 124. Em toda a an?lise foi considerado um p valor padr?o de 0,05 e intervalo de confian?a de 95%. Resultados: Atletas de 100 e 400m apresentaram somatotipo com domin?ncia de mesomorfia e ectomorfia. A endomorfia foi baixa em ambos os grupos, especialmente em corredores de 400m que apresentaram tipo f?sico mais alongado do que os corredores de 100m. Quando comparados separadamente por quartis de desempenho, corredores de 100m de melhor qualifica??o (G100-G1) tinham somatotipo com domin?ncia de mesomorfia, enquanto os corredores de 400m de melhor qualifica??o (G400-G1) tinham somatotipo com ectomorfia dominante. Foi observada uma correla??o significativa (r = -0,55, p = 0,008) entre a circunfer?ncia de perna e os tempos na corrida de 100m o que mostra a import?ncia da muscularidade, enquanto que uma correla??o significativa (r = -0,53, p = 0,02) foi encontrada entre a estatura e os tempos na corrida de 400m mostrando a import?ncia da linearidade. Conclus?o: Corredores de 100 e 400m apresentam algumas diferen?as nas caracter?sticas f?sicas, dependendo do n?vel de desempenho atl?tico. Avalia??es antropom?tricas peri?dicas podem ajudar no processo de treinamento destes atletas. No entanto, par?metros de avalia??o mais espec?ficos devem ser levados em conta, pois o somatotipo, por si s?, n?o tem poder para predizer se um indiv?duo ter? sucesso em corridas de velocidade

The sample was composed of athletes, n = 14, aged 15.0 ? 0.88 years, weight (Kg) 58.3 ? 5.90 and height (cm) 169.4 ? 7.97, members of the referred team. For data collection Cummins & Midlo s (1942), o dermatoglyphic method and Heath & Carter s (1967) somatotypic method were used and to evaluate physical qualities, 2400m, 50m, Shuttle Run, abdominal , Sargent test and medicine-ball toss were performed. Fingerprints show that the group presents genetic predisposition for the following physical qualities: explosive force and velocity. As to somatotype, the group was endo-ectomorphic. At physical evaluation the group presented low Vo2 max values and reasonable levels of explosive force, local muscular endurance, agility and velocity. We conclude that: according to the dermatoglyphic model observed, the group needs training strategies to improve coordination and agility; somatotype reveals the necessity for reducing fat levels and increasing muscular mass; the evaluation of physical qualities demonstrates the need for better physical preparation. This study traces the profile of the under-17 volleyball player from Rio Grande do Norte, with respect to genetic and somatotypic aspects and physical qualities, which will serve as a parameter for future state teams / O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar as caracter?sticas dermatogl?ficas, somatot?picas e das qualidades f?sicas das atletas de voleibol da sele??o infanto-juvenil do estado do Rio Grande do Norte. A amostra foi composta de atletas, n=14 com idade 15,0?0,88, peso (Kg) 58,3?5,90 e estatura (cm) 169,4?7,97, convocadas para a referida sele??o. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se o m?todo dermatogl?fico de Cummins & Midlo (1942), o m?todo somatot?pico de Heath & Carter (1967) e para avaliar as qualidades f?sicas os testes de 2400m, 50m, Shuttle Run, abdominal, Sargent test e arremesso de medicine-ball. As impress?es digitais demonstram que o grupo apresenta uma predisposi??o gen?tica para as qualidades f?sicas: for?a explosiva e velocidade. Quanto a somatotipia o grupo caracterizou-se como endo-ectom?rfico. Na avalia??o f?sica o grupo apresentou baixos valores para Vo2m?x e valores razo?veis para for?a explosiva, RML, agilidade e velocidade. Conclu?mos que: de acordo com o modelo dermatogl?fico encontrado, o grupo necessita de estrat?gias de treinamento para melhorar as atividades coordenativas e agilidade; o somatotipo revela necessidade de diminuir o percentual de gordura e aumentar a massa muscular; a avalia??o das qualidades f?sicas demonstra necessidade de uma melhor prepara??o f?sica. A partir desse estudo ficou caracterizado o perfil da atleta infanto-juvenil de voleibol do Rio Grande do Norte, nos aspectos gen?ticos, somatot?picos e de qualidades f?sicas que servir? de par?metro para futuras sele??es

This thesis Specialization of American football players in relation to their somatotype deals with the differences in somatotypes of American football players in the Czech Republic. Its main aim is to describe the somatotypes of American football players from the side of their player specialization and their participation in the 1st and 2nd league of American football in the Czech Republic. For successful achievement of the main aim are defined partial aims of the thesis, which are primarily to find out the somatotypes of players of all specializations and then to compare these somatotypes from different perspectives. The whole purpose of this description of somatotypes is mainly to identify the role of somatotype on differentiation of players in individual game positions. The sample of this work is made up of 70 probands located across all players' specializations in the 1st and 2nd league of American football in the Czech Republic. Somatic measurements of parameters necessary to determine their somatotypes were used on all subjects. The measured values were processed and statistically analyzed through calculations and spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel and through somatocharts. The results of this thesis show us somatotypes of players of all specializations, but also differences between somatotypes...

Title: Somatotype Comparison in Short Distance and Long Distance Triathlon Objectives: The goal is to determine the somatotype of triathletes competing in half ironman distance triathlons with triathletes competing in short distance triathlons. Methods: The Heath and Carter method was used for measuring the anthropometric parameters. The gained data were used in specific equations to calculate each of the three somatotype compoments. The anthropometric measurements involved participants of the Czechman Tour races. Results: By gaining appropriate anthropometric data, the average somatotype of triathletes competing in half distance events (2,1 - 4,4 - 2,9) falls into the category of ectomorphic mesomorph, whereas the somatotype of competitors in short distance events (2,1 - 4,4 - 2,9) falls into the category of mesomorphic ectomorphs. Keywords: somatotype, triathlon, body type, the Heath and Carter method

Title: Comparison of selected anthropometric parameters of competitive quadrathletes and racing kayakers. Objectives: The aim of this work is to assess the somatotype and anthropometric characteristics in elite athletes in marathon kayakers and quadrathletes. Methods: This research included the analysis and comparison of two groups of athletes. Using the Heath-Carter system of measurement, somatotypes were calculated using the computer formula, 'Somatotype - Calculation and Analysis'. Body composition was determined through the use of skinfold calipers SK in conjunction with noninvasive bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Specifically, the Tanita 980 MS and BIA 2000 measurement units. Results: Two research samples were developed (speed kayakers as one, quadrathletes as the other), whose results (set average) were compared. On the basis of anthropometric data and calculations, it was found that both research samples corresponded in their somatotype category, ectomorphic mesomorph. According to this research, the speed kayakers (with a focus on marathon distances), are generally taller and heavier than the quadrathlete sample, yet had relatively less body fat.
