Determining Body Composition Of Top Level Athletes

Summary/Abstract: The object of the research is the body composition of top level athletes who belong to various sports, while the problem of the research represents diagnosing body composition of top level athletes who belong to various sports: soccer, handball, basketball and volleyball. With the object and the problem of the research, some goals were set: to identify the anthropometric status of the whole tested population, to de- termine body composition, define the significance in the differences of anthropologi- cal status and body composition and identify the latent anthropological criteria which contribute the difference. The sample included 69 top level athletes. All respondents were divided into four subsamples according to the qualification of various sports. Analysis was used in order to determine 10 anthropometric measures: body mass, body height, relative mass of muscles, relative mass of bones, relative mass of fat, relative mass of balance, body mass index, ideal body mass, relative body mass and lean body mass. Authors used multivariant procedures to identify significant mean differences: univariant procedure with one factor (ANOVA) and analysis of variance with more factors (MANOVA). The specific characteristics of subsamples were iden- tified by determining the coefficient of discrimination.
