Examination of the relations of some kinanthropometry indexes with special ability test scores

-The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between some anthropometric parameters and performance. In this context, upper extremity, lower extremity, forearm length, upper arm length, biacrominal width, bicristal width, chest circumference, sitting height, lower leg length, thigh length were examined in male athletes. Although these anthropometric parameters fulfill many functions in daily life activities, they are parameters that significantly affect the performance of athletes in various sports branches. The effect of the lower and upper extremities on the performance of the athlete differs in various ways in sports activities. In our literature study, male athletes; mean upper extremity length values were 77.67±4.06 cm; mean lower extremity length values were 96.79 ±13.52 cm; mean forearm length value was 26.83±2.07 cm; mean upper arm length value was 34.77±3.27 cm; mean biacrominal width value was 37.71±5.68 cm; bicristal width value averaged 27.95±2.07cm; mean chest circumference value was 95.60±4.07 cm; average sitting height value is 97.26±14.97cm; mean lower leg length value was 42.35±4.98 cm and thigh length value was 44.72±3.23 cm on average. As a result, no significant difference was found between all variables of male candidates who participated in the study and applied for the special talent exam (p>0.05). It is thought that this result is due to factors such as candidates' anthropometric structures, physical, physiological and sports history.
