15-16 year old female basketball, volleyball and soccer players` vertical movement characteristics

(Vertikale Bewegungscharakteristik 15- bis 16-jähriger Basketball-, Volleyball- und Fußballspielerinnen)

It is important to be aware what kind of the motor skills are developed by practicing different sports, and to learn whether exist general indices, settling sport movement performance level. So far, a little number of researches dealt with the question about the main kinematic and kinetic indices which have influence on effectiveness of athletes` movement in various directions, by this ensuring space and time advantage, as well as with the questions on body movement momentum and absolute speed, acceleration and force, motion precision; these parameters make the main effect on sport results. The answers to these questions might be of assistance in more objective evaluation of athletes` abilities, correction of training process, as well as in the prognosis of sport results. The aim of the work was to establish and compare 15-16 year old female basketball, volleyball and soccer players` vertical movement anthropometric indices and skills. 15-16 year old female players of basketball (n = 13), volleyball (n = 9) and soccer (n = 11) participated in the research. Anthropometric indices - height (m), body weight (kg), BMI (r/u), fat (%) and muscle (%) mass were measured. Applying the method of tenzodynamometry, players` kinematic and kinetic characteristics when performing standing two feet vertical jump with arm movement were established. The following indices were recorded: squat duration ds (s), take-off duration dt (s), flight phase duration df (s), total jump duration dj (s), squat speed Vs (m/s), body movement speed V (m/s), squat depth sd (m), jump height h (m), greatest take-off force Fmax (N), force increase maximum speed Fv (N/s), muscle reactivity R (Hz), work A (J), power P (W) and relative power Pr (W/kg). Mathematical statistics. Arithmetic mean ( x ), standard deviation (±S), significance level (p < 0.05) and data correlation (r) were calculated. The data were processed using SPSS program (version 13.0). The results showed significant differences in basketball, volleyball and soccer players` anthropometric, kinematic and kinetic indices. The basketball players` height and body mass indices were of the highest value. Quantitative indices of BMI, muscle and fat mass were of similar value for all the players and corresponded to the standards of female athletes of such period of age. The highest jump value h (m) was recorded for volleyball players (0.40 m), less - for basketball players (0.37), and it was significantly less (p < 0.005) for soccer players (0.33) comparing to volleyball players. Take-off force Fmax (N) was significantly greater for basketball players in comparison with volleyball and soccer players (p < 0.001). Leg muscle reactivity R (Hz) appeared to be the best for the soccer players, and was considerably different from that of the volleyball players (p < 0.002). Indicators of the work performed A (J), power P (W) and relative power Pr (W/kg) were the highest for basketball players, they differed significantly from those of soccer players (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis of vertical movement kinematic, kinetic and anthropometric indices proved the main characteristics for the most objective evaluation of the players` motor skills being BMI, take-off duration, flight phase duration and jump height, absolute force and relative power, body movement speed, speed of force increase and reactivity.
