The Relationship Between Body Composition and Physical Fitness in Young Male Basketball Players

March 19, 2024 updated by: Gökhan Can TÖRPÜ, Bezmialem Vakif University

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between body composition, aerobic capacity, trunk muscle endurance and muscle strength in young male basketball players.

The study will take place at a local basketball academy. Young male athletes between the ages of 10-24 and enrolled in a basketball academy will be included in the study. Participants who have been involved in basketball for less than a year, and those who have injuries that prevent participation in the study will be excluded.

Detailed Description

Individual development differences in young people can have an impact on physical fitness components such as aerobic capacity, trunk muscle endurance and muscle strength required for basketball. At the same time, differences in these components can have effects on each other.

There is a complex relationship between anthropometric changes during growth and physical fitness because many differences can occur during the physiological development of players. In this context, differences in growth rate and development in young basketball players are complex factors that affect game performance and player success. Characteristics such as body height, body weight, skeletal muscle ratio and body fat are among the basic anthropometric components of a basketball player, and these components are considered to be important indicators of a player's game performance.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Young Male Basketball Players
Male athletes between the ages of 10-24 who are involved in a local basketball academy and have been involved in basketball for more than a year
Other: OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor
The OMRON BF511 Body Composition Monitor is a digital scale and participants' body compositions will be evaluated with this device. The aerobic capacities of the participants will be evaluated with the Multi-Stage 20 m Shuttle Run Test and the maximum oxygen consumption levels will be calculated with the help of the formula with the data obtained from this test. The trunk extensor muscle endurance of the participants will be evaluated with the Biering-Sorensen Test and the trunk flexor endurance will be evaluated with the Kraus-Weber Test. Participants' M. Quadriceps, M. Hamstring, M. Biceps Brachii and M. Triceps Brachii muscle strengths will be evaluated with MicroFET® 2 hand dynamometer.
Other Names:
  • Multi-Stage 20 m Shuttle Run Test
  • Biering-Sorensen Test and Kraus-Weber Test
  • MicroFET® 2 hand dynamometer
