دراسة ارتباطية لكفاءة الجهاز الدوري التنفسي وبعض المتغيرات الجسمية لدى لاعبي كرة القدم

Abstract

Anthropometric measurements and cardio respiratory fitness indices are key factors that influence physical performance in soccer players. This research aimed to analyze the relationship between some anthropometric measurements and cardio respiratory indices in football players under the age of 19 years, and for this purpose a descriptive approach was used for correlation studies on a purposive sample of 30 players (height=1.76±0.07; weight=68.61±6.09; body mass index=22.1±1.27). For data collection, we relied on body dimension measurements, resting heart rate measurement and a 20-meter shuttle run test to assess aerobic performance (MAS&Vo2max). After the results were collected and statistically processed at a significance level of 0.05, there was a strong inverse correlation between the weight and mass index measurements and the aerobic performance indices, where (p<0.05) and (r>-0.7), a strong positive correlation between lengths (body and lower limb), circumferences (leg, thigh and chest), widths (chest, wrist and shoulders) and aerobic performance indices (p<0.05) and (r>0.7), and a weak inverse correlation between scapular posterior tuck and aerobic performance.
