| description | By
the carried study, it’s aimed to expose the effects of 16 weeks swimming
exercises of sedentary girl and boys aged 7-13 on anthropometric measurements
and somatotype components. In total 114 children, healthy 53 girls, the average
age 9.35±2.14 years and 61 boys, the average age 9.56±2.74 years under the
summer school joining to swimming lessons participated to this research.
Height, body mass, chest, waist and hip circumference measurements and 10
anthropometric measurements of research group necessary for somatotype
calculation has taken before and after the 16 weekly swimming program.
Somatotype calculations evaluated by Heath-Carter somatotype method. Data
tested in p lt;0.05 significance level via Paired Samples t-Test. With the data
obtained before and after swimming exercises, as compared to boys and girls
separately, all the data apart from height, medial calf skinfold, waist/hip
ratio, mesomorph coefficient in girls and all the data apart from height and
waist/hip ratio are significantly different in boys. Somatotype values in
preliminary test of girls changed from 4.99-3.64-2.35 to 4.45-3.78-2.8 and of
boys changed from 4.67-3.72-2.24 to 3.92-4.15-2.38. The findings of the study
show that swimming exercises have effects on the decrease in body mass and
increase in muscle mass. Given the characteristics of the investigated age
group, the period of pre-adolescent girls tend to increase the lubrication,
swimming exercises to be held in this age group would benefit for weight
control and create a healthier future generation. Swimming exercises are
important for preventing weight gain and deal with existing problems of
technology and inactivated lifestyle especially in the puberty period children. |
