Comparison of physique and muscular strength in collegiate athletes

  The purpose of this study was to estimate physique and muscular strength in collegiate athletes. On a sample of 70 athletes (basketball, baseball, soccer, and ice-hockey) anthropometric measurements (height, weight, bone width, circumference and skinfold thicknesses) were taken. For the measurements of muscular strength grip strength, back strength, arm flexion and leg extension strength were tested. The results of this study showed that basketball players were highest for height, weight, humerous and femur diameters, chest circumference, and calf circumference. Ice-hockey players were highest for upper arm and flexed upper arm circumferences. On the other hand ice-hockey players were lowest for height, soccer players for weight, baseball players for humerous and femur diameters, soccer players for chest circumference. For skinfold thickness baseball players (10.1㎜) were highest for triceps, basketball players (14.5㎜) for subscapular, ice-hockey players (13.3㎜) for suprailiac and medial calf (9.0㎜) skinfold thicknesses. While soccer players were lowest for triceps (8.7㎜), subscapular (8.6㎜), suprailiac (9.8㎜) and medial calf (7.5㎜) skinfold thicknesses. There were significant differences (P＜0.01) for height, weight, femur diameter, upper arm and flexed upper arm circumferences among athletes. Grip strength (left and right) was highest in baseball players (52.1㎏, 50.8㎏) but lowest for soccer players (42.3㎏, 42.8㎏). Baseball players were highest for back strength (162.0㎏). On the other hand back strength was lowest in ice-hockey players (127.1㎏). For arm flexion and leg extension strength (left, right) basketball players (42.0㎏, 44.9㎏) were highest for both strength tests. While soccer players were lowest for arm flexion strength and baseball players for leg extension strength. Ice-hockey players were highest for sit-up (59.2). Significant differences (P＜0.01) were found for grip, back, arm flexion and leg extension strength and sit-up among athletes.
