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

Overview

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.

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.
