Assessment of the Physical Development of Wrestlers Based on Anthropometric Research Methods Involved in Belt Wrestling, Taking Into Account Weight Categories

Abstract

In assessing physical development, the indicators of total body size were analyzed, and from partial sizes - long, latitudinal and girth sizes of wrestlers. The skin-fat folds are taken from 4 regions of the body, on the back of the shoulder, under the shoulder blade, on the abdomen and on the side. The greatest thickness of fat folds was found in the abdominal region, the value of fat folds was 6.4±5.06 mm, and on the side -7.7±4.92 mm (Table 3). Of the latitudinal dimensions, the shoulder width is on average 42.4±4.65 cm, the mid-chest transverse size and the mid-chest sagittal size were 31.6±3.08 and 21±3.6 cm; the pelvic width was 29.9±3.97 cm. The chest circumference at rest was 95.9±8.95, when inhaled -103.03± 10.08 cm, when exhaled - 91.6± 9.0 cm, chest excursion was -11.13 cm, which is regarded as a positive indicator (Table 1).
