NİĞDE ÜNİVERSİTESİNDEKİ 20-25 YAŞ ARASI FUTBOL OYNAYAN, FUTBOLU BIRAKAN VE DÜZENLİ SPOR YAPMAYAN ÖĞRENCİLERİN SOLUNUM VE ANTROPOMETRİK PARAMETRELERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anthropometric and respiratory parameters of the subjects aged between 20- 25 years old and who were active soccer players (ASP), who were not active soccer players (NASP) anymore and who did not do sports regularly (DNDSR). Subject group was composed of 60 who were students in Niğde Üniversitesy. Twenty of the subjects were ASP, 20 of them were NASP anymore and 20 of them were DNDSR. To estimate if any significant difference occurred between the subject groups’ estimations, and to identify the difference causing groups analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Post-Hoc. Duncan test were applied in the statistical analysis of the data. There were no significent (P<0,05) difference found between the subjects groups accoding to their weigth, abdomen fat measurement, thigh fat, bi-iliac caliper, femur bicondüler caliper, waist circumference measurement, abdomen circumference, knee circumference, calf circumference, FEV% and MVV values. ASP had lower body fat percentage and better caliper, circumference and respiratory parameters than the subjects who were NASP anymore and the subjects who were NASP anymore had lower body fat percentage and better caliper, circumference and respiratory parameters than the subjects who were DNDSR. These results revealed that the Niğde University subjects who were ASP were better than the subjects who were NASP and subjects who were better than the subjects who DNDSR according to the parameters related respiration and physical fitness parameters.
