THE DETERMINATION OF HIP CIRCUMFERENCE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUNG BOYS AND YOUNG GIRLS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS OF BUKOVINA DEPENDING ON THE SPORT TYPE

Abstract

The aim: To find out the features of the hip circumference in the middle of both extremities by students of higher education institutions of Bukovina, depending on the sport type. Materials and methods: The study of anthropometric parameters was conducted on 115 students of higher education institutions of Bukovina from 16 to 18 years where 78 (67.82%) – young boys and 37 (32.18%) – young girls. The main group of 75 (65.22%) students were represented by the first and the second year students of the Faculty of Physical Culture and Human Health of the Yuriy Fedkovich Chernivtsi National University, and control group consisted of 40 (34.78%) college students and students of the Stomatological Faculty of Bukovynian State Medical University. Among the students of the main group were – 57 (76.0%) young boys and 18 (24.0%) young girls who, in addition to physical activity, which was included in the program of their specialty, additionally engaged in the sports (football players, volleyball players, basketball players, handball players), the control group consisted of 21 (52.5%) young boys and 19 (47.5%) young girls who are busy with hours of physical education, according to the curriculum of their specialty and did not engage in additional sports. Anthropometric examination included the definition of total (height and body weight) parameters and partial (hip circumference in the middle third). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using a licensed program RStudio. Results: Based on the Kraskel-Wallis test, it was found that there is a significant difference in the average length of the hip circumference (in the middle third) on the left depending on the sport. Based on the Conover-Iman test, it was found that there is a significant difference for the pairs «basketball» – «handball», «control» – «handball», «football» – «handball», «volleyball» – «control», «volleyball» – «football», «volleyball» – «handball». Conclusions: The model for predicting the length of the hip circumference (in the middle third) on the right has the form y = β1 + β2 + 0,328 * х1 – 0,167 * х2, on the left it looks like y = β1 + β2 + 0,451 * х1 – 0,179 * х2, where y is the girth of the thigh in the middle third, is the weight, х2 is the height. The coefficient β1 = 58,181 for young girls and β2 = 53,302 for young boys. Coefficient β2 = 0 for the group «basketball», β2 = – 3,358 for the group «control», β2 = – 0,484 for the group «football», β2 = – 1,991 for the group «handball», β2 = – 0,824 for the group «volleyball».
