ABSTRACT
Elite level tennis performance requires perfect skill and highly developed physiological characteristics. Very little research focuses on the physical characteristics of elite level tennis. This evaluation of height and mass suggests that both variables are, on average, larger the closer a player gets to the number one ranking. This suggests that physical characteristics may influence elite level tennis performance.
INTRODUCTION
Body composition is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone, water, muscle in human bodies. Because muscular tissue takes up less space in our body than fat tissue, our body composition, as well as our weight, determines leanness. Two people of same sex and body weight may look completely different from each other because they have a different body composition.
BMI is not used for determining the body composition. Doctors use it to determine the level of obesity. We use this measure only to define the trend. Increases or decreases in BMI trend depending on the player’s rating? But, first of all, we want to see trend of BMI.
We can use this figure as a model for the characterization of elite level players.
METHODS
There is the model the characteristics of the players from the men’s (ATP) and women’s (WTA) tours. The data are taken from official resources atpworldtour.com and wtatennis.com (07/11/2016).
RESULTS
Average grow of men until 181 to 185cm – 32 people, the weight until 76 to 80 kg – 27 people, and BMI until 23,1 to 24 – 20 people. Average grow of women until 171 to 180 cm – 46 people, the weight until 61 to 65 kg – 31 people, and BMI until 21,1 to 22 – 24 people.
BMI(average) from women – 21,17, men – 22,89. Min BMI (men)=20,3, max BMI (men)=25,8
Min BMI (women)=17,3 max BMI (women)= 24,1.
Let’s compare the BMI(max and min) from BMI (average).
CONCLUSION
They are necessary in order for us to focus on the best and prepare to build such a way that not only achieve the best results, but also to consolidate the top position.
We all know that with an intense schedule of training and competition increases calories loss, then reduced weight. You should know your “fighting” weight.
We have created a model characteristics for the top players. For men it is grow until 181 to 185cm, the weight until 76 to 80 kg and BMI upper average 22,89. For women it is grow until 171 to 180 cm, the weight until 61 to 65 kg, and BMI upper average – 21,17.
The graph 1,2 shows that the BMI is reduced to a trend page 100, in both men and women. In men, the dynamics of strongly expressed in women weaker. What tells us about gender features players.Players elite level increase this figure due to muscle mass, which can be seen visually.
If you have the perfect height, weight, measure BMI, take a test to determine body composition. If everything is normal body composition, you need to pay attention to the technical, tactical, psychological and physical preparation.
