Özet:

 This study was conducted to analyse the correlation between elite skiers body fat percentage BFP and their jump and sprint performance. From among different disciplines of snow sports alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, ski jumping, and biathlon, a total of 40 male elite athletes with a mean age of 18.552.86 year, a mean height of 172.16.05 cm, and a mean body weight of 65.7310.79 kg were included in this study, and their anthropometric height, body weight, body mass index, and BFP and performance 10-30 meters sprint and verticalhorizontal jump measurements were taken. In order to determine the suitability of the data for normal distribution, the Pearson Correlation Coefficient test was used to analyse the correlations between variables upon assuming normal distribution by using the Shapiro-Wilk test. As a result, negative correlations were found between 10-30 m sprint and horizontal jump performances and the disciplines of cross-country skiing, ski jumping and biathlon. Further negative correlations were found between vertical jump and 30 m sprint in snowboard branch, while positive correlations were present between 10-30 m sprint and BFP in the disciplines of cross-country skiing, ski jumping and biathlon. However, there was also a strong negative correlation between horizontal jump and BFP in the discipline of ski jumping. It can be suggested that high BFP negatively affects the sprint and jump abilities of the athletes since the skiers jump performance appears to decrease with the increased BFP, and likewise, their jump performance increases with the decreased BFP.

 Bu çalışma elit düzeydeki kayak branşı sporcularının vücut yağ yüzdesi ile sıçrama ve sürat performansları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya farklı kar sporu branşları alp disiplini, kayaklı koşu, snowboard, kayakla atlama ve biathlon kapsamında ortalama yaşları 18,552,86, ortalama boyu 172,16,05 cm ve ortalama vücut ağırlıkları 65,7310,79 kg olan, toplam 40erkek elit sporcu dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan sporcuların antropometrik boy uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı, beden kitle indeksi ve vücut yağ yüzdesi ve performans 10-30 metre sprint ve dikeyyatay sıçrama ölçümleri uygulanmıştır. Verilerin dağılıma uygunluğu, Shapiro-Wilk testinden yararlanılarak normal dağılım varsayıldıktan sonra değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin analizinde Pearson Korelasyon Katsayısı Korelasyon testi kullanılmıştır. Kayaklı koşu, kayakla atlama ve biathlon branşlarının 10-30 metre sprint ve yatay sıçrama performansları arasında negatif yönlü ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Snowboard branşı dikey sıçrama ile 30 m sprint arasında negatif yönlü ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Kayaklı koşu, kayakla atlama ve biathlon branşlarının 10-30 m sprint ile VYY arasında pozitif yönlü ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Kayakla atlama yatay sıçrama ile VYY değeri arasında negatif yönlü yüksek düzeyde ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, vücut yağ yüzdesinin fazla olması sporcuların sprint ve sıçrama yeteneklerini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Vücut yağ yüzdesinin artması ile sporcuların sıçrama performanslarının azaldığı ya da yağ yüzdesinin azalması ile sporcuların sıçrama performanslarının arttığı görülmüştür.
