Comparative analysis of body composition indicators of volleyball players of different qualifications

The article provides a general analysis of body composition indicators of female volleyball players of various qualifications. The obtained results were compared with the interpreted data of the criteria that were determined, namely, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), skeletal muscle percentage (PSM), visceral fat level (VF), energy expenditure at rest (VE kkal) in a state of relative rest. Material and methods. 15 qualified volleyball players of the national team of Mykola Pirogov Vinnitsa National Medical University and 12 novice volleyball players of the national team of Mykhailo Kotsyubynskyi Vinnitsa State Pedagogical University took part in the study. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical observation, morph-functional diagnostics, surveys, methods of mathematical statistics. Research results and key findings. It was established that the average indicators of body composition monitoring of qualified volleyball players are higher in relation to the indicators of volleyball players of the initial group: body length, respectively, 1.78±0.06m, 1.67±0.07m; BMI - 24.57±3.2 kg/m∙2, 23.48±3.22 kg/m∙2; BFP - 15.2±3.89%, 31.1±5.24%; PSM - 35.33±3.3%, 29.35±2.82%; VF -7.19±1.44 um.units, 3.4±0.9 um.units; VE kkal - 1596.6±103.17 kkal, 1392±123.61 kkal. Also, comparing the average indicators with the interpreted data of the criteria, the norm was found in both teams in terms of BMI, VF and with PSM (beginners' team) and BFP - (team of highly qualified volleyball players). We obtained a high level of indicators in beginner girls from the percentage of body fat (FFA) and a very high level from girls with high sports qualifications from the percentage of skeletal muscles (FFA). The prospect of further research is to establish the relationship between the obtained indicators of the body composition of female athletes of various sports qualifications and the level of general and special fitness.
