Özet
Aim.
The aim of this study was to investigate
the relationship between anthropometric cha-
racteristics and muscular strength of Turkish elite moutain bikers.
Materials and methods.
The stud
y
group consisted of 12 Turkish elite male mountain bi
kers who participating in national and international
cross country olimpic (XCO) mountain bike races in e
lite category for the last 2
years. Participants mean
age was 22.4 ± 3.4 years, body height was 173.2 ± 5.18 cm, and body mass was 55.7 ± 75.2 kg. Participants
b
ody height and weigth were measured and body mass index of participants was calculated. To determine
the muscular strength, one repetition maximum (1-RM) tests were performed on participants. The associa-
tion between anthropometric charact
eristics and the muscular strength
performance were determined b
y
the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results.
The mean of body heigth was positively correlated with 1-RM
means for triceps pull-down and leg extension, body weigth was positively correlated with 1-RM means
for biceps curl, triceps pull-down, shoulder press, lat pulldown, abdominal crunch, leg extension and leg
curl, BMI was positively correlated with 1-RM means for
shoulder press, chest press and leg curl (p < .05).
However, mean age not correlated with
1-RM means for all exercises (p > .05).
Conclusions.
In conclusion,
body weight and body mass index values are important parameters to be considered in evaluation of muscle
strength and strength training in mountain bike riders.
