The Relationship Between Selected Anthropometric Measurements And Buoyancy In Beginner Swimmers Aged 12–16 Years
Authors : Fethi Salhi .
Abstract
This study aims to identify the nature of the correlation between selected anthropometric measurements (lengths, breadths, and circumferences) and buoyancy among beginner swimmers aged 12–16 years. The researcher adopted a descriptive correlational design. A set of anthropometric measurements, along with horizontal and vertical buoyancy tests, was administered to a sample of 12 young swimmers in the minors category. The results revealed correlations of varying strength and direction between anthropometric measurements and buoyancy. Some body lengths were found to be inversely correlated with buoyancy, whereas certain breadths and circumferences demonstrated either positive or negative correlations depending on the nature of the measurement. The study recommends incorporating anthropometric measurements as a scientific tool in the guidance, training, and selection of beginner swimmers.
