Abstract:

The aim of this study is to compare some physical and physiological parameters in swimmers and sedanter children. A total of 33 healthy and volunteer children with 16 swimming children (medium age: 10,75±1,34 years, size: 146,56±9,16 cm, body weight: 42,76±14,05 kg and sports age 26.31±10.22 months) and 17 sedanter boys (medium age: 10,65±1,27 years, size: 140,41±8,32 cm, body weight: 38,15±10,94 kg) participated in this study. This study was determined by body weight, body mass index (BMI), basal metabolic rate (BMH), body fat mass (VYK) and body fat percentage (VYY) bioelectric impedance analysis (Tanita). The Bruce Protocol for MaxVO2 was applied, blood pressure before and after, handhelding, seating-access and vertical jumping tests. The statistical level of importance p<0.05 was used in the group comparison. When comparing the test values of swimmer children and sedanter children, after the Bruce protocol, there was a significant difference in the values of MaxVO2 and vertical jumping, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p<0.05). As a result, swimming children found that their blood pressure, aerobic and anaerobic capabilities were better than sedanter children. As a result of this, it can be said that the regular exercise of swimming has a positive impact on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure parameters with aerobic and anaerobic capabilities in 10-13 year old boys.
