Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that the physical development potential is often associates with certain combinations of hand print features.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the body shape and structure characteristics of national women’s handbal team athletes.
METHODS:Fifty national women’s handbal team athletes were col ected from Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and Anhui provinces and PLA. The body shapes of the athletes were measured by the Research Institute of National Sports Council, and the hand prints were col ected. The common factors of body shape and structure characteristics were analyzed with factor analysis method, including height, weight, forearm length, wrist circumference, hand length, hand width and index finger length and large-handedness index.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The body shape and structure characteristics of national women’s handbal team athletes could be divided into four types:long trunk lean type indicator, hand skeleton and muscle fiber development level index, flexible quality indicators as wel as the alertness and mental level indicators. The long trunk lean type indicator was the main factor to affect body shape and structure characteristics of national women’s handbal team athletes.
