PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG HOCKEY PLAYERS

Keywords: Body length, bodyweight, BMI, athletes, hockey, pre-puberty.

Abstract

Aim. To reveal features of physical development in young hockey players. Materials and Methods. We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study. The overall sample included 85 boys aged 7 to 12: boys of 7–8 (sport health-promoting group), 9–10-year-old hockey players, and 11–12-year-old hockey players. We assessed body length, body weight, and body mass index (BMI) in subjects. Results. Mean value and centile distribution of all indicators in the group of 7–8-year-old boys were within regional age and gender normal range. In 9-10-year-old hockey players, mean group values of body weight and BMI were higher than in peers or athletes engaged in other sports (p &< 0.05 in all cases). Hockey players aged 11–12 had high values of all indicators (p &< 0.05). Among junior athletes, 70 % of 9–10-year-old hockey players and 24 % of 11–12-year-old hockey players had body length value average for population relative to nomograms. Among hockey players from 9–10 to 11–12 there were no athletes with body length “below average”. Most 11–12-year-old hockey players had body weight “above average”. The group of players with body weight “below average” who were aged 9–10 to 11–12 was 6 %. Sixty-eight percent of 9–10-year-old hockey players had an average population value of BMI while in 32 % this parameter was “above average”. The sample of 11–12-year-old hockey players was more diverse as it included the sub-group of players with BMI “below average”. Conclusion. The anthropometric profile of pre-pubertal hockey players differs from this of their peers not engaged in sports or engaged in other sports. The most pronounced differences are observed for body weight and BMI in 9–10- to 11–12-year-old hockey players. The body length parameters are also essential in sports selection of players of that age.
