- Abstract
This study attempts to explain in a sample of young water polo players an anthropometric profile and identify significant relationships between these measures and the maximum handgrip strength and throwing velocity. Twenty five male water polo players, with a mean age of 14.8 ± 1.96 years, were tested, to perform an anthropometric assessment and evaluating the throwing velocity in three different spaces situations (center, right and left) from the 5 meters line with goalkeeper opposition and without it. Maximum grip was also measured. Various anthropometric variables (weight, height, size, skinfolds, bone and muscle diameter, etc.) were measured. We proceeded with Spearman rank correlation coefficient. And relationship between maximum grip and throwing velocity was found (p=.83; p<.01), among biacromial diameter and maximum grip (p=.53; p<.01) and biacromial diameter and shoot velocity (p=.67; p<.01). In conclusion, it is considered that the anthropometric parameters, except skinfolds are related to the shoot speed and maximum grip strength in young water polo players. A significant relationship between the throwing velocity in the situation without goalkeeper and with goalkeeper (p=.89; p<.01) also seen, although further research is still needed.
