Abstract
The aim of the present study was defining the relation among biomotor and anthropometric characteristics of students aged 8 to 12 years old in Delfan. The statistical sample was 44 non-athlete male students in the third to fifth grades of primary schools in Delfan. Anthropometric characteristics (Length, height, waist circumference, pelvis circumference, constricted arm circumference, free arm circumference, knee width, elbow width, eight skin folds, body mass index, fat weight and non-fat weight) and physiological components such as maximum Oxygen consumption (Vo2max), anaerobic power, explosive power, reaction time, forward flexibility, 36 m velocity, pair of sides, toe strength, abdominal muscle strength (sit-up), horizontal bar and agility 9*4 were measured. Pearson correlation method was used to analyze the data. The Findings showed significant negative relation between Vo2max and weight, sum of eight skin folds and fat weight. This means that, as the weight and fat content increase, the subjects’ Vo2max decrease. In addition, the relation between length and non-fat weight and subjects’ Vo2max is positive and significant. As length and non-fat weight increase, Vo2max increases as well. A positive and significant relation was obtained between non-fat weight and anaerobic power. Thus, as non-fat weight increases, anaerobic power increase as well. No significant relation was found between other variables. Using this information, it is recommended that teachers and sports coaches use their training programs very carefully and deliberately, without spending energy, time and with proper application of appropriate training systems to strengthen their weaknesses during the talent identification process.
