Abstract

Istraživanje je provedeno s ciljem utvrđivanja razlika antropoloških karakteristika i funkcionalnih sposobnosti mladih vaterpolista, polaznika završnog kampa Hrvatskog vaterpolskog saveza. U tu svrhu primijenjena je baterija od osam morfoloških i pet motoričkih testova. U istraživanje je uključeno 89 ispitanika u dobi od 14 godina. Ispitanici su prema kriteriju uspješnosti igranja vaterpola podijeljeni u one koji su tijekom protekle vaterpolske sezone 2023./2024. igrali u prvoj Hrvatskoj vaterpolskoj ligi (G1) (n=50, 56,2%) i one koji nisu (G2) (n=39, 43,8%). Prosječna dob ispitanika iz skupine G1 bila je 20,12±0,80 godina, a iz G2 20,03±0,87 godina (P=0,597). Ispitanici koji su nastupali u prvoj Hrvatskoj vaterpolskoj ligi (G1) nisu se razlikovali u antropometrijskim obilježjima od onih koji nisu (G2), ali su imali značajno bolje rezultate specifičnih plivačkih testova u dobi od 14 godina. Specifične plivačke sposobnosti ispitanika u dobi od 14 godina, 400 m kraul koja procjenjuje aerobni kapacitet i 100 m kraul koja procjenjuje anaerobni kapacitet, pokazali su se kao značajni prediktori uspješnosti igranja u prvoj Hrvatskoj vaterpolskoj ligi u kasnijoj dobi od 18 do 21 godine starosti. Rezultati ovog istraživanja nadopunjuju ranije studije, ali također mogu služiti trenerima vaterpola kako bi kreirali svoje programe treninga, kao i olakšati im postupak selekcije djece za natjecateljski sport, prvenstveno vaterpolo.

Abstract (english)

The main objective of this study was to determine differences in anthropometric characteristics and functional swimming capacities in youth water polo players who attended Croatian Water Polo Federation camps. The battery of eight morphologic and five motoric tests was used. There were 89 participants aged 14 years included in the study. According to the success criterion for playing senior level in the first Croatian water polo league participants were divided in group 1 (G1) (N=50, 56.2%), players who participated in the first Croatian water polo league during the past season 2023/2024 and those players who did not (G2) (n=39, 43.8%). There were no significant differences in anthropologic characteristics between players in G1 from those in G2 but players in G1 showed significantly better results in functional swimming tests when they were at the age of 14 years. Players' specific functional swimming capacities, 400 m crawl as a measure of aerobic capacity and 100 m crawl as a measure of anaerobic capacity at the age of 14 years were shown as significant predictors as a success criterion for playing water polo in the first Croatian water polo league at the age of 18 to 21 years. Results of this study are in accordance with some previous research and it can help coaches to develop appropriate training programs, as well as in selection of talented children for team sports, specifically water polo.
