Anthropometric and physiological profiles of national sepak takraw players were determined.
Thirty nine players, specialising in the three playing positions (tekong/server, feeder, and killer/spiker) were divided into three age categories of under 15 (U15), under 18 (U18), and under 23 (U23) years of age. Height, weight, percent body fat (%bf), maximum oxygen consumption (Vo(2max)), range of motion (ROM), back and leg strength, and heart rate, for the estimation of oxygen consumption during matches, were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using one way ANOVA for independent measurements and data are presented as mean+/-standard deviation.
The U23 players were significantly taller and heavier with significantly better ROM of the neck, trunk, and ankle joints and back and leg strength than the U15 players. No significant difference was found in %bf between the three age categories. Mean maximum heart rate during exercise was significantly higher in the U15 group when compared to the U18 and U23 groups (p<0.05). Mean Vo2max was similar between the three groups. Estimated oxygen consumption during matches was 69.1%, 68.5%, and 56.4% of Vo2max in the killer, tekong, and the feeder groups, respectively.
The mean height, body weight, and cardiopulmonary capacities of the players were within the Malaysian population norms, but were somewhat lower than those of players of other court games from other countries. %bf was also lower in these players. This study provides the much needed anthropometric and physiological data of sepak takraw players for further development of this sport.
确定全国藤球运动员的人体测量学和生理学特征。
39名专门司职三个比赛位置（二传手/发球手、喂球手和扣球手/主攻手）的运动员被分为15岁以下（U15）、18岁以下（U18）和23岁以下（U23）三个年龄组。记录身高、体重、体脂百分比（%bf）、最大摄氧量（Vo₂max）、活动范围（ROM）、背部和腿部力量以及心率，以估算比赛期间的耗氧量。采用单因素方差分析进行独立测量的统计分析，数据以平均值±标准差表示。
U23组运动员比U15组运动员显著更高、更重，颈部、躯干和踝关节的ROM以及背部和腿部力量也明显更好。三个年龄组之间的%bf没有显著差异。与U18组和U23组相比，U15组运动期间的平均最大心率显著更高（p<0.05）。三组之间的平均Vo₂max相似。比赛期间，扣球手组、二传手组和喂球手组的估计耗氧量分别为Vo₂max的69.1%、68.5%和56.4%。
运动员的平均身高、体重和心肺功能在马来西亚人群规范范围内，但略低于其他国家其他球类运动的运动员。这些运动员的%bf也较低。本研究提供了藤球运动员急需的人体测量学和生理学数据，以促进这项运动的进一步发展。
