Title of project: Comparison of somatic parameters of female canoe sprint and canoe slalom competitors Objectives of the work: The aim of this work is to compare the anthropometric parameters (body structure and body composition) of sprint canoe and canoe slalom female competitors. Methods of data processing: Anthropometric measurement was carried out by Riegerová, Přidalová, Ulbrichová (2006) and all parameters were all in accordance with the ISAK methodology used in the study by Ridge et al. (2007). A Harpenden-type caliper was used to measure skinfolds. Somatotypes were determined according to the methodology of Carter & Heath (1990). A bioimpedance scale (Tanita MC-980) was used for body composition analysis. The data were subsequently analyzed using descriptive (mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum value, %) and exploratory statistics to assess statistical (T- test, p<0.05) and substantive (Cohen's d, d>0.8 ) of the significance of the difference between female in canoe sprint and canoe slalom. Results: In the compared groups, significant statistical differences were recorded in the circumferences of the biceps (p=0.00, d=1.43), forearms (p=0.04) and thighs (p=0.00, d=1.87). Sprint female canoeists and kayakers, on average, have a higher body weight by almost 4 kg, also a...
