The differences in body composition and somatotype between a group of forwards in junior category and a group of backs in senior category in rugby
Kučera, Jan ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Hadžega, Tomáš (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the differences in body composition and somatotype between a group of forwards in junior category and a group of backs in senior category in rugby. In the research there participated a total of 20 players from the rugby's club RC Říčany in the age range 17 to 41 years. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces rugby to the reader as a sport game. This part deals with the characteristics of rugby as a sport game of the competition, it describes its history, rugby rules, static factors, assumptions of physical condition of rugby players. Furthermore, the thesis also shows the morpho-functional characteristics of gaming positions (bioelectrical impedance diagnosis of body composition, Bodystat 1500). In the research part there is diagnosed body composition while using bioelectrical impedance method Bodystat 1500. It analyzes the fundamental differences in the physique of forwards and backs in the junior and senior categories. By measuring selected anthropometric parameters there are calculated somatotype sof forwards and backs in the program Somatotype-Calculation and Analysis. On the basis of the results are made the conclusions, where the results are evaluated and compared. Key words: rugby, forwards, backs, somatotype, body composition, Bodystat Powered by TCPDF...

A Comparison of Somatotype between Female Rugby Union Forwards and Backs
Vacková, Petra ; Vokounová, Šárka (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Title: A Comparison of Somatotype between Female Rugby Union Forwards and Backs Objectives: To compare differences and similarities of somatotype between female forwards and backs of the Czech Rugby Union. Method: A total number of 30 elite female rugby players participated in this study. Somatic measurements necessary to specify one's somatotype and Heath- Carter method were used on all subjects. All collected data was analysed in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets with results demonstrated using bar charts, tables and somatographs. Results: No significant differences were found between selected groups. Mesomorphy was found to have the highest value in both groups followed by the endomorphic and ectomorphic component. The endomorphic and mesomorphic component was found to be higher in forwards, however the value of ectomorphy was slightly higher in backs. In comparison with research of Welsh female rugby players, mean somatotype of this study was more comparable to the elite group of players. Keywords: somatotype, Rugby Union, forwards, backs
