Comparison of somatotypes in long and short triathlon
Jordán, Daniel ; Kovářová, Lenka (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Somatotype Comparison in Short Distance and Long Distance Triathlon Objectives: The goal is to determine the somatotype of triathletes competing in half ironman distance triathlons with triathletes competing in short distance triathlons. Methods: The Heath and Carter method was used for measuring the anthropometric parameters. The gained data were used in specific equations to calculate each of the three somatotype compoments. The anthropometric measurements involved participants of the Czechman Tour races. Results: By gaining appropriate anthropometric data, the average somatotype of triathletes competing in half distance events (2,1 - 4,4 - 2,9) falls into the category of ectomorphic mesomorph, whereas the somatotype of competitors in short distance events (2,1 - 4,4 - 2,9) falls into the category of mesomorphic ectomorphs. Keywords: somatotype, triathlon, body type, the Heath and Carter method

1 Abstract Title: Somatotype comparison of junior triathletes between years 1998 and 2018 Objectives: The goal is to determine the somatotype of junior triathletes in 2018 and to compare the results with junior triathletes from 1998. Methods: For measuring of the anthropometric parameters was used as a method for somatotype determination by Heath and Carter. The gained data were used in specific equations to calculate each compoment. The anthropometric measurements involved five male junior triathletes and six female junior triathletes of Czech selection from the Youth sports centers. Results: By gaining appropriate anthropometric data, the average somatotype of junior male triathletes was set (1,75 - 3,55 - 4,15) and female junior triathletes (2,29 - 2,98 - 3,88). The average of both groups falls to category ectomorphic mesomorph, while the somatotype of the junior triathletes from 1998 (1,96 - 4,35 - 3,14) belongs to category mesomorphic ectomorph.
