Influence of the Biological Maturation on the Antrhopometric Variables and Sport Performance in Volleyball Players
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The project consists of a cross-sectional study in which anthropometric variables, general and specific performance variables of volleyball will be measured, and the biological maturity stage will be calculated. The main objective is to establish a relationship between the biological maturation state, the anthropometric characteristics and the performance in physical fitness tests in volleyball players between 12 and 15 years of age. To do this, there will be all the clubs in the Region of Murcia that have federated teams in these categories.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Volleyball performance [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Qualitative assessement of the individual sport performance, taking on account the team position on the league and the role of the player in the team. The instrument used to assess this variable will be a questionnaire and the result will be expressed in points (1 to 5 points).
- Biological maturation [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Calculated with anthropometric variables. The result obtained indicates the time left to the growth peak or the time that has passed from the growth peak
- Muscle mass [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Muscle mass will be assessed with the corresponding formulas. The result will be expressed in kilograms
- Fat mass [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Fat mass will be assessed with the corresponding formulas. The result will be expressed in kilograms
- Bone mass [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Bone mass will be assessed with the corresponding formulas. The result will be expressed in kilograms.
