Study On Physical Ability Characteristic And Evaluation System For Chinese Elite Female Beach Volleyball Athletes

All of the 79 female beach volleyball athletes who enrolled in Chinese Volleyball Association in 2006 were recruited in this study. Anthropometric characteristic,physiological ability and skill-related performance were tested by normal methods.The data collected were processed by descriptive statistics,t-test,one-way ANOVA and main ingredient analysis.On the basis of aforementioned work,a computer system which to evaluate the physical ability characteristic of Chinese female elite beach volleyball athletes was set up.We concluded that:1.Compared with general Chinese beach volleyball athlete,the anthropometric characteristics of the elite one is predominantly ectomorphic shape,longer arms,smaller ankles,longer calves and a higher body weight.The physiological ability characteristics of the elite one is higher glycolytic and aerobic capacity,and the skill-related performance tests showed that the elite Chinese beach volleyball athlete has quicker action speed,higher anaerobic power, better flexibility,coordination,and event-related endurance.However, the Chinese elite female beach volleyball athlete has less rapid movement speed and lower anaerobic power when compared with world-class one.2.For the first time we proposed the 3rd level evaluation index system of physical ability for Chinese female elite beach volleyball player. The main anthropometric indexes in the system included fat free mass, stretching height,contracted and relaxed upper arm circumference and girth×100/length of Achilles' tendon.Typical skill-related performance indexes included X moving,approach jumping,medicine ball throwing,sit-and-reach and beep test.And physiological ability indexes included maximal oxygen uptake and anaerobic power.3.The 10 highest overall score players in the evaluation index system has tall height,long arms and low fat-free mass anthropometric characteristic compared with the general ones.They have predominant jump and arm swing performance,higher glycolytic capacity and cardio-pulmonary function,but comparatively lower sand moving speed and flexibility.4.The overall score of most national female beach volleyball players ranked 1st-10th among all the excellent beach volleyball players,but the gap and disparity still exist successively to varying degrees in skill -related performance,physiological ability,and goodish morphology when compared with ideal model.The first is at the most degree.5.As in the 3rd level indexes,most of national female beach volleyball team players' sand moving speed,bounce and endurance capacity, contracted and relaxed upper arm circumference,and fat free mass should be improved.6.The evaluation index system of physical ability for Chinese female elite composed of evaluation indexes,evaluation model,evaluation schedule and software for computers.It can reveal athlete physiology fitness characteristic truly and conveniently and thus can provide a consult reference for coach to establish training program objectively and pertinently.
