Abstract：
Determining the reference base of anthropometric parameters on a sample of elite athletes is one of the foundations of further research and forming a clearer picture of each sport and sports discipline. In this study, the aim was to describe the anthropometric and somatotype profiles of elite Finn class sailors and to determine the differences in the measured parameters between sailors at different levels of general competitive success. The subject sample included 57 Finn class sailors who competed at the open Finn European Championship. A set of 25 anthropometric variables were applied. The sailors were divided into three groups according to their level of general competitive success using World Sailing Rankings. Finn sailors had higher average values in almost all morphological characteristics when compared to the sailors in other Olympic classes. Considering the average values of somatotype categories, we determined that Finn sailors fit the endomorphic mesomorph somatotype category (3.94 ± 1.19 - 5.50 ± 1.19 - 1.63 ± 0.74). Significant differences were observed between more-successful, medium, and less-successful sailors in the variables of age, body mass, muscle mass, arm muscle mass, and endomorphy rating. These results indicate the possibility of selection processes and/or adaptation to sailing occurring in the Finn class. The anthropometric characteristics of Finn sailors compared to sailors in Olympic classes further \"support\" the Finn class being called the \"heavy dinghy\" male class. This study on anthropometric parameters, determined via a sample of top Finn sailors, may be of great help to coaches and young sailors when deciding on the selection of an adult sailing class.
摘要：
在优秀运动员样本上确定人体测量参数的参考基础是进一步研究和形成每个运动和运动学科更清晰的图景的基础之一。在这项研究中,目的是描述精英Finn级水手的人体测量和体型特征，并确定在一般竞争成功程度不同的水手之间测量参数的差异。主题样本包括57名芬兰人级水手，他们参加了芬兰人欧洲公开赛。应用了一组25个人体测量变量。根据使用世界帆船排名的一般竞争成功水平，将水手分为三组。与其他奥林匹克类别的水手相比，芬兰人的水手在几乎所有形态特征上都具有更高的平均值。考虑到体型类别的平均值，我们确定Finn水手符合内形态中形态体型类别（3.94±1.19-5.50±1.19-1.63±0.74）。在更成功的人之间观察到显著差异，中等,和年龄变量中不太成功的水手，体重,肌肉质量，手臂肌肉质量,和内形态评级。这些结果表明，选择过程和/或适应Finn类航行的可能性。与奥林匹克班的水手相比，芬兰人水手的人体测量特征进一步“支持”芬兰人班被称为“重型小艇”男性班。这项关于人体测量参数的研究，通过芬兰人顶级水手的样本确定，在决定选择成人帆船课程时，可能对教练和年轻水手有很大帮助。
