Abstract

The aim of this study was to show values of dynamometric parameters in elite athletes, and to determine and explain difference in those parameters between persons of various sport specialities and non sportsmen. In the study were included 153 participants: 123 elite athletes (17 boxers, 17 wrestlers, 27 hockey, 23 volleyball, 20 handball, 20 basketball and 19 soccer players) and 30 students, non sportsmen. Muscular strength (A) and power (P) were registrated by dynamometry. As a result of chronic adaptation to training, athletes had significantly higher values of registered parameters than non sportsmen. Lowest values of dynamometric parameters were measured in non sportsmen, at arm flexion A was 57.65 kg and power P285.60 W. Comparing results of athletes of different sport specialties, significant difference was found in values of some parameters. Dynamometric parameter at arm flexion has had the highest value in tested wrestlers 82.0kg, and lowest values were registered in soccer players, but only in absolute values. Differences in some measured parameters between groups of athletes can be explained by specific demands in different sports, during prolonged training and performance activities
