A comparison of chosen health indicators determined during routine medical examinations between table tennis, badminton and squash players.
In this article, the main goal is comparison of chosen health indicators determined during routine medical examinations between table tennis, badminton and squash players. These routine medical examinations are particularly important to determine current health status of the athletes, to provide information about risk factors and still unknown critical congenital dysfunctions at the individual players. But the main purpose of these routine medical examinations is to determine lately developed dysfunctions, influenced by regular growth and development, but also with exhaustive trainings. These dysfunctions could cause sudden deaths, or appearance of chronically diseases or injuries. In this study, we have used the data from Polyclinic for Occupational Health and Sport, from male athletes (66 badminton, 143 squash and 235 table tennis players), and then female athletes (5 badminton, 127 squash and 81 table tennis players), stratified by gender and by four age groups. Collected data included height, body mass, body mass index, blood pressure (diastolic and systolic), heart rate, vital capacity of the lungs, haemoglobin, haematocrit, leukocytes, thrombocytes, ECG and speed of sedimentation. The results of Kruskal Wallis and Chi-square tests indicated very small number of differences among table tennis, badminton and squash players in chosen indicators, mainly in height, body mass and body mass index in certain age groups. The results are described in terms of desirable morphological characteristics, as well as in terms of specific functional capacities and motor abilities, for each sport (badminton, squash and table tennis). The main shortcomings are relatively small number of participants in certain age groups and generally small number of badminton players in females.
