엘리트 선수의 수영과 육상경기 기록비율의 성차

Abstract

This study investigated the differences of record ratio in the fields of the athletes' track and field event and competitive swimming. For the study, the mean record value of the finals in these sports events in the National Sports Festival, which were held from 2010 through 2012, was used. Their record ratio was based on the records of men and women swimming, as well as track and field event. The findings were as follows. The mean record ratio for the swimming field was as follows: 90.73±2.34% for backstroke in the high school department; 89.12±0.84% for freestyle in the public department. The mean record ratio for the track event was: 86.59±1.36% for the high school department and 86.01±1.63% for the public department. The record ratio of women (89.79±0.60%) in competitive swimming was significantly higher (p<.001) than that (82.68±0.65%) in the track and field event. The record ratio of women in the track event (85.12±0.92%) was significantly higher (p<.001) than that of the field event (80.63±1.12). These findings indicate that the variables influencing the record ratio in sports events include not only physical fitness components of men and women but also their physical characteristics.
