Özet
Bocce is gaining popularity throughout the world and is a game that is dominated by aerobic and anaerobic
power-capacity, endurance, and strength and body composition. These are all important factors in order to reach
a successful performance in Bocce. The purpose of this study was to determine some physical fitness and body
composition characteristics of young Bocce players in the Turkish national team. A total of 26 six (14 female age
21.00±8.47 and 12 male age 19.58±3.34) Bocce players from the National Team of Turkey participated in this study
voluntarily. Subjects’ height, body weight, body mass index and body fat percentage were measured. Body fat
percentage was determined by Yuhasz formula, and isometric dynamometer was used in order to determine
knee, back, grip strength. The sit and reach test was used for the determination of flexibility. Results indicated
that Bocce players have normal body mass index and body fat percentage and ectomorphy-mesomorphy properties.
Results of the isometric knee, back, right-left grip strength values of Bocce players was 77.54±24.8 kg,
90.54±26.85 kg and 36.10±9.91-34.27±10.08 respectively and have normal flexibility (32.5±5.86). As a conclusion,
the findings of the present study indicated that Bocce players have almost average body fat percentage, isometric
strength and flexibility function.
