Analysis of the relationship between 2d:4d finger length ratios and leg strength among athletesKoç, HürmüzAksoy, CemilEskici, GünayKöroğlu, Yaşar2d:4d finger lengthAthletesLeg strengthFourty volunteer athletes participated in this study in which the relationship between 2d:4d finger length ratios and leg strength was analyzed. These volunteers, who play basketball, football and volleyball in different clubs, have 22.66±3.48 average of age and their training age is 5 years and over. The explanations about the study to be conducted and measurements to be taken were made to the athletes participating in the study. The identity information was used for the determination of the age of the athletes. The statures, body weights, leg strengths, index fingers (2d) and ring fingers (4d) of the dominant hands of athletes were measured. The measurement results were presented as arithmetic mean and standard deviation. Pearson Correlation Analysis was applied to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between the leg strength and finger length of the athletes. p<0.05 value was accepted as meaningful. As a result of the study, it was determined that there was a powerful relationship between the leg strength and 4d finger length of the athletes (r=0.631). Finally, based on the extant literature, the idea that there is a relationship between the dominance of testosterone hormone in human beings and 4d finger length can be commented as the fact that leg strength values of the athletes having 4d finger length is high. © JPES.Editura Universitatii din Pitesti2017Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/14973https://doi.org/10.7752/jpes.2017.s31502247-8051enJournal of Physical Education and Sportinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/14973
