Abstract

This study aimed to identify the correlational relationship between fat mass, body weight, and digital performance level among middle-distance runners. The descriptive correlational approach was used on a sample of 10 runners aged between 13 and 14 years, from the Bounouara Constantine team, during the
2016/2017 training season. The participants’ characteristics were as follows: age 13.65 ± 0.41 years, weight 48.84 ± 3.36 kg, and body mass index (BMI) 17.12 ± 0.62 kg/m². Anthropometric measurements were taken,including body weight and skinfold thickness (biceps, triceps, subscapular, and suprailiac) to estimate fat mass. A 1200-meter run test was conducted to assess the digital performance level.
