| Summary: | In this study, the relationship between fingerprints and the anaerobic power of athletes was
analyzed in a random sample group in correlation type. Fingerprints have been used
electronically for identification in forensic criminology and authentication in business and
social life with the development of dermatoglyphics science in the last century and the
understanding that fingerprints are unique to the individual. Today, it is known that much
research is being carried out to determine genetic characteristics, heredity, gender, character,
and ability analysis from fingerprints. In this study, the height and weight measurements of
126 athletes from Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Sports Sciences were taken with the
appropriate sampling method, and the vertical jump test was applied to the individuals. The
anaerobic power of the athletes was calculated with these collected data. The coding method
determined 10 fingerprints of the same sample group, and fingerprint classes and attributes
were determined by observation. According to the findings obtained from the data analysis, a
significant difference was observed between the anaerobic powers of the athletes according
to their fingerprint classes. The anaerobic power of athletes with W2 Normal fingerprint codes
has been observed to be higher than those without W2. However, it has been observed that
fingerprints in certain codes increase and decrease in direct proportion to anaerobic power.
In light of the data obtained in this study, limited but meaningful data were obtained in the
direction of detecting sportive skills from fingerprints.
