ANTHROPOMETRIC AND FUNCTIONAL CHANGES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP AFTER TWO-YEAR AEROBIC GYMNASTICS TRAINING
Keywords:
aerobic gymnastics, sports training, junior female competitors, anthropometric and functional characteristics.Abstract
The submitted study presents the results of 2-years observation of selected anthropometric (body height, body weight, BMI, fat mass and active body mass) and functional parameters (heart rate, systolic and diastolic bl ood pressure and QRSmax at rest and after loading) in the group of aerobic gymnastics juniors. We detected significant changes of all observed anthropometric parameters during two-years training. Moreover, functional characteristics of the heart rate and systolic blood pressure after load as well as the maximum QRS vector at rest and after load, were also significant altered. Applying the pair correlation function and regression analysis, we evaluated individually the mutual relationship of all observed parameters. Statistically significant correlation was found between the maximum spatial QRS vector (QRSmax at rest and even after the load) and the body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat mass and active body mass (ABM).
