STUDY REGARDING THE DYNAMICS OF DEVELOPING SOMATIC AND FUNCTIONAL INDICES IN JUNIOR GYMNASTS AGED 12 TO 15

Abstract

In this paper we have introduced the morpho-functional peculiarities of junior gymnasts aged 12-15. The hypothesis of the study started by assuming the performance of the medical and sportive check-up, we will be able to make up the athletes’ physiometric check-up and emphasize the junior gymnasts’ main components of physical development and enhancement. We also suppose the analysis of the results will determine the health state dynamics of the gymnasts to be trained during the respective training period. In order to underline the performance gymnasts’ functional aspects, we performed a study at the Olympic Junior Lot of Artistic Gymnastics that took place during 2012 and 2013 on a group of 14 junior I and junior II athletes. Within our research, performed during three stages, we used the data of the medical check-up files at the National Institute of Sportive Medicine of Bucharest. Statistic processing has been performed in Word and KyPlot. The results of the study show the junior gymnasts’ morho-functional peculiarities, aged 12 to 15, regarding the increase of somatic indices, the increase of proportional anthropometric indices and the improvement of functional capacity. We also noted the medical and sportive check-up performed underlined the main components of junior gymnasts’ development and enhancement check-up and their fitness level.
