Features of morphological and functional characteristics of young swimmers 14–18 years

Abstract

Purpose: to develop the model of morphofunctional characteristics of the strongest young swimmers aged 14–18 years. Material and Methods: the anthropometric and functional measurements, questionnaires, testing of 60 swimmers aged 14–18 years, methods of mathematical statistics. Results: the characteristic features of the model of morphological and functional performance of young swimmers of different age groups were identified. Conclusions: taking the obtained results allow to determine the suitability of the sport and the prospects of young swimmers with higher probability, according to their age and stage of long-term preparation.
