Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2009, Vol 25, Issue 6
Abstract
[b]Background.[/b] The aim of the study was to evaluate of development of chosen morphological features at 14-18 year-old female ballet school students, to analyze their body build type according to Sheldon’s typology, and to determine the correlation among chosen morphological features. [b]Material and methods.[/b] The research was conducted on 90 female students of two ballet schools. Ten anthropometrical measurements were considered. Statistical analysis was done depending on the age of the subjects. Arithmetic means, standard deviations and correlations were calculated . [b]Results.[/b] Female ballet schools students were characterized by lower body weight and height than it is stipulated by developmental norms for children and youth of big Polish cities. Values of skin-fat folds were lower in comparison to non-training children. Analysis of Sheldon’s somatic distribution showed that balance of all three components was the largest in 14-year-old girls. In older girls, the endo-ectomorphic build type was prevailing. The imposition of mean values of BMI index of female students in different age groups on centile grids , indicated the distribution of the results of the subjects on the line of 25 centiles. The research proved the existence of strong correlations between the morphological features examined. [b]Conclusions.[/b] Research results may prove the beneficial influence of physical effort directed towards learning classical dance on the level of chosen morphological features and body build of female ballet schools students.
