Abstract des Autors

Anthropological studies were conducted in November 1991 on 41 male and 18 female rowers aged 16 - 20 years. After a year of intense training the study was repeated on the same athletes. Significant changes in body measurements and components were found: increases in arm and chest circumferences, joint widths, and in the relative lean body mass. Changes in length and width of the skeletal frame were significant. Since the subjects were clearly terminating their growth, the observed changes, which were better expressed in men than in women, could be attributed to adaptation to high work loads. Verf.-Referat
