Abstract des Autors
Body density was measured by hydrostatic weighing in two groups of premenarcheal girls; 9 experienced gymnasts (age range 9-11 years) and a comparison group of 12 similarly aged girls who were not involved in regular physical training. The gymnasts were significantly lighter and shorter (p < .01) than the comparison group. They also had higher body densities and nearly 9 percent less relative body fat (p <.0.1) than the comparison group. It was concluded that repetitive gymnastic training may influence the body composition of premenarcheal girls by increasing lean body mass and decreasing fat mass. Verf.-Referat
