Anthropometric features of sexual dimorphism of acrobats

The article examines the anthropometric indicators, from the standpoint of sexual dimorphism, of acrobats and female acrobats of various roles and non-sports persons aged 9 to 23, representatives of the Dnipropetrovsk region. The purpose of the study: the study of the physical status of acrobats and people who do not play sports, which is considered from the point of view of sexual dimorphism. It was found that acrobat girls lag behind the control group in terms of length, body weight, arm length, leg length (cm), chest circumference (both on inhalation and exhalation). The acrobats above, aged 15-16 years (162.23±1.96 cm) in comparison with control groups (168.28±2.54 cm) are characterized by lower height and low body weight in acrobats 13-14 years (39.23±2.12 kg vs. control group 49.64±2.98 kg), narrow pelvis and average shoulder width. A comparative analysis of body weight composition between acrobats of different roles and genders showed that there are moderate to high correlations between body fat and muscle mass indicators and competition results (scores).
