Monitoring of Anthropometric Characteristics of Swimmers

The aim of this research was the monitoring of anthropometric characteristics development of chosen male junior and age group swimmers of SUT Trnava swimming team. We have been realising the measurement of chosen anthropometric characteristics of the body of male junior and age group of swimmers in cooperation with SUT Trnava swimming team since 2006. We have found out the same somatic preconditions at this selected group of swimmers during last four annual training cycles. The clear benefit of our research is longitudinal monitoring and evaluation of anthropometric characteristics of the swimmers’ bodies, allowing the exact and numerical evaluation of dynamics of somatic assumptions at monitored swimmers with a perspective on the quality of swimming performance.The aim of this research was to monitor the development of anthropometric characteristics in male junior swimmers of SUT Trnava swimming team. Since 2006 and with the cooperation of SUT Trnava swimming team; observations of anthropometric characteristic measurements of selected male junior swimmers were undertaken. It was established that during the last four training cycles, the same somatic preconditions exist in the subjects. It is clear that the benefit of this research is longitudinal monitoring and evaluation of anthropometric characteristics of the swimmers allows the exact and numerical evaluation of the dynamics of somatic assumptions of the monitored swimmers with a perspective on the quality of swimming performance
