The emergence of lightweight rowing as an international sport has made the optimization of physique within the weight restrictions a matter of primary importance in selection and training of the participants. The occasion of the Xth Pan American Games provided opportunity to obtain comprehensive anthropometric data on 20 male and 13 female lightweight rower finalists including most of the medal winners. Anthropometric characteristics, somatotype, and proportionality profiles showed the male rowers to be similar in most aspects to a student control sample, with the exception of short sitting height and large transverse chest breadth. The females, on the other hand, appeared to be very different from the control sample, having a number of characteristics similar to those of Olympic rowers. The female lightweight rowers also uniquely demonstrated two distinct physique prototypes.
轻量级赛艇作为一项国际体育项目的出现，使得在体重限制范围内优化体格成为参与者选拔和训练中的首要重要事项。第十届泛美运动会为获取包括大部分奖牌获得者在内的20名男性和13名女性轻量级赛艇决赛选手的全面人体测量数据提供了契机。人体测量特征、体型和比例概况表明，男性赛艇选手在大多数方面与学生对照样本相似，但坐姿身高较短和胸围横向较宽除外。另一方面，女性赛艇选手似乎与对照样本有很大不同，具有一些与奥运会赛艇选手相似的特征。女性轻量级赛艇选手还独特地展示了两种不同的体格原型。
