The article concerns figure skating competitors. Figure skating is a very demanding discipline. It requires a combination of endurance, strength and flexibility. The training ground is ice, which puts strain on the muscles and skeleton. Young children often train more than is healthy for a young and growing body. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of training on the height and weight of female skaters.
181 measurements were taken from three skating clubs, and a survey was conducted among skaters' parents about skaters' siblings.
Female skaters are relatively shorter and lighter than their peers, but the differences were not statistically significant. Significant differences were noted between girls whose sisters do not do sports.
The results suggest the influence of genetic factors and selection processes on the morphology of the skaters' body.
本文关注花样滑冰运动员。花样滑冰是一项要求极高的运动项目。它需要耐力、力量和柔韧性的结合。训练场地是冰面，这会给肌肉和骨骼带来压力。年幼的孩子经常进行超出其正在生长发育的身体所能承受的健康范围的训练。本研究的目的是确定训练对女花样滑冰运动员身高和体重的影响。
从三个滑冰俱乐部获取了181份测量数据，并就滑冰运动员的兄弟姐妹情况对其父母进行了一项调查。
女花样滑冰运动员相对同龄人更矮、更轻，但差异无统计学意义。在姐妹不从事体育运动的女孩之间存在显著差异。
结果表明遗传因素和选拔过程对花样滑冰运动员身体形态有影响。
