Title: [Morphofunctional profile of Puerto Rican gymnasts]. Author: Rivera MA, Rivera Brown A. Journal: Bol Asoc Med P R; 1990 Aug; 82(8):347-52. PubMed ID: 2261026. Abstract: This study described the body composition, somatotype, physiological maturity, flexibility and cardiorespiratory endurance of 30 gymnasts (feminine; n = 12 and masculine; n = 18) pre selected for the puertorican national team and compared the results with those reported in the literature. There were significant differences between the sexes in body fat, lean body mass, ISA, CMB, AMB, endomorphy, mesomorphy, sum of skinfolds, flexibility and VO2max (L.min-1), (p less than .05). The results are within the range reported in the literature for elite gymnasts.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
