The study of anthropometric data characteristic of highly qualified aesthetic gymnasts is important for sports orientation and selection in this type of spot. In addition, somatotype and body composition make an important contribution to the technical and aesthetic value of compositions, determining athletic performance. However, the anthropometric data of qualified aesthetic gymnasts remains completely unexplored. The aim of the work was to identify model anthropometric characteristics, J. Matiegka body composition, Heath-Carter somatotype indices of highly qualified aesthetic gymnasts (masters of sports, n = 12 and candidates for masters of sports, n = 12) compared with physically active girls («Control», n = 14). The MS gymnasts differed from the non-athletes by having larger shoulder
sizes with a narrower pelvis, smaller circumference of the forearm, hip and hips, as well as lower indicators of skin and fat folds on the shoulder in front and back, on the abdomen, on the waist and on the hip. The body weight of the MS gymnasts was reduced due to lower body fat and bone mass, leading to reduced endomorphy, with equal ecto- and mesomorphia. Thus, achieving high athletic performance in aesthetic gymnastics may be associated with thinner limbs, lower total and fat mass, and reduced endomorphism. These data can be of practical importance in sports orientation, selection and in the search for promising girls for aesthetic gymnastics.
