Comparative characteristics of anthropometric indicators of highly qualified athletes engaged in acrobatic rock and roll and sports aerobics

This work analyzes the morphological indicators of highly qualified female athletes involved in acrobatic rock and roll and sports aerobics. As a result, it was found that athletes involved in sports aerobics are ahead of athletes involved in acrobatic rock and roll in almost all studied indicators (total body dimensions, circumferences, diameters and width of distal bones epiphyses). The rock and roll athletes surpass their peers in skinfolds thickness. Consequently, girls involved in sports aerobics have a higher percentage of muscle mass,and girls involved in acrobatic rock and roll have a higher percentage of fat mass.
