摘要：Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the level of the somato-functional development and to analyze therelationship between their indicators in junior female gymnasts aged 12 to 15 years.Methods. A number of 6 gymnasts of 12 to 15 years old (members of the Romanian junior team of women’sartistic gymnastics) participated in this study. The somato-functional data were collected from the individual datasheets of the gymnasts after the medical examination made in the National Institute of Sports Medicine focusing onthe anthropometric data, functional explorations and correlation between the studied indicators.Results. The results of the anthropometric and functional indices of the junior female gymnasts aged 12 – 15years reveal changes of the means relative to the standard deviation and differences between tests of t – parametrictest related to the significance threshold of p < 0.05 and correlative connections in initial testing between thefunctional indices in lying down position at the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and the somatic indices (SI): SI2, R= -0.88, SI5, R = -0.85, SI6, R = -0.95, SI7, R = -0.96, SI8, R = -0.81 and between DBP in orthostatism and SI9, R =-0.87. As for the final testing, in lying down position at the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and SI2, R = -0.82, SI5,R = -0.86, SI6, R = -0.92, SI7, R = -0.97 and SI8, R = -0.81 and between SPB in lying down position and SI10, R =-0.84.Conclusions. It has been confirmed that the performance artistic gymnastics has an influence on the somato-functional changes of the junior female gymnasts aged 12 to 15 years and that there are significant correlativeconnections between the studied indices.
