Abstract

This one labour it investigate impact and connectivity between motor vehicles anthropometric tests measures and measures on the bodily composition where the swimmers adolescents from different adults categories . The research includes 70 participants (35 male and 35 female), divided in three adults groups: wound adolescence (10–12 years), middle adolescence (13–16 years) and late adolescence (17–19 years). Six anthropometric measures (body height, weight, arm span, seat height, foot length and body mass index), two body composition assessment variables (percentage of fat and muscle mass) and two motor tests (critical speed) were applied of swimming and long jump).The results show significant differences between the age groups in all analyzed parameters. Older swimmers show greater physical maturity, with better performance on motor tests and better body composition. Anthropometric measures, such as body height and arm span, also increase with age, reflecting biological and training effects. The percentage of fat decreases significantly, while the percentage of muscle mass increases in older age categories. These findings emphasize the specific training needs of swimmers at different stages of adolescence and highlight the importance of a personalized approach in sports selection and preparation. The paper makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the complex relationship between physical characteristics and performance in young swimmers.

Key words: anthropometric measures, body composition, motor skills , swimming , adolescence
