N2  - The purpose of this studywas to examine the effects of 36 weeks of rhythmic gymnastics training andnutrition on growth to compare with sedantary controls. Subjects were 12prepubescent female rhythmic gymnasts and 7 controls. A complete physicalexamination with accurate measurements of height, weight, staging of sexualdevelopment according to Tanner and detemination of skeletal age according toGreulich-Pyle was performed. Nutrition habits of both the subjects and thecontrols were followed for three days and total caloric ingestion werecalculated. Blood samples for GH and IGF-I were measured by the Endocrine Laboratoryat A.Ü. ibn-i Sina Medical Center.Data were analyzed by repeated measurementvariance analysis by using SPSS 7.0 computer program.The gymnasts were lowerheight (1.35 ± 0.05 m, 1.38 ± 0.05 m, 1.40 ± 0.05 m; 1.39 ± 0.06 m, 1.43 ± 0.06m, 1.49 ± 0.08m), weight (27.50 ± 3.53kg, 28.00 ± 3.44kg, 29.50 ± 3.90 kg;34.57 ± 7.04kg, 37.43 ± 6.24 kg, 37.71 ± 6.99 kg), body fat (14.95 ± 0.92 %,14.40 ±1.03 %, 14.20 ± 0.90 %; 21.88 ± 4.10 %, 20.54 ± 3.76 %, 20.52 ± 3.27 %),BMI (15.11 ± 0.81 kg/m2, 14.57 ±0.92 kg/m2, 14.80 ± 1.05kg/m2; 17.76 ± 3.06 kg/m2, 18.31 ± 2.58 kg/m2,16.88 ± 2.60 kg/m2), daily calori intake (1370 ± 151.37 kkal., 1247± 220.53 kkal, 1306 ± 194.46 kkal.; 2288 ± 288.41kkal., 2288 ± 288.41kkal.,2410.42 ± 185.18 kkal) compared with controls. The gymnasts bone age wasretarded (9.33 ± 1.13 vs 10.1± 1.00) when compared with cronological age. Therewere significantly differences in IGF-I levels (148.08 ± 18.21 ng/ml, 200.00 ±61.65 ng/ml, 209.83 ± 41.94 ng/ml; 148.71 ± 32.03ng/ml, 225.70 ±91.08ng/ml,243.71 ± 56.08 ng/ml) between gymnasts and controls. In conclusion, intensivephysical training combined with inadequate caloric intake markedly affectspubertal development of elite female gymnasts.
