THE EFECTS OF RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS TRAINING ON ENDURANCE CAPACITY, HEMATOLOGIC PARAMETERS AND NUTRIENT INTAKE IN 9-12 YEARS OLD GIRLS

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 15 weeks of rhythmic gymnastics training, on selected hematologic variable endurance capacity, daily nutrient intake to compare these results with sedentary controls.
Subject of this study were 12 female rhytmic gymnasts (x!0.17±I .03) trained for 15 weeks, 12 hours/week. Hematologic parameters and endurance capacity were measured at the hegining and at the end of the training season. Nutrition habits of both the subjects and the controls were followed for three days and total caloric ingestion were calculated.

The gymnasts were lower in weight (28.00±3.43) and % body fat (14.9±0.84) compared with controls. After the training season hematologic parameters (RBC, MCW, Hb, Htc) and endurance capacity of gymnasts were significantly inreased compared to controls. PWC 170, V02max and resting heart rates showed significant differences in between the two groups (p<0.05).

We conclude that rhytmic gymnasts training 12 hours/week in 9-12 years old girts has positive effects for health and performance parameters.
