测定了青少年奥林匹克运动员的身体组成和体型，以评价其在各种体育活动中的高熟练度的结构特征。对参加全国田径、体操、跳水、摔跤等项目比赛的145名男性青少年和133名女性青少年进行了水下称重和人体测量。男女青少年奥运会样本中最常见的差异涉及投掷项目（铅球、铁饼和标枪）的运动员，与所有或大多数其他竞争者相比，他们更高、更重、更胖，并且具有独特的体型。另外的结构差异，一般较小的量级，也存在于其他组的青年奥林匹克运动员之间。当青少年奥林匹克运动员与其他青少年运动员或非运动员进行比较时，也注意到身体成分特征的差异。
Body composition and somatotype were determined in Junior Olympic competitors to evaluate the structural characteristics concomitant to high proficiency in various athletic activities. Underwater weighings and anthropometric determinations of somatotype were performed on 145 male and 133 female adolescent participants in national meet competition in the sports of track and field, gymnastics, diving, and wrestling. The most frequent differences within either the male or female Junior Olympic samples involved the performers in throwing events (shot put, discus, and javelin), who were taller, heavier, fatter, and of unique somatotype when compared to all or most other competitors. Additional structural differences, generally of a lesser magnitude, also existed between other groups of Junior Olympians. Differences in body composition characteristics were also noted when Junior Olympians were compared with other adolescent athletes or non-athletes.
