体操是一项基础性运动，它是在“人在体佐野”的哲学思想指导下发展起来的。这种观念假定身体和灵魂是和谐的。我们也可以在这样一个终点下理解运动身体的灵活性。我们调查的目的是确定体操运动员的身体是否对称。对参加2000年卢布尔雅那世界杯比赛的40名高水平体操运动员（平均年龄23岁）进行了13项人体测量，包括关节直径、围度和左右侧皮褶厚度。虽然左腿和右腿参数之间没有差异，但左臂和右臂测量值之间存在一些显著差异。我们发现肘径，前臂周长，肱三头肌和肱二头肌皮褶厚度有显着差异。教练员控制运动员的对称性是有益的，因为这种差异可能是单侧手臂过载的标志，并预测急性或慢性损伤。
Gymnastics is a basic sport, which was developed under a philosophic idea "Mens sana in corpore sano". Such an idea supposes harmonized body and soul. We can also understand under such a terminus the symmetricity of the athletic body. Aim of our investigation was to determine whether gymnast's body is symmetric. On the sample of 40 top level gymnasts (average age of 23 years) who were attending World Cup Competition in Ljubljana in the year 2000 we measured 13 anthropometric characteristics - joint diameters, circumferences and skinfold thicknesses on the left and right side. While there were no differences between the left and right leg parameters, there were some significant differences between the left and right arm measures. We found significant differences in elbow diameter, circumference of forearm, and skin fold thicknesses of triceps and biceps brachii. It is beneficial for coaches to control the symmetry of their athletes as the differences may be a sign of single-sided arm overload and predict acute or chronic injuries.
