  • Age and anthropometric characteristics of test persons (female football players (F) and rhythmic gymnasts (G)). Age (A), body mass (m), stature (h), sitting height (s), body mass index (BMI=m/h2), mass index (MI2=0.28 m/s2); for persons with Cormic index C=s/h=0.53 (ie, an average relative sitting height), BMI equals the MI.4 Data are expressed as: mean (±SD) followed by the [range]. Note: in accordance with common practice, ‘body, weight’ is used interchangeably with the correct term body mass.
