Análisis longitudinal de las dimensiones corporales en adolescentes de la Escuela Nacional de Ballet de Cuba

In both girls and boys and all age groups, weight and height significantly increased, while growth velocity decreased with age. In girls in all age groups, statistically significant increases in height were found due to the lower extremity. No specific changes in variations in uncorrected muscle circumferences were found in either sex. Most skinfolds did not significantly decrease from one year to the next in girls while none of the skinfolds significantly increased in boys during the study.
