Body composition changes during competitive season in young alpine skiers

The changes in body composition were monitored in 15 alpine skiers during competitive season. The body mass index increased at the end of the season, mostly evident in increase in circumference (probably muscle mass) in thigh and calf. The percentage of body fat varied through the competitive season. The values were the smallest at the end of the season (15,3%) while the values at the beginning and in the middle of the season were 16,04 and 16,74 respectively. The significance of the changes was determined by MANOVA.
