Sažetak
The aim of the research was to analysis development and the age structure of male and female participants at the Olympic Games (OG) and World Championships (WC) from 2003 until 2016. The total number of analyzed WC participants in men's artistic gymnastics (MAG) was 2678 and the women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) was 1981 ; while at the OG in MAG 391 and in WAG 389. In the last 15 years, there has been identified a linear and second-order polynomial- regression increase in the age structure of participants in MAG and WAG in the largest world competitions. In the analyzed period of time, MAG and WAG age of gymnasts increased. The male gymnasts from 2003 to 2016 are on average older for 2.3 years and female gymnasts for 3.3 years. In the upcoming period, we do expect (with apparatus specialization) that age will rise.
