Morphological characteristics of elite athletes, specializing in speed climbing, climbing and alpinism

Purpose. The study involved 26 world-class athletes: 10 - speed climbing, 10 - climbing difficulty, 6 - climbers. Age 19-22 years amounted to athletes. Results . Revealed that body length was significantly higher in speed climbing representatives compared with representatives of climbing difficulty. Do climbers - significantly higher compared with the complexity of climbing. Body weight at the highest climbers, significantly higher compared with the climbing on the complexity. It is shown that span most climbers, shoulder length at the highest climbers (climbing speed). Revealed that the greatest hip girth representatives speed climbing. Conclusions . Identified by morphological characteristics of athletes associated with specific training and competitive process and selection of sports.
