dc.description.abstractIn acrobatic gymnastics there are specific morphological functional differences between bases (B) and tops (T). Previous studies show that T are significantly less tall, lighter and with less fat mass; and, that the competitive level influences these differences. In this study, weight, height, experience and competitive level was collected, and weight index (WI), lean body mass index (LBMI), body mass index (BMI), and percentiles 5 and 95 were estimated for 64 athletes (11.73 ± 2.76 years of age, 148.77 ± 16.56cm in height, 40.49 ± 12.59kg in weight, BMI = 17.79 ± 2.47, WI = 98.87 ± 2.66, 4.64 ± 2.91 years of experience, 24 T, 7 boys). The results revealed: i) no significant differences between genders; ii) a significant difference between T and B in height and weight, with a proportion from T to B of 87.44% and 62.83%, respectively; iii) a significant difference between T and B in BMI and LBMI, with a proportion from T to B of 63.52% and 117.74%, respectively; iv) no significant difference between T and B in WI; v) a significant inverse association between competition level and WI; vi) a LBMI of B and T significantly higher than the normal median value. Therefore, in young acrobatic gymnasts there is already a higher lean mass, mainly in B, and a lower fat mass, that evolves with competition level. WI and LBMI are important for the morphological profile of young athletes. Representative sample size in males and direct anthropometric collections are required.pt_PT
