Développement physique et psychologique de gymnastes féminines prépubères

| description | Our goals in this four-year study were to evaluate effects of moderate gymnastic practice on growth, fat mass, pubertal age, nutritionnal intakes, weight-control practice, psychological profiles, in matched-age 27 premenarche gymnasts and recreational sporting controls. G and C are gymnasts and controls, at the first year (G; C1) and at the fourth year (G4; C4). As most of gymnasts have dropped out (63%), we show the results of girls who have completed our study : 10 gymnasts and 20 controls.At the beginning of the study (T1), girls are 11,2 ± 0,9 years old. G1 training load is 11,9 ± 4,4 hours/week. Body mass index (BMI) of both groups are similar (17,0 ± 1,3 kg/m2) but G1 fat mass is lower. G1 and C1 nutritional intakes are similar (energy = 1649 ± 310 kcal/day; lipid = 38,8%; glucid = 46,2%). Protein intakes are high (1,9 ± 0,3 g/kg). Calcium and iron intakes are insufficient. G1 body dissatisfaction is low and weight-control practice is non-existent. Psychological profiles are the same in both groups.At time T4, BMI are the same (19,8 ± 1,9 kg/ m2) but G4 fat mass is lower (22,6 ± 3,1 vs 28,4 ± 5,7% ; p = 0,008). Both groups’ nutritionnal intakes do not increase from T1 to T4. Psychological profiles are the same, except that gymnasts’ asthenia increases and controls’ shyness with strangers decreases. Consultation for back and join complains concern 5/10 gymnasts; 8/10 stopped training because of injuries.In conclusion, moderate gymnastic practice does not seem to alter gymnasts physical and psychological development. It is necessary to be careful to improve gymnasts’nutrition and to decrease injuries. |
