The article presents anthropometric changes in body parts of 7-8-year-old girls involved in rhythmic gymnastics. The study was conducted with the participation of 40 girls involved in gymnastics and 40 girls who do not participate in sports. It was revealed that girls from rhythmic gymnastics lag behind their peers who do not go in for sports in terms of body weight and height. The upper limbs and length of the lower limbs, on the other hand, is longer for gymnasts.
