Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research was the monitoring of anthropometric characteristics development of chosen male junior and age group swimmers of SUT Trnava swimming team. We have been realising the measurement of chosen anthropometric characteristics of the body of male junior and age group of swimmers in cooperation with SUT Trnava swimming team since 2006. We have found out the same somatic preconditions at this selected group of swimmers during last four annual training cycles. The clear benefit of our research is longitudinal monitoring and evaluation of anthropometric characteristics of the swimmers’ bodies, allowing the exact and numerical evaluation of dynamics of somatic assumptions at monitored swimmers with a perspective on the quality of swimming performance.
