A total of 62 women: 20 kayakists, 22 judoists and 19 students participated in
the study, which consisted of the determination of: body dimensions and
components, maximal isometric torques M of the muscles, steroid excretion
and anaerobic power (of athletes only). The athletic women differed from the
students in greater lean body mass, chest and neck circumferences, isometric
strength in shoulder, knee and elbow joints, creatinine and estrogen
excretions. In addition, kayakists displayed higher maximal power in the 30 s
arm test than judoists.
