Abstract

The aim was to determine the peculiarities of linear sonographic dimensions of the uterus, its position and shape in the acrobats of the Ukrainian ethnic group of high level of sportsmanship in different periods of puberty. There were examined 122 acrobats of high level of sportsmanship. The girls’ passport age was between 8 and 21 years old. Internal genital organs of all girls were examined using ultrasound diagnostic system of expert class Voluson 730 Pro (ATL, Austria) with a convex sensor RAB2-5L. The analysis of the obtained results was carried out using the licensed package Statistica 5.5 and nonparametric methods of estimation of indicators. At the pre-pubertal age, acrobats had shorter (p < 0.05) uterine length and width than non-sport girls. Acrobats at puberty had a smaller uterine length (p < 0.01) and width (p = 0.057). At the post-pubertal age, acrobats had significantly smaller uterine length (p < 0.001) and width (p < 0.01) than in girls of the control group. The uterine thickness in all periods of ontogenesis did not differ significantly between the acrobats and girls of the control group.
