Rhythmic gymnastics, a discipline combining artistry, flexibility, and precise physical execution, plays a significant role in shaping the morphofunctional indicators of young athletes. This paper examines the physiological, anatomical, and functional adaptations that occur in girls engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. By analyzing body composition, hormonal changes, and neuromuscular development, the study highlights the benefits and challenges posed by this sport. Recommendations are provided for training optimization to ensure long-term health and performance.
