- The study explored the differences in physical and physiological traits between male and female Hungarian rowers across three age categories: juniors (15-16 years), older juniors (17-18 years), and seniors (19-22 years).
- In all age groups, females showed higher body fat percentages, while males had greater measures in body mass, height, and muscle mass.
- The research indicated that sexual dimorphism increases with age, suggesting that training strategies should be tailored to suit the varying needs of different age and gender groups in rowing.
