Research on Age and Body Shape of Excellent Men Skier of the Top Eight Countries in Recent Three Winter Olympic Games

Abstract

Four basic parameters(including age, weight, height and Quetelet’s index) of elite male skiers from the top eight countries on the 19th to 21th Winter Olympic Games has been researched and analyzed by such ways as literature research, mathematical statistics, and comparative research. . The result shows that the four basic parameters are not significantly different from each other (P>0.05) and are in a relatively stable and balanced state. Combined with the regionalization of competitive strength, the four parameters are divided and compared according to continents. There have no difference (P>0.05)between Europe and Asia in height, but significant difference in age, height and quetelet's index (P0.05); there is no difference between Asia and North America in height (P>0.05) and significant difference in other three parameters (P<0.05).
