The main aim of this study was to evaluate the intensive gymnastic training effects on the somatic and bone developments in a population of peripebertal females. Intensive impact loading exercise is known to improve the skeletal bone mass probably by a mechanical action on the skeleton. It can also act on hormonal and biochemical changes. This longitudinal study has assessed the somatic and bone dvelopments in young female gymnasts compared to a control group in prepuberty. By means of a cross-sectional study we have also compared the two groups and evaluated the training effects on urinary androgens (testosterone, androstenedione, S-DHEA) and cortisol rates. The response of the bone turnover(CTx) has also been studied. The main results were : 1)intensive impact loading exercise improve the bone mass accretion. 2)the chronic gymnastic training has no effect(s) on the somatic growth in prepubertal gymnasts, 3) intensive gymnastics seems to modify only urinary androstenedione concentration, 4) chronic gymnastic training seems to stimulate the bone resorption. Intensive gymnastic training carried out during puberty appears to improve the bone mass and density in our female subjects. The mechanism of the bone remodelling is probably involved in such phenomenom. Furthermore, intensive training does not seem to influence androgens and cortisol excretions that could act on the bone mass accretion
