The aim of this study is to describe anthropometric characteristics of elite athletes in rhythmic gymnastics and to evaluate if dimensional parameters have an effect on the success level in this sport. As frequently confirmed in the literature the rhythmic athletes generally respect a specific anthropometric profile required by the sport (Di Cagno et al., 2008; Douda et al., 2008; Gonçalves et al. 2010) but we would like to evaluate if the higher level athletes differ further compared to other athletes, however, referred to a high competitive level.
