The aim of this study is to examine the morphological characteristics of the longitudinal body segments of young, pre-pubescent swimmers (11 years old) undergoing growth. It also seeks to provide potential answers to certain questions concerning the health and growth status of Algerian child athletes and to present their profile in relation to existing international literature. Understanding the rate of morphological development of longitudinal segments and their homogeneity within overall body growth is also of particular importance for epidemiological studies in Algeria.
