Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the Body composition and fitness between elite and normal junior swimmers. Methods The data was collected from randomly selected (100 mal) sport healthy swimmers in Egypt in 2019.The variables consist of 22 items during three testes Swimming, Fitness and Physiological and Anthropometrical testes. Control value for each parameter was calculated as an average value mean and standard deviation ±SD. The level used for accepting significance was *P < 0.05 and **P<0.001 Results The relative changes were calculated for each subject, an individual mean value and skewness between elite swimmers and normal swimmers for all parameters. it was a different significant for elite swimmers in most of parameters vital capacity between elite and normal junior Swimmers for elite Swimmers (P=5.07) with a Correlation for 100 m freestyle (0.4608-**), in Body Mass(P=2.82) with a Correlation (0.5726-**), in Pull up (P=1.46), with a Correlation (0.232-*).vertical jump(P=2.86**) with a Correlation (0.2675-*). available test of 4×50m /10 sec (P=5.57**) with a Correlation (0.4583**).400m Run (P=3.71**)with a Correlation (0.3275**).10:20 Swim sprint (P=3.10**)with a Correlation (0.4061**).25:50 Swim sprint (P=7.78**)with a Correlation for 100 m freestyle (0.6045**). Grab/Track Start 15 m(P=2.41*) with a Correlation (0.3222**). Core Flexibility (P=4.12**) with a Correlation (0.4343-**). Core Flexibility (P=4.12**) with a Correlation (0.4343-**). Flexibility front Foot (P=2.74**) and Agility(P=2.15*) for the elite junior swimmers. Discussion. in Total and Specific Contribution Ratio: first Sprint (S), second Lead Body Mass (LBM), Third Reaction time (RT), fourth Core Flexibility (CF), fifth vital capacity (VC), sixth Shoulder Flexibility (SF).in a correlation for the 100 m freestyle time record. Conclusions. Common assessments of Body composition and specific physical fitness in elite swimmers explain more variance in competition performance than Normal swimmers, as well as for 100 m events. These findings highlight the need to empirically assess testing regimens and suggest new tests in physical fitness and Anthropometrical characteristics
Highlights
Swimming is one of the most interesting areas for testing sports anthropologists, primarily because of the specific conditions of the environment and its influence, or the observed relationship between the form and its function

Interest in the composition of the human body has been significantly growing with emphasis on maintaining a good ratio of components such as fat mass and lean body mass including muscle mass and water. (McArdle, W.D.; Katch, F.I, 2014), (Malá, L.; Zahálka,2017)In physical fitness, body composition is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone, water and muscle in human bodies.[1]
Summary
Swimming is one of the most interesting areas for testing sports anthropologists, primarily because of the specific conditions of the environment and its influence, or the observed relationship between the form and its function. Characteristics of the material the swim bodies have a great influence on the level of manifestation of a whole range of specific characteristics swimmer. A multitude of physical, physiological, biomechanical and psychological parameters influence performance. While body composition is believed to be an important contributor to performance in swimming, with some coaches placing a strong emphasis on it during the training preparation phase, previous research is limited and inconclusive Interest in the composition of the human body has been significantly growing with emphasis on maintaining a good ratio of components such as fat mass and lean body mass including muscle mass and water. (McArdle, W.D.; Katch, F.I, 2014), (Malá, L.; Zahálka,2017)In physical fitness, body composition is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone, water and muscle in human bodies.[1]. Because muscular tissue takes up less space in the body than fat tissue, body composition, as well as weight, determines leanness
