One of the important aspects of improving the effectiveness of training qualified divers is understanding the peculiarities of body component composition and the state of microcirculation. The aim of this study was to investigate the component body composition and microcirculation peculiarities of qualified divers diving from different types of gymnastic equipment. The study sample included 30 qualified divers, consisting of 17 girls and 13 boys aged 13 to 18 years. Body composition was assessed using bioimpedance analysis, and the functional state of the microcirculatory system was evaluated through laser Doppler flowmetry. The results indicated that divers who utilized the 10-meter tower exhibited a statistically significant decrease in adipose tissue content and an increase in fat-free mass and relative muscle mass compared to athletes in other diving disciplines. Additionally, a high level of tissue perfusion and microvascular reactivity was observed among the athletes. These findings are crucial for assessing and enhancing the training effectiveness of qualified diving athletes.

Among athletes, elite springboard divers (ED) should develop an optimal anticipatory control of postural stability, as a result of specific training. Postural strategies of ED and healthy subjects (HS) while expecting an impending perturbation were compared. The mean center of pressure (COP) position was analyzed during control quiet stance (cQS) and during anticipatory quiet stance (aQS
1–4
), i.e., in expectation of four backward translations of the support surface. During cQS, COP position in ED was not significantly different as compared to HS. During aQS
1–4,
a significant increase in the mean COP position was observed in both groups with ED adopting a more forward inclined vertical alignment than HS. In ED specific training may have resulted in a reference frame offset in a more anterior direction while expecting an impending perturbation. We suggest that leaning more forward may represent a more reliable way of coping with predictable perturbations of postural stability.
