## 3 Results  
Table 1 presents descriptive indicators of all the measured variables: arithmetic mean, standard deviation, median, and minimum and maximum results. The sensitivity analysis was based on coefficients of asymmetry and peakedness of distributions, whereas the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test the normality of distributions. \begin{table}

Table 1: Descriptive statistics of anthropometric and somatotype variables of ILCA 7 sailors (N = 97). Coefficients of asymmetry for variables _subscapular skinfold_ and _supraspanale skinfold_ indicate a slightly positive asymmetry. Coefficients of peakedness indicate a somewhat lower sensitivity of the _legs fat mass_ and _subscapular skinfold_ variables. Although the kurtosis and skewness values indicate a weak sensitivity of the aforementioned variables used, the KS test found that there is no significant deviation from the normal distribution. Table 2 presents the descriptive parameters (arithmetic means and standard deviations), results of univariate analysis of differences (ANOVA; coefficient of analysis of variance and significance of differences), and results of the _post-hoc_ analysis of differences carried out using _[PERSON]'s LSD test_ (significance of differences). Significant differences in arithmetic means between the three groups of elite sailors according to the general competitive success criterion were found for _age, body mass, muscle mass, trunk muscle mass, leg muscle mass, biepicondilar humerus width, sum of skinfolds, triceps skinfold, supraspanale skinfold, medial calf skinfold_ and _endomorphy rating_ between the groups of elite sailors according to the general competitive success criterion. _Post-hoc_ analysis revealed significant differences between groups of sailors at different levels of general competitive success in the variables _age_ (higher vs. medium and higher vs. lower), _body mass_ (higher vs. lower and medium vs. lower), _muscle mass_ (higher vs. lower and medium vs. lower), _trunk muscle mass_ (higher vs. lower and medium vs. lower), _arm muscle mass_ (medium vs. lower), _legs muscle mass_ (higher vs. lower and medium vs. lower), _biepicondilar humerus width_ (higher vs. lower), _sum of skinfolds_ (higher vs. lower and medium vs. lower), _triceps skinfold_ (higher vs. lower and medium vs. lower), _supraspanale skinfold_ (medium vs. lower), _medial calf skinfold_ (higher vs. lower), and _endomorphy rating_ (higher vs. lower and medium vs. lower). The effect size of these differences was high for the variable age, moderate for the variables muscle mass, trunk muscle mass, legs muscle mass, sum of skinfolds and triceps skinfold, and low for body mass, biepicondilar femur width, supraspanale skinfold, medial calf skinfold, and endomorphy rating.
