Norm values of the bodily efficiency inform about the level of health and development of the growing-up generation. Anthropometric results from 550 healthy sporting girls of the town Weissenfels aged 9 till 12 years are given in tabulated form (means and standard deviations from 8 anthropometric parameters) differentiated in regard of the biological age of the girls. Impressive differences can be seen. Consequences for the practice are discussed. The given results may be compared with the corresponding ones for boys also aged from 9 till 12, presented before in this journal.
