1No particular style. But I think a lot of people would call those 'pictograms' ala the Olympic Pictograms: rio2016.com/en/more-information/games-design/pictograms – DA01 Dec 15 '15 at 1:04

a pictogram or pictograph is a symbol, it doesn't implicate any particular style. – Luciano Dec 15 '15 at 11:02

Pictogram or icon would be the most likely term used for these types of figures. See Wikipedia's article for more information. Of graphic design interest would be the image of the swimming pictogram signage from the 1972 Munich Olympics in that article.
