Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy status among the 12 different men and women athletes in markazi province. Methods: For this purpose two hundred and eighty male athletes (age = 24.26 ± 2.52 years, height = 176.82 ± 5.65 cm, body mass = 69.03 ± 8.17 kg) and two hundred and eighty femal athletes (age = 21.34 ± 2.31 years, height = 163.38 ± 4.45 cm, body mass = 56.12 ± 7.15 kg) were tested at 2008-2009 season. The subject`s physiques were assessed using the heath-Carter anthropometric somatotype method. Descriptive statistics, independent samples- t- test, analysis of variance and Post LSD methods were used to test for significant differences among the mean somatotype ratings of the groups. Results: The average somatotype for sport participants was ( 2.60 – 5.37 – 2.27 ) for males and (2.61 – 3.72- 3.70 ) for females. The finding indicated that somatotype was also significantly different ( 0.001) between males and females groups. Conclude: We conclude that the predominance of mesomorphy on the other two components was found in all sport – groups examined. This was particularly evident in males competitors (females were endo–mesomorphs while males were balanced mesomorphs). A certain homogeneity in somatotypes was found within each sport in both sexes, with male groups showing more marked homogeneity than female groups, as (SAD) values indicats, on the other hand females showing greater homogeneity within the single sport groups than males.
