Background. Physical development is one of the generally recognized indicators of health. Scientific research aimed at studying the constitution and composition of the body of the male population ...using various techniques is an urgent task of modern medicine and human biology.
The aim of the study was to determine the somatotypological features of the physical development of yakut men according to the Rees-Eisenck index.
Materials and methods. An anthropometric and bioimpedance examination of 55 men of yakut nationality, the first and second periods of adulthood was conducted. The anthropometric part of the study included the measurement of body length and weight, waist and hip circumference, pelvic diameter and transverse chest diameter. Somatometric indices were calculated: BMI, Rohrer index, the ratio of waist circumference to buttocks. The definition of body types was carried out according to the Rees-Eisenck index. Bioimpedance measurement was carried out using the analyzer of body composition and balance of water sectors of the body ABC – 01 “Medass”. The amounts of relative and absolute fat mass, musculoskeletal mass, lean mass, active cell mass were determined. Statistical processing of the obtained material was carried out by parametric and nonparametric methods using the SPSS 17,0 application software package.
Results. The predominant body type was the picnic type (76,6%). Comparison of the indicators revealed significantly large values of body weight, BMI, waist and buttock circumference, transverse chest diameter, pelvic diameter and relative fat mass in persons with a picnic body type. Parameters of musculoskeletal mass, lean mass and total hydration of the body in picnics were significantly lower than those of normostenics. Overweight and obesity were significantly more often registered in persons with picnic somatotype.
Conclusion. Thus, the obtained anthropometric and bioimpedance data allow us to classify men with a picnical type of physique into a risk group for the development of pathology of different body systems.
Besarnya manfaat yang didapatkan atlet dengan mengetahui tipe tubuh yang dimilikinya, agar dapat mengetahui apa saja yang dibutuhkan oleh cabang olahraganya. Akan tetapi, pada pelaksanaannya belum ...banyak yang melakukan pengukuran somatotype dalam memilih calon atlet. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui somatotype atlet beladiri Tarung Derajat kategori Seni Gerak terhadap prestasi. Penelitian bersifat deskriptif kuantitatif menggunakan metode survei. Tes pengukuran antropometri dengan mengukur lebar tulang, lingkar tubuh, tebal lemak tubuh, berat badan dan tinggi badan. Teknik purposive sampling digunakan dalam menentukan sampel.

This study aims to determine the effect of the somatotype of the Tarung Derajat martial arts athlete in the Fighter category on achievement. Quantitative descriptive research using survey method. ...Anthropometric manual tests and measurements to determine the athlete's body type. The research sample consisted of 8 male athletes and 7 female Tarung Derajat Fighters in the West Kalimantan category, held at the Satlat Mujahiddin, Pontianak City. The data obtained in the field is the results of the somatotype measurement test and the achievement of Tarung Derajat athletes, then analyzed using descriptive percentages to analyze. The study results were 46% with endomorph mesomorph body type, 40% central, 7% endomorph, and 7% ectomorph mesomorph with local, national, and international achievements. The conclusion is that there is no influence between the somatotypes of the Tarung Derajat martial arts athletes in the Fighter category on achievement.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the anthropometric features used in the determination of somatotypes of patients with rotator cuff tears (RCT) and the condition before and after physiotherapy. ...In our study, 84 patients (43 female, 41 male) who were admitted to Tekirdağ State Hospital in 2020-2021 and diagnosed with RCT were included. Participants were grouped and evaluated in terms of age and gender. Visual analog scale (VAS) scoring for pain, Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) index, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) scores for shoulder function and range of motion (ROM) values were measured. The Heath-Carter method was used for somatotype determination. Conventional physical therapy was applied to patients. 64 (76.2%) patients had endomorph-mesomorph, 14 (17%) had mesomorph-endomorph, 4 (5%) had mesomorph-endomorph, 1 (1%) had balanced mesomorph and 1 (1%) had ectomorph-endomorph somatotype. 71.4% of the participants younger than 45 years of age and 50% of those between 45 and 55 had partial tears; 80% of those between 56 and 65 and 76.5% of those older than 65 had a complete tear. Of the patients, 53.3% had cardiovascular diseases, 41.3% had problems with the digestive system, 25% had diabetes, and 24% had problems with the musculoskeletal system. The presence of RCT in the non-dominant shoulder was detected in 33.5% of the patients. There were statistically significant differences between the median values of VAS, Quick DASH, WORC, SPADI, and ROM before and after physical therapy. Regardless of gender, RCT patients had predominantly mesomorphic body types. Individuals with mesomorphic body types are more likely to have RCT. The presence of full-thickness tears was found to be closely related to advanced age. Physiotherapy has been proven to be beneficial for RCT patients in our study.
Relevant properties of the somatotype as important indicators can be associated with the body composition characteristics as well as both metabolic and bio-mechanical efficiency of athletes in the ...sport concerned. The primary aim of this single cross-sectional study was to determine the somatotype profiles in association with body composition and nutritional profiles among Lithuanian elite athletes (
= 189) involved in water, cycling and combat sports. The body composition along with the somatotype profiles and the nutritional status of athletes were evaluated using a battery of multiple frequency (5, 50, 250, 550, and 1000 kHz) bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and a 3-day food record analysis. In terms of the prediction for athletes to be classified as endomorphs, mesomorphs or ectomorphs, the linear discriminant analysis was conducted to assess the grouping of samples. Both the multiple linear regression and multivariate logistic regression statistical analyses were performed to explore the associations between the independent and dependent variables. The central tendency values for the somatotype components of endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy in athletes playing water, cycling and combat sports were 4.3-4.9-3.4, 4.3-4.8-3.4 and 4.5-5.5-2.9, respectively. The central mesomorph somatotype with a trend towards endomorphy was dominant and varied according to a high muscle-to-fat ratio in elite athletes. Significant (
≤ 0.001) positive associations between both endomorphy and mesomorphy values and higher body fat percentage as well as lower and upper limb muscle mass were identified. The lower levels of trunk muscle mass were related to athletes' endomorphy and mesomorphy, too. Furthermore, in the athletes' sample under analysis, high-level mesomorphs were prone to consume low-carbohydrate (adjusted odd ratio (AOR) 0.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.2; 0.9) and high-protein diets (AOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1; 5.5). Contrastingly, the elite athletes with a higher expression of endomorphy were on high-carbohydrate (AOR 5.4, 95% CI 1.1; 8.3) and high-fat diets (AOR 4.6, 95% CI 1.5; 7.1) along with insufficient protein diet (AOR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1; 0.9). Finally, whilst nutrition goals as a mediator can play a significant role in undergoing the maintenance of balance between the optimal body composition for athletic performance and the development of an ecto-mesomorphic somatotype, the elite athletes with higher levels of endomorphy value should be aware of lowering the body fat percentage coupled with dietary fat reduction and higher protein intakes. The findings obtained from the study may serve as an antecedent for a more targeted management of the elite athletes' training process. Somatotyping as an additional assessment method can be successfully deployed in choosing correct coaching techniques, contributing to talent recognition processes or identifying reference morphometric parameters in elite athletes competing in water, cycling and combat sports.
