چکیده
0.4 1.0 0.8 Although the mean values indicate the younger British squad to be slightly taller, lighter and fatter, their ranges, in fact, span the mean American values for each parameter. The throwers, with a mean 16.0% body fat, are the same order of fatness as non-athletic males, reported by Fox and Mathews (1981) to be 16.8%, although Parizkova (1977) found a mean value of 12% for the 20-30 year-old age range. The hammer throwers are slightly fatter than the elite discus throwers and shot putters measured by Morrow et al (1982), and considerably fatter than javelin throwers, (8.5%, Morrow et al, 1982) and track athletes (6.3-7.5%, Fox and Mathews, 1981). Winter and Hamley (1976) found a value of 7.4% ± 2.5 for middle and long distance runners.
