Somatotype and habitus parameters may affect physiological control system, so the changes of physiological parameters are not the same when various people work in hot-dry and warm-wet climates. In this paper, a chamber built in Tianjin University was used to simulate comfortable, hot-dry and warm-wet climates. Sixty healthy university students were selected as subjects who were divided into fou...

Nutrition is an integral part of the formation of fat and muscle and affects anthropometric parameters. Measurement of growth and weight gain can be used to characterise the physical development of human beings. Weight-to-height parameters can be used to determine body types (somatotypes). Somatotypes have recently been studied due to their link to various diseases, including diet-related ones....

Nine hundred and ninety seven school children of Nepal age ranged from 6 to 11 year were studied for their somatotype characteristics. Endomorphy-Mesomorphy-Ectomorphy components were calculated using Heath-Carter Somatotype method. Average Endomorphy components for 6,7,8,9,10, and 11 year old boys were 3.0 (±1.8), 3.3(±1.8), 3.1(±1.4), 2.7(±1.0), 3.0(±1.2) and 2.7(±0.7) respectively. Average m...

The aim of this cross-sectional research was to study the age changes in somatotype components of rural and urban Punjabi Brahmin females, ranging in age from 40 to 70 years. Urban Brahmin females (6.05-4.131.33) are more endomorphic and mesomorphic, but less ectomorphic than their rural counterparts (5.69-3.74-1.76). Both the rural and urban Brahmin females of present study demonstrate dominan...

Study Purpose. Somatotype is a parameter used to determine criteria based on body type. However, not many have done somatotype measurements in selecting prospective athletes. This study aims analyze the of athletes Tarung Derajat martial arts sport Material and Methods. research uses descriptive methods with survey types quantitative approaches, namely an anthropometric measurement test identif...

The studies of the somatotype allow us to know the quantified description of the morphological configuration of the individual, through endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy. Due to the acquisition of new eating habits along with a greater sedentarism in the child and adolescent population, it has been speculated that they have generated modifications in the morpho functional structure. This th...

Canadian female junior soccer players were evaluated for their anthropometrical characteristics including somatotype and body composition with a aim to evaluate with their international counterparts. 18 female soccer players with an average age of 16(±0.5) of a local club were assessed during their peak season time . Somatotype was assessed using HeathCarter method and body composition ( Fat%) ...

In this study we present the morphological characteristics of 54 Croatian national level track-and-field athletes. 21 anthropometric body measures were taken on a sample of 15 sprinters (S), 16 endurance sprinters (S4), 10 middle-distance runners (MD) and 13 long-distance runners (LD). Body fat percentage, body mass index and somatotype were also calculated. Canonical discriminative analysis sh...

Fifty-three specialist women physical education students were measured anthropometrically and from these measurements somatotype and body composition were estimated. Leg, back and grip strength dynamometers were used to measure strength indices. Arm strength was calculated from each subject's pull-ups and push-ups and lung capacity was measured using a spirometer. The somatotype ratings and per...
