A number of published studies have also indicated that there may be some association between incidence ofcancer and constitutional type. Sheldon, Hartl, and McDermott (1949) published some somatotype distributions of patients with cancer of the breast and uterus at the Presbyterian Hospital, New York, and the distributions showed the patients to be predominantly endomorphic mesomorphs. As this ...

Clothing resistance parameter rcl and potential evapotranspiration (PET), a major component of Thornthwaite type climate classifications, are used as thermal indicators for characterizing the Carpathian region. is simulated by model based on clothed human body energy balance considerations. refers to walking in outdoor conditions, whose somatotype can differ. Somatotype shapes determined applyi...

Background: Incidence of ACL injuries and physical parameters like age, sex, height, weight BMI has been studied intensely as a risk factor. Each them poses different factor for occurrence injuries. But body-built index-somatotype considers relative proportions fatness, muscle mass skeletal architecture in terms endomorphy, mesomorphy ectomorphy single individual which neutralises variables BMI...

Somatotype ratings and percentage body fat of 131 elite Nigerian male athletes, average 24.2 years of age, and belonging to badminton (n = 18), basketball (n = 30), field hockey (n = 24), handball (n = 16), judo (n = 18), and soccer (n = 25) teams were determined. Basketball, handball and soccer players were taller and heavier, and had low percent fat values as compared with the other athletic ...

Basketball is a team sport involving several types of players who differ in terms of body height and other morphological dimensions. This study aimed to establish and analyze the morphological characteristics of top young female European basketball players, the development levels of the morphological characteristics of three basic types of such players and any differences among them. The sample...
