Abstract

In this article, somatotyping was carried out on athletes specializing in team sports - basketball, handball, volleyball, as well as athletes specializing in cyclic sports - athletics, cycling and swimming. Despite the similarity of a number of somatometric indicators, each sports specialization has distinctive features that correspond to the specifics and requirements of this sport. The somatic status of elite athletes indicates the homogeneity of the component composition and the narrowing of the range of constitutional types and the specificity of structural rearrangements of body components.
