Abstract

The article considers a comparative assessment of the physique indicators of highly qualified athletes specializing in cyclic sports. Studies have shown that morphological characteristics that have prognostic significance at the initial stages of a long–term training process and retain their informativeness as athletes compete in cyclic sports increase in athletic skill include: body length and weight, chest circumference, thigh length, lower leg, thigh and lower leg muscle mass, and the somatotype most appropriate to the needs of this specialization includes - ecto-mesomorphic somatotype.
