We present the somatological characteristics of male college students belonging to sports club in a national university. Anthropometric measures were taken on a sample of 71 subjects, consisting of 25 track-and-field athletes, 12 soft tennis players, 12 soccer players, 12 handball players, and 10 judoists. Somatotype for each subject was calculated using the Heath-Carter method. Mean somatotype for all subjects was 2.4-4.6-2.6, and was similar to that for untrained young adults from literature. However, some differences in somatotype were observed among athletic events. Judoists had the highest scores of endomorphy and mesomorphy, and were different in somatotype among their classes. As for trackand- field athletes, throwers also had higher scores of endomorphy and mesomorphy than other runners and jumpers. Since elite adult players have a tendency to show an optimum somatotype for each athletic event, young non-elite players should make an effort to approach it.}, pages = {97--103}, title = {大学運動部員におけるソマトタイプの観察}, volume = {71}, year = {2016} }
