Anthropometric and Morphological Characteristics of Runners
In this sudy we present the anthropometric and morphological characteristics of 46 national level track-and-field athletes. 20 morphological body measures were taken on a sample of 15 sprinters (S), 13 endurance sprinters (S4), 9 middle-distance runners (MD) and 9 long-distance runners (LD). Body fat percentage, body mass index and body constitution type were also calculated. Canonical discriminative analysis showed significant difference between the athletes of various running events, for the measures of body volume and body fat, and no significant difference in the variables of longitudinal and transversal dimensions of the skeleton. ANOVA and Student t-test for independent samples showed statistically significantly higher thigh and lower leg circumference in sprinters, as well as greater upper arm skinfold in middle-distance runners. The mesomorphic component is a dominant characteristic of body constitution of the runners in all events, whereas the ectomorphic component is the least marked.
