Abstract

Some morphological characteristics and scores of Heath-Carter somatotypes
in 10-13-year-old children who are engaged in various types of martial arts and
children of the same age who are not involved in sports were compared. It was
found that children engaged in various types of martial arts in all indicators of
total body size surpass their peers who do not go in for sports. Among children
involved in judo, the predominance of endomorphy was established, in children
engaged in taekwondo - the predominance of mesomorphy, and in children not
going in for sports - the predominance of ectomorphy and endomorphy.
