Abstract
Anthropometric characteristics of proportionality, body composition and somatotype have been determined in a group of 72 Spanish judoists. The sample includes the junior male and female National Team, and seniors competitors in the last Olimpic Games held in 1992, and participants in the National Championship of 1993. The methodology has been used according to Weiner and Lourie(1981)and MOGAP procedures described by Borms et al. (1979). The obtained results show a similar proportionality profile and mesoendomorphic mean somatotype in both male and female series. However, were found significant differences between sexes as well as depending of weight categories.
