Introduction. Somatotype is the most accessible system for research, genetically determined, stable in ontogenesis and reflecting its dynamics, which is a significant parameter in assessing the consequences of sports [2].
The aim of the study is a theoretical analysis of the somatotypological characteristics of people of mature age and its relationship with long-term sports.
Methodology and organization of the study. The authors conducted a search for information in the databases Scopus, eLibrary, PubMed, Google Scholar using the keywords "somatotype", "morphometry", "somatometry".
The results of the study and their discussion. According to the studies of Ryan-Stewart H., Faulkner J., Jobson S., 36 male athletes of the mature age period (Great Britain)-the average age of 26±9.8 years – determined an anthropometric profile: average height-1.82±0.07 m, average body weight-79.5±12.9 kg; studies have demonstrated the relationship between somatotype and anaerobic performance, the prevalence of mesomorphy [3]. Lameira-de Oliveira G. and others it was found that 15 Paralympic football players (Brazil) of average age 24.0±5.7 years had somatotypes and body composition, the mesomorphic type prevailed in the players, and the meso – endomorphic type prevailed in the goalkeeper [1]. According to other studies, 24 men (average age – 23.2±2.91 years) had an anthropometric profile: average height-177.16±5.73 cm, average body weight-73.78±4.53 kg, average body mass index - 23.58±2.18; 2 groups were identified-ecto-and mesomorphs; differences in somatotypes do not change the magnitude of acute reactions to hypotension [4].
Conclusion. All of the above suggests the need for further systematic study of these issues in professional and sports orientation.
