The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics and relationship between somatotype and standing posture in Judoists and Kendoists. In this study the 245 male athletes from 15 sports events at the University of Tsukuba were classified as to their body type by the Heath Carter somatotype method. And measurement was taken of the spine curvatures, the difference of bi-acromion height, the weight distribution between right and left foot and the location of center of gravity in anterior posterior axis of foot.
The results were as follows:
1. The characteristics in somatotype of Judoists showed large mesomorphic and endomorphic components. The somatotype of Kendoists showed resemblance to that of Soccer and Tennis player.
2. The intensified dorsal curvature was one of the characteristics in Judoists' posture. Kendoists had a tendency to be inclined backward in head and neck position.
3. Judoists who showed endomorphic mesomorph type had a tendency to be inclined backward in their upper bodies. And Kendoists who showed ectomorphic mesomorph type had a tendency to shift their weight forward.
