The study of somatometry parameters and body composition in elite athletes helps to assess the athletic form and adaptation of the body to serious physical activity. It is turn out that the height, weight, chest circumference, body-mass index, content of fat, water, muscle, bone mineral mass in non-athlets and athlets with normostenic and giperstenic somatotype are ambiguous. Rowers with a strong somatotype had an increase in fat content compared to athletes with a normal somatotype. This data should be taken into account at selecting rowers for elite sports.
