Abstract

This study has for an object to compare the somatotypologic particularities of different professional categories-drivers, mechanics, molders. 608 persons-men from 30 to 50 years aged and specialty length of service over 10 years, are studied. Each one are taken 10 anthropometric traits according to the Martin-Sailer's method. The somatotype of each professional group is determined by the Heath-Carter's method. The obtained results show, the workers in the 3 professional groups pertain to the endo-mesoomorphyc type. However, this percent distribution is different. Most homogenous in terms of their somatotype are the molders. The average quantities of the three somatotypic components showed differences, too. The drivers are with the highest endomorphy. The molders with the highest mesomorphy and the mechanics with the highest ectomorphy.
