The body composition of 36 professional Sumo wrestlers and 39 collegiate male students were assessed densitometrically. The means of body weight, BMI and %fat for Sumo wrestlers were 117.1 kg, 36.5 and 26.2%, extraordinarily large compared with untrained men (p < 0.001). Results of the analysis of variance of divisions of Sumo wrestlers revealed significant differences in body weight, fat-free mass, fat mass, BMI, fat-free mass index (FFM/height2) and fat mass index (FM/height2). For the visual expression of the hierarchical differences of body composition, fat mass index and fat-free mass index of the wrestlers in various leagues were plotted on a body composition chart. Wrestlers in the Sekitori division had significantly larger fat-free mass index scores in comparison with wrestlers from the lower divisions who share a common area of the chart. The cut-off point of fat-free mass index which divided Sekitori wrestlers from other wrestlers is approximately 30 and this value may be one of the anthropometrical indications of whether or not a Sumo wrestler is destined to be successful.
对36名职业相扑选手和39名大学男生的身体成分进行了密度测定评估。相扑选手的体重、体重指数（BMI）和体脂百分比平均值分别为117.1千克、36.5和26.2%，与未经训练的男性相比非常高（p<0.001）。对相扑选手不同级别进行方差分析的结果显示，在体重、去脂体重、脂肪量、BMI、去脂体重指数（FFM/身高²）和脂肪量指数（FM/身高²）方面存在显著差异。为了直观呈现身体成分的分层差异，将不同联赛相扑选手的脂肪量指数和去脂体重指数绘制在身体成分图表上。与处于图表同一区域的低级别相扑选手相比，幕内级别的相扑选手去脂体重指数得分显著更高。将幕内级别相扑选手与其他选手区分开来的去脂体重指数临界点约为30，这个值可能是人相扑选手是否注定成功的人体测量指标之一。
