The aim of this observational study was to determine the somatotype of average basketball players (BP) and to compare them with the values found in relevant literature. Thirty-eight Italian members of "B" and "C" BP league teams were measured according to the Health/Carter anthropometric somatotype method. Since our group was, on average, made up of mesomorphic-ectomorphs (2.2-3.2-3.8), it appeared to be quite well suited to the sporting activity undertaken. However, the comparison carried out for the anthropometric variables and the somatotype scores found for higher level athletes, show that their physique lacks some of the characteristics needed to excel.
这项观察性研究的目的是确定普通篮球运动员的体型，并将其与相关文献中的数据进行比较。根据Health/Carter人体测量体型法，对38名意大利“B”级和“C”级篮球联赛球队的队员进行了测量。由于我们的研究对象平均由中胚层-外胚层体型者（2.2-3.2-3.8）组成，似乎非常适合所从事的体育活动。然而，对人体测量变量以及为高水平运动员所测得的体型得分进行的比较表明，他们的体格缺乏一些出类拔萃所需的特征。
