Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare somatometric variables in sprint and semi-distance events of crawl femal swimmers.  For this reason 28 swimmers were selected purposefully from hejab swimming team. They divided to two groups by their special events: Sprint event group(50m and 100m, n=13 , weight: 48.7±10.1 , age: 13.6±1.46 ) and endurance event group (200m and 400m , n=15 , weight: 47.9±8.73 , age: 13±1.82 ). Somatometric variables including :upper and lower limbs ,hand and foot lengths , hip and shoulder width , thorasic section area , standing and sitting height ,body weigh ,weigh to height rate, and hip width to shoulder width rate(HSR) were measured . Data analyzing by t test showed , There were no any significant differences in somstometric variables between of two groups.
