Body type and body composition have a significant impact on athletic performance. In turn, physical exercises of various volume and intensity affect the component composition of bodies. The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of body composition and somatotype in highly qualified triathletes and biathletes. To achieve the goal, 82 highly qualified athletes of the level of candidate and master of sports were examined. 14 men and 24 women aged 17–20, specializing in triathlon, as well as 44 athletes specializing in biathlon, of which 24 men and 20 women, of the same age. During the examination, anthropometric indicators were measured: body weight and length, waist and hip circumference, body mass index (BMI). The body composition was determined by bioimpedancemetry, using the body composition analyzer ABC-01 NTC “Medass” with software ABC01_0362. Somatotyping was performed according to the Heath – Carter scheme. Data processing was performed using MS Excel 2021 and Statistica 12. As a result of the study, it was found that biathletes in their sport show body composition in proportion to the normal percentage of body fat and mesomorph body type traits associated with a high indicator of muscle mass. Representatives of the triathlon have a more developed musculoskeletal system (ectomorphy) in proportion to the normal development of fat and muscle mass.
