However, there are few or very limited studies that address the biotype of this discipline, especially in the elite paddle. The aim was to describe the anthropometric characteristics, body composition and somatotype of an international sample of high level paddle players. 29 subjects national top level (15 male and 14 female) participated in this study. 16 anthropometric variables were evaluated. Differences were found between sexes in the variables weight, height and BMI (p <0.001); in triceps, thigh and leg folds (p <0.001); in the arm, thigh (p <0.001) and leg (p <0.03) perimeters; and in all diameters analysed (p <0.001). Differences were also found between men and women in the endomorphic (p <0.01), mesomorphic (p <0.001) and ectomorphic (p <0.05) components of the somatotype. Male players present a mesomorphic-endomorphic somatotype while female players are preferably endo-mesomorphic. This research provides up-to-date reference data for somatotype in elite paddle players. 000079754 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000079754 590__ $$a1.417$$b2019 000079754 591__ $$aSPORT SCIENCES$$b69 / 85 = 0.812$$c2019$$dQ4$$eT3 000079754 592__ $$a0.401$$b2019 000079754 593__ $$aPhysical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation$$c2019$$dQ2 000079754 593__ $$aSports Science$$c2019$$dQ3 000079754 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000079754 700__ $$aGonzález-Jurado, J.A. 000079754 700__ $$0(orcid)0009-0002-1869-6854$$aGarcia-Giménez, A. 000079754 700__ $$aGallego Tobón, F. 000079754 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-1121-6408$$aCastellar Otín, C.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000079754 7102_ $$13001$$2187$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
