Background an‎d purpose: Anthropometric, body composition an‎d body shape data are important factors in the physical performance an‎d preparation of professional athletes. The aim of this research was to Study of anthropometric, body composition an‎d somatotype differences of elite Grappling an‎d Jujitsu athletes. Materials an‎d methods: In a cross-sectional study, 36 elite athletes of grappling (16 people) an‎d jujisto (20 people) were selec‎ted as a statistical sample. Based on previous literature, twelve measurements of body measurements needed to calculate body composition indices an‎d body type components were determined an‎d measured. The resulting data were analyzed using descriptive an‎d inferential statistics such as independent t-test at a level less than 0.05. Findings: No significant difference was observed between the average physical characteristics an‎d body composition of grappling an‎d jujitsu athletes (p≥0.05). Among the athletes of these two disciplines, although the grappling athletes had lower fat percentage an‎d fat mass an‎d more net mass, this difference was not significant (p≥0.05). In addition, the results of independent t-test analysis showed that the two groups of athletes were almost similar in terms of body composition an‎d body type characteristics. Discussion: No significant differences were found in most of the body measurement features, body composition measurements, an‎d body type components among the athletes of the two fields of grappling an‎d jujisto in the present study. Undoubtedly, more data are needed to define the body measurement profile of martial arts athletes, comparison between sports, athletes from different countries an‎d competition levels.
