“…On the contrary, the groups of athletes involved in water and combat sports, namely, canoe paddling and Graeco-Roman wrestling, revealed the highest average values of mesomorphy equalling 5.4 and 5.7, respectively. In our research, the level of mesomorphy expression (5.4) in combat sports athletes was relatively higher compared to the average mesomorphy value (5.0, 95% CI 4.6; 5.4) identified in combat sports athletes (wrestlers, boxers, taekwondists, and judokas) from other countries such as Korea [60], Ukraine [13], Turkey [9,[61][62][63], Mexico [64], Germany [65], Malaysia [66], Spain [67], Croatia [68], Columbia [69], Poland [70,71], Montenegro [72], Algerian [73], Brazil [74], India [75] and Uzbekistan [76]. This study, along with the previous study carried out in Lithuania by Gutnik et al [19], highlighted high values of mesomorphy (5.4 and 6.2) in canoe paddlers exceeding the average mesomorphy index (4.8, 95% CI 4.4; 5.1) found among canoe paddlers representing other countries, namely, Poland [77], India [78], Spain [79] and Britain [80].…”

“…Revan et al examined the performance parameters such as the vertical jump and standing long jump according to somatotype in taekwondo athletes. They reported that foreign male taekwondo athletes had a more mesomorphic-ectomorphic somatotype, while Turkish male taekwondo athletes had a somatotype of mesomorph-ectomorph [ 25 ]. Considering that these individuals are actively involved in sports, we believe that the main reason for the different results in our study is that the sample in our study was not actively involved in any sports branch.…”
