Objective of the study was to assessment of the body proportions of Yakutia athletes depending on the type of martial arts.
Methods and structure of the study. A total of 49 male athletes aged from 18 to 29 years were examined. All those examined were of Yakut nationality. Of these, 36 athletes were engaged in freestyle wrestling and 13 in boxing. The anthropometric examination included measuring body length with an anthropometer and body weight with medical scales, and measuring the diameters of the shoulders and pelvis with a thick compass.
Results and conclusions. It was found that athletes involved in freestyle wrestling had significantly greater body weight and girth of the buttocks, chest, thigh, lower leg, shoulder, forearm and wrist compared to boxers. An index characteristic of the body proportions of the examined athletes according to the type of chest and pelvis is presented. In terms of the size of the pelvic-brachial index, the dominant types are the middle and trapezoidal body shapes; in terms of the pelvic width index - metriopielia and stenopielia in the examined groups of athletes. The results of the study emphasize the importance of taking into account the individual physical characteristics of an athlete and open up new prospects for the scientific community in the field of sports physiology and individualization of the training process.

Keywords: freestyle wrestling, boxing, athletes, Yakutia, proportions, anthropometry, index assessment.
