Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the magnitude of sex difference in body physique of 678 Sainis of Punjab (260 males and 418 females), aged 18-45 years. Anthropometric somatotyping was done following the method of Heath and Carter (Heath and Carter, 1967; Carter, 1980). Descriptive statistics and One way analysis of variance depicted significant higher endomorphy and lower ectomorphy among Saini females than Saini males, whereas non-significant differences were observed in mesomorphy. Further, the distribution of mean somatotypes
and somatotype categories showed that in general Saini males have endomorphic mesomorph body physique and females have endomorph mesomorph body physique.
