The structure of the body, the specific somatotype of an athlete can play a decisive role in achieving the best results in judo. Morphological parameters influence technical and tactical actions in wrestling and are indicators of physical development. Since judoists are divided into age and weight categories, constant monitoring of the athlete's somatotypical profile is necessary in order to have optimal results. The aim of the study was to study the morphological profile of the somatotype in judokas of youthful age. Two leading somatotypes were identified: ecto-mesomorphic (1.55-4.42-2.56 a.u.) and meso-ectomorphic (2.0-3.61-3.58 a.u.) with varying degrees of severity of somatotypic profile. Differences in anthropometric indicators were revealed among judokas of different somatotypes. This group of athletes has a good morphological prospect for the development of the mesomorphic component of the somatotype as one of the factors determining the growth of sportsmanship and represents the closest reserve of the national judo team.
