本研究的目的為：(一)探討女甲籃球運動員不同位置的體型特徵；(二)比較女子甲組籃球運動員的體型在不同位置間的差異性。採用60名現役女子甲組籃球運動員(平均年齡21.72±3.80)為研究對象，根據打球位置區分為五組，以希史-卡特體型分類法（The Health-Carter anthropometric method）進行體型評鑑。結果發現: 在身高體重方面，各位置間存在極顯著的差異(p<0.001)。在體型特徵方面，控球後衛平均為4.14-2.13-2.16，得分後衛平均為3.78-1.83-3.11，小前鋒平均為4.30-1.78-3.23，大前鋒平均為4.31-3.58-2.88，中鋒平均為4.80-3.10-3.00。全體平均體型為1.27-2.47-2.86，體型組成偏向內胚葉類型。受試球員體型的三個成分在各位置間雖然呈現一定程度上的差異性，但是此差異並無統計上的意義(p>0.05)。本研究為女子籃球運動員選材提供科學的依據，同時還能為人體生長發育過程中的體型變化以及運動對人體體型的影響等後續研究提供參照十數據，具有很大的實用價值。

The purpose of this study were to discover the characteristics of elite player’s somatotype regarding different playing positions and compare the differences n the somatotope of elite basketball player at different playing positions. Sixty elite women’s basketball players aged 21.72+3.80 years old, were divided into five teams according to its playing positions. The Health –Carter Anthropometric method was used as a measure for the somatotype judgement. The results indicated as follows, all positions have significant differences (p<0.01). From the somatotype’s view, point guard averages 4.14-2.13-2.16, shooting guard averages 3.78-1.83-3.11, small forward averages 4.30-178.32.23, power forward averages 4.31-3.58-2.88, center forward averages 4.80-3.10-3.00. The total average for somatotype is 4.27-2.47-2.86, which formed an endomorph. The players experimented showed a certain degree of difference in their 3 components of somatotype between different positions, but there is no significant statistical value (p<0.05). This study gives the scientific evidence for the selection of the elite team. At the same time, provides more data for related study that concerns human growth process and somatotypes connection with sports. It has a tremenedous practical value.
