한국인의 Somatotype에 관한 연구

Abstract

The author has measured and observed the 51 Gyeong-Nam Korean females by the Sheldon's somato typing method, determined the parameters and the following conclusions have been drawn. 1. There are 9 types of the descriptive classification and 15 somatotypes. 2. In the descriptive classification about 47% of the specimens belong to endomorphic, about 33% to the balanced, about 10% to the mesomorphic and ectomorphic groups respectively. 3. In the somatotype about 26% of the specimens belong to the type 443, about 1896 to the types 543 and 542 respectively, and the remaining types are scattered in small cases. The somatotypes in the teens of age are inclined to the mesomorphic and in the twenties to the endomorphic types. 4. The average somatotype is 443 in general, and the type 443 of the teens of age changes to the type 543 in the twenties.
