Somatotyping
Somatotyping is a method of description and assessment of the body on three shape and composition scales: endomorphy (relative fatness), mesomorphy (relative musculoskeletal robustness), and ectomorphy (relative linearity). This book (the first major account of the field for thirty years) presents a comprehensive history of somatotyping, beginning with W. J. Sheldon's introduction of the method in 1940. The controversies regarding the validity of Sheldon's method are described, as are the various attempts to modify the technique, particularly the Heath-Carter method, which has come into widespread use. The book reviews present knowledge of somatotypes around the world, how they change with growth, ageing and exercise, and the contributions of genetics and environment to the rating. Also reviewed are the relationships between somatotypes and sport, physical performance, health and behaviour. Students and research workers in human biology, physical and biological anthropology and physical education will all find valuable information in this book.

ANALYSIS OF BODY COMPOSITION AND EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT OF ATHLETICS AND COMBATIVE SPORTS MEN
The modern world is the outcome of many scientific inventions through centuries. Scientific instruments and machineries big and small have helped to lead our daily life with ease and comfort.To live an easygoing life the modern man is depending mostly upon the machine power for his daily routine, as a result there has been a fall and deterioration in his physical health capacity. Modern man need not work hard like his forefathers for his daily life. So he has become less vigorous and lethargic.If a Nation likes to excel the only short cut is to make the people fitness conscious and encourage them to regularly and vigorously participate in physical fitness programs in order to raise their fitness status. There is a need for broad based physical education and sports program, which can be very effectively done by involving the masses in physical fitness programs.
The Anthropology of Sport
Few activities bring together physicality, emotions, politics, money, and morality as dramatically as sport. In Brazil’s stadiums or China’s parks, on Cuba’s baseball diamonds or Fiji’s rugby fields, human beings test their physical limits, invest emotional energy, bet money, perform witchcraft, and ingest substances. Sport is a microcosm of what life is about. The Anthropology of Sport explores how sport both shapes and is shaped by the social, cultural, political, and historical contexts in which we live. Core themes discussed in this book include the body, modernity, nationalism, the state, citizenship, transnationalism, globalization, and gender and sexuality.
