The goalkeepers showed profile endomorph‐mesomorph, the defender mesomorph‐ balanced, while the winger and pivot, endo‐mesomorph. Concluded that the goalkeepers were significant differences in BF% when compared to other positions and showed significant differences in somatotype compared to other positions, the same was observed in defenders when compared with pivots.
