Purpose: to present comparative results of the study, to determine the existing changes in the individual indicators of sex somatotypes, and the inverse values obtained for athletes of different age groups involved in female sambo. Material and methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature; anthropometry, pelviometry, questioning; methods for determining morphological index values, the method of mathematical statistics. Results: the data on the identified individual somatic and morphological changes in the revealed sex somatotypes, in the process of medical and pedagogical observations in ontogenesis, among athletes of different age groups involved in female sambo are considered. Conclusions: According to the results of the study, it was determined that in the study group there are manifestations of inversions of sexual somatotypes, the number of which increases with the duration of training in this type of martial arts and an increase in physical and psycho-emotional stress in the training and competitive process. We believe that the revealed changes on the part of the anatomical and morphofunctional indicators, including and the values of the J. Tanner index of sexual dimorphism, determined among athletes of all three age groups and inversions in sexual somatotypes, are caused by individual adaptive changes in the athletes' bodies, directly related to the physical and psycho-emotional stresses experienced by them, when they engage in this sport. The obtained results indicate how there are problems in the state of health of this group of athletes, which require increased medical supervision over them. Identified somatic changes in inverse sex somatotypes require a review by the coaching team of individual loads when planning training-competitive algorithms in micro-, meso- and macrocycles.
