Body composition assessment is important for various fields of science and practice, including anthropology, medicine, sports nutritionology and pedagogy. The classical Heath-Carter method is complex and multi-step, while bioelectrical impedance analysis allows for a simpler and faster assessment of this parameter, at the same time, the results of body composition measurements by the classical anthropometric method in comparison with the hardware bioimpedance method are often different. The aim of this study is a comparative analysis of anthropometric method and bioelectrical impedance analysis in the assessment of somatotype. The participants of the study were 1st year students of the Russian University of Sport “SCOLIPE” and medical faculties of Osh State University. As a result of selection, 25 girls and 20 boys were included in the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed according to the guidelines of The International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). Bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed using a ‘Medas’ bioimpedance meter ABC-01 (Medas Ltd, Moscow, Russia) with disposable FIAB 22×34 mm film electrodes (Italy). Statistical data processing was performed using STATISTICA 10 package (StatSoft, USA). Differences and low agreement were found between these methods in determining somatotype. Both methods assess body types in approximately the same way. Bioimpedanceometry indicates higher levels of mesomorphy, while the anthropometric method reveals lower endomorphy scores
