The study was done to evaluate the student of western maharshtra region by this method. This study was comparable with the more such Indian studies. The numbers established by such studies was beyond comparable range. The range of numerical also had to be adjusted with Indian studies. The regression formulae were also derived from this study so that endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy components can be established from minimum measurements. The above study was first of its kind in establishing numbers of somatotype in western Maharashtra students. This study can be further useful in improving various sports skills and athletism.
