The purpose of the study was in determine the sports-specificity-related body composition and its association to insulin sensitivity. Twenty-seven elite judos and ten elite decathlon participated in this study. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin response during OGTT was determined under an overnight fatted condition. Body composition wan also measured before the tests. We have found that Judas exhibited greater percent fat (18.5±1.6 vs 12.3±1.2%, P<.05) greater BMI (body mass index. 25.0±0.9 v.s. 20.9±0.6 kg/m^2, p<.05), and greater WHR (waist to hip ratio. 0.83±0.01 v.s. 0.74±0.01.P<.05). Beside judos have significant grouter in the 30 min point and glucose area under curve of OGTT than decathlon. The insulin response during OGTT wan significantly better in decathlons than in judos, as indicated by high obesity level. In conclusion, insulin sensitivity el the athletes appears to be related to sports specialty and body composition of the athletes.
