The players were all male (18-25 years) triple jumpers participating in the Inter-university Athletic Competition. The height, weight, body lengths, diameters, circumferences and skinfold thicknesses were measured of the subjects. From these variables, the body composition and somatotyping components were calculated. The high performer triple jumpers were significantly taller (p__ampersandsignlt;0.01) in comparison to the low performer triple jumpers. The high performer triple jumpers also had significantly higher sitting height (p__ampersandsignlt;0.01), length measurements (p__ampersandsignlt;0.01), circumferences (p__ampersandsignlt;0.01) and diameters (p__ampersandsignlt;0.01) of body parts in comparison to the low performer triple jumpers. The lean body mass (p__ampersandsignlt;0.05) was also significantly increased in high performer triple jumpers than those of the low performer triple jumpers. The endomorphy component (p__ampersandsignlt;0.01) on the contrary was higher among the low performer triple jumpers when compared to high performer triple jumpers. Hence, in the present study, the high performer triple jumpers had better anthropometric characteristics and body composition components in comparison to the low performer triple jumpers.&#13;
