Because ready-made clothes manufactured in companies are produced accordingly tothe general person's body types. To solve this problem, it is necessary to classify athletes' upper body into several kindsof their upper body types and to provide fundamental data on the development of ready-to-wear clothing appropriate forthe upper body types. The subjects for anthropometric measurement were 189 male sports athletes of 20 to 29 year-old.The result of factor analysis indicated that 6 factors were extracted from anthropometric measurements through analysisand those factors comprise 73.807% of total variance. 3 clusters were categorized using 6 factor scores by cluster analysis.Type 1 was taller than other types, had average size in circumference, width and thickness and was bending somatotype.Type 2 exhibits a large circumference in the upper body and straight somatotype. Type 3 was characterized by short,exhibits a large circumference in waist,abdomen and hip and swayback somatotype.
