Androgyny of physique in female track and field athletes. 1976

R M Malina, and A N Zavaleta

Androgyny scores (3 x biacromial breadth - bicristal breadth) were calculated for 66 female track and field five event categories and 76 female non-athletes. Runners (distance and sprinters) did not differ significantly from the non-athletes in androgyny. However, jumpers, discus/javelin throwers, and shotputters were significantly more androgynous in physique. Androgyny scores for participants in jumping and throwing events overlapped considerably those for college-age males.
