The purpose of this is to analyze the different of levels of sporting ability and to find out the morphological characteristics of male tennis players and to evaluate the possibility of employing anthropometric variables as estimates of training effects and indicators of morphological perrequisisites in male Tennis Players. In order to attain its object, height, weight, skinfold thickness, girth, % muscle mass, % bone mass, and % fat, of 30 male tennis players were measured and estimated. The One-way ANOVA was used for examining the mean values of variables on the test and the difference between groups. The result is as follows: The first, the variables such as height, skinfold thickness and width except body weight shows no meaningful statistical difference (p<.05) among the three different levels of groups. But male tennis players appeared to be taller and heavier than other groups and the humerus and femur was wider. the second, the variable of girths shows no meaningful significant difference (p<.05) among tennis players. But breadth, hip, ankle, thigh(l㎝) of tennis players appeared to be bigger than others. and the better tennis players were elite players, the more mesomorphy was appeared in elite tennis players. The third, the tennis players have the lowest % of body fat in the three different levels of groups.
