description INTRODUCTION: Data of anthropometric measurement are important for talent identification and developmental program. To date, the profile of anthropometric components among state level sepak tak.raw players have been scarce. Thus, this study was carried out to provide data on anthropometric components of sepak tak.raw players for age under 15 and 18 year old especially at the state (developmental) level. PURPOSE: This study was carried out to access the anthropometric profile and body type of state level sepak tak.raw players. METHOD: Fifty four males participants (n = 54) participated in this study, who originated from Penang (n = 30) and Kelantan (n = 24 ). All participants were currently playing at state level and age ranging from 13 to 18 years old. The participants were measured for their standing and sitting height, weight, skinfold measurement (i .e. 8 sites skinfold), girth (i.e. calf and arm flexed with tensed) and breadth (i.e. humerus and femur) . RESULT: The result represented the participants' anthropometric data of the standing height, body weight, sitting height, percentage of body fat and somatotype value. The tallest between all three positions in under 15 category was server 165.57 ± 9.05 em. Under 18 category, the tallest player was the killer 168.31 ± 5.94 em. The total mean of BMI for all three positions for under 15 category was 19.43 ± 2.70 kgm-2 and 21.40 ± 2.45 kgm-2 for under 18 category respectively. The highest measure for sitting height between all three positions in under 15 and under 18 category was the server (85.56 ± 4.83 em) and (87.64 ± 3.02 em). The highest mean percentage of body fat for under 15 category was the server (6.53 ± 3.15 %) while the lowest value was the killer (4.45 ± 1.54 %). Meanwhile, the highest mean percentage of body fat for under 18 category players was the server (6.52 ± 3.51 %). Then, the lowest value was the killer (5 .15 ± 3.14 %). Finally, for somatotype, the total mean of somatotype value for players under 15 category was 2.3-4.4-3.2 which is refer to as ectomorphic-mesomorph category. In addition, the total mean of somatotype value for players under 18 category was 2.2-5-2 .8 which is refer to as ectomorphicmesomorph category. CONCLUSION: The measurement of the anthropometric and somatotype value of state level sepak takraw players showed different body physique and body composition among all three positions. Since there were limited data in previous study, thus, results of this study will provide new information and contribute to the athletes ' performance and selection of athletes in sepak takraw.
