The present study was designed to compare physical fitness somatotype properties of male tennis players in first and second league division of Turkey.

Subject groups in this study were consisted of total of 46 voluntary tennis players of which 21 were first and 25 were second league division tennis players. Their ages, body weight and length are given as follows 18.3±3,.02 y, 73.2±7.16 kg, 183.4±5.4 cm (in first league division) and 18.5±2.87 y, 67.0±10 kg, 176.0±0.9 cm in second league division, respectively.

Somatotype Physical fitness, body composition and some performance properties of subjects (flexibility, vertical jumping health-ball throwing, strength of hand-back-leg and speed for 20 m) were determined by using laboratory and field tests.

Data were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test for independent samples.

Results showed that body composition parameters of first league division tennis players were different than the second league division tennis players, but both groups results were concordant with literature. The strength parameters were different in inter-groups; also they were lower than literature.

It has been thought that reason of low strength values is insufficient training duration and lack of strength training.
