One of the most important factors affecting performance is body composition. Therefore, the fat and lean body mass of athletes has been the focus of scientific studies. The main purpose of present study was to determine the body composition of elite male Turkish athletes, to assess the situation of athletes, to reveal the differences and similarities between the branches. Body composition of the sample consisting of fencing (n: 10), wrestling (n: 21) and weightlifters (n: 9) was examined according to the two-component model. According to Anthropometric Standardization Reference Manual (ASRM) and International Biological Program (IBP), height, weight, biceps, triceps, subscapular, supraspinale, suprailiac and calf skinfold thickness (ST) measurements were taken. Durnin-Womersley Formula was used to calculate the body density of athletes and Siri Formula was used to calculate body fat percentages. The body fat of percentages the fencers, wrestlers and weightlifters were 16,82%, 15,41% and 17,68%, respectively. The athletes’ Body Mass Index (BMI), calf ST and lean body mass values were significantly different (p<0,05). According to the results of the research, it was concluded that although the fat ratios differed between the branches, it was not statistically significant.
