Introduction: The objective of this study was to analyze the anthropometric characteristics of body composition and somatotype in senior rugby seven players. The sample was 21 players (age 24.2 ± 5.1 years, weight 81.0 ±14.7 kg, height 175.5 ±4.8 cm) belonging to a departmental team. Methods: 22 anthropometric measurements were taken (two basic, eight skinfolds, three diameters and seven perimeters); Anthropometric characteristics, body composition, and somatotype were determined. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed in SPSS, and the normality of the data was checked using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Significance level p>0.05. Results: Among the results found are muscle mass 41.2 ± 5.4 kg, bone mass 11.4 ± 1.4 kg and fat percentage using the Faulkner formulas 13.9 ± 2.2%, Carter 10.4 ± 2.1% and Yuhazs 15.1 ± 3.1%. Regarding the somatotype reported, it is endomesomorphic. Conclusion: there is no defined profile regarding the muscle or fat component, nor a consensus on how to quantify these components.
