Ten indices of body proportion were compared among 43–103 champion and 200–268 regular truck drivers. Significant differences were found in the mean values for three indices — biacromial diameter/chest circumference, chest depth/ biacromial, and calf circumference/biacromial — but in only one disproportion percentage (percentage of the group beyond one standard deviation from the champions mean) — namely, chest depth/biacromial. Differences in mean values were attributable mainly to the champions larger biacromial breadth. Previous reports that superior performers within an occupational group had fewer disproportions than average performers were not confirmed
