Abstract

This paper is the starting point of the comparison between the most meaningful anatomic parameters of two groups: sportsmen and nosportsmen. The anatomic parameters are selected as interdependent. The first step is to construct the membership function of each anatomic parameter viewed as a fuzzy subset. We emphasize with details how to choose some criteria optimizing the membership function. The second step is the approach of the group’s membership function. We specify the algorithm we need in this view. Then we present first results from the group’s membership functions and discuss the future prospects.
