Abstract In the examination was used body height and weight data characteristic for 100 best competitors in the 400-m hurdles race of women in years 2006 - 2008. Competitors were divided in 3 levels of the progress: I - results below 54 sec., II - results between 54.00 and 54.99 sec., III - results between 55.00-55.99 sec. On the base of the collected information three factors of the slenderness were described: Rohrer's, Quetelet I and Quetelet II. Competitors of the highest sport level were lower and slimmer than the II group, however in none of groups any of analyzed parameters differences weren't statistically important. In the group of 100 hurdlers with best world's results in analysed years, tendency of slight increasing the height and body weights were shown. Also the hurdlers were more slim every year. Any statistically important correlation between analyzed parameters and sport results weren't found. The average body height in the best group of hurdlers is about 170 - 173 cm and the body weight about 57 - 58 kg. Moreover they are characterized by a medium build - what is shown by the slenderness indicators: Rohrers (ca. 1,15), Quetelet I (ca. 337) and Quetelet II (ca. 20). These values, can be the essential information for coaches in the process of selection and at taking the specialization.
