We study the influence of structural obstacles in a disordered environment on the size and shape characteristics of long flexible polymer macromolecules. We use the model of self-avoiding random walks on diluted regular lattices at the percolation threshold in space dimensions d=2, 3. Applying the Pruned-Enriched Rosenbluth Method (PERM), we numerically estimate rotationally invariant universal quantities such as the averaged asphericity A_d and prolateness S of polymer chain configurations. Our results quantitatively reveal the extent of anisotropy of macromolecules due to the presence of structural defects.
