Differences in Anthropometric Characteristics, Somatotype Components, and Functional Abilities Among Young Elite Kosovo Soccer Players Based on Team Position

Differences in Anthropometric Characteristics among Junior Soccer and Volleyball Players

“…Of great interest for some authors are morphological characteristics of topclass soccer and volleyball players (Marques, & Marinho, 2009;Gjonbalaj, Georgiev, & Bjelica, 2018;Krespi, Sporis, & Popovic, 2019), because the particular morphology profi le of an athlete, combined with motor and functional abilities, should express its full potential (Gusic et al 2017). Th e results of this study may serve as model parameters for estimating the same variables for other players of the same sport and competition rank, or for comparison with the results of similar research.…”

Sport-Specific Morphology Profile: Differences in Anthropometric Characteristics between Elite Soccer and Basketball Players

“…Morphological characteristics of topclass soccer and basketball players appear to be of great interest for some authors (Saether, 2017;Madic et al 2018;Gjonbalaj et al, 2018;Pojskic et al, 2014;Gajardo-Burgos et al, 2018) with the interest of fi nding the best morphology somatotype for particular sports, competition levels and player positions as well. Comparison of anthropometrics should support coaches with better understanding of specifi c demands of certain sport, where particular morphology profi le of athlete, combined with motor and functional abilities, should express its full potential (Gusic et al, 2017).…”

Analysis of Body Composition and Specific Motor Movements of Junior Football Players

“…Ispitanici su prije testiranja upoznati sa temeljnim odredbama Helsinške deklaracije, te su dobrovoljno pristali na testiranje, uz mogućnost odustajanja u bilo kojem trenutku. Golmani su izostavljeni iz uzorka ispitanika s obzirom da, po svojoj morfologiji i specifi čnosti zadaća u igri, odstupaju od igrača u polju (S. Gil, J Gil, Ruiz, A. Irazusta, & J. Irazusta, 2007;Gjonbalaj, Georgiev, & Bjelica, 2018).…”
