“…The t-test results showed that the soccer players of the two mentioned clubs have no statistically significant differences according to the variables. Very similar anthropometric characteristics of soccer players were obtained, which shows that soccer players have similar the characteristics and body composition throughout the region (Gardasevic, Bjelica, Popovic, Vasiljevic, & Milosevic, 2018;Corluka & Vasiljevic, 2018).…”

This research aimed to determine the differences among the top soccer players of a club in Montenegro, FC Buducnost, and the top soccer players of a club in Kosovo, FC Trepca '89, the champions in their countries, in the anthropometric characteristics and body composition. A sample of 45 subjects was divided into two sub-samples. The first sub-sample of the subjects consisted of 30 soccer players of FC Buducnost of the average age 22.73±4.33, the winners of the Montenegro Championship in the 2016/17 season, while the other sub-sample consisted of 15 soccer players of FC Trepca '89 of the average age 21.80±3.57, the winners of the Kosovo Championship in the 2016/17 season. Soccer players were tested immediately after the end of the 2016/17 competition season. Anthropometric characteristics were evaluated using a battery of seven variables: body height, body weight, waist circumference, triceps skinfold, biceps skinfold, skinfold of the back, abdominal skinfold. The body composition was evaluated using a battery of three variables: body mass index, fat percentage and muscle mass. The standard central and dispersion parameters of all variables were calculated. The significance of the differences between the players of the top two soccer clubs in the anthropometric characteristics and variables for assessing body composition was determined using a t-test for independent samples. It was found that the soccer players of the two mentioned clubs do not have statistically significant differences according to the variables.

The aim of this research was to determine the differences among the top football players of the club in Bosnia and Herzegovina, CSC Zrinjski Mostar and the top football players of the club in Kosovo FC Trepca ´89, the champions in their countries, in the morphological characteristics and body composition. A sample of 43 subjects was divided into two sub-samples. The first sub-sample of the subjects consisted of 28 players of CSC Zrinjski Mostar of the average age 24.36±4.14, the champions of the Bosnia and Herzegovina in the season 2016/17, while the other sub-sample consisted of 15 players of FC Trepca ´89 of the average age 21.80±3.57, the champions of the Kosovo Championship in the season 2016/17. Football players were tested immediately after the end of the competition season 2016/17. Morphological characteristics in the body composition were evaluated by a battery of 10 variables: body height, body weight, waist circumference, triceps skinfold, biceps skinfold, skinfold of the back, abdominal skinfold, body mass index, fat percentage and muscle mass. The standard central and dispersion parameters of all variables were calculated. The significance of the differences between the players of the top two football clubs in the morphological characteristics and variables for assessing body composition was determined by a t-test for independent samples. It was found that the football players of the two mentioned clubs don't have statistically significant differences by the variables.

“…Also, at the variables of triceps skinfold and skinfold of the back, football players of CSC Zrinjski Mostar have shown statistically better values because a smaller number means a better result when the disrupting factor of subcutaneous fat on playing football is taken into account. Very similar characteristics of football players were obtained in the region, which shows that football players have similar the anthropometric characteristics and body composition in the whole region (Gardasevic, Bjelica, Popovic, Vasiljevic, & Milosevic, 2018;Corluka & Vasiljevic, 2018;Bjelica, & Gar-dasevic, 2019;Bjelica, Gardasevic, Vasiljevic, Jeleskovic, & Covic, 2019).…”
