| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to describe morphological characteristics and body composition of the basketball
players from elite ranking of the competition Montenegro and Serbia as well as to make comparation between
them. Forty-eight males were enrolled in the study, divided into two groups: twenty-four senior players from
the First Basketball League of Montenegro and twenty-four senior players from the Serbian Superleague.
Morphological characteristics were evaluated by a battery of four variables: body height, body weight, arm
span and length of the leg. Body composition were evaluated by a battery of two variables: body mass index
and fat percentage of body. The standard central and dispersive parameters of all variables were calculated. The
signifi cance of the diff erences between the Second League basketball players from Montenegro and Serbia was
determined by a t-test for small independent samples . The results showed that a signifi cant diff erences was no
found for any variable among the group. Therefore, these fi ndings may give coaches knowledge that Montenegrin
players have a good morphological potential, in that segment are not lagging behind for the Serbian players,
whose players make excellent results at international competitions. |
