ABSTRACT

SUMMARY:

The purpose of this study was to describe the anthropometric characteristics and body composition of elite handball and volleyball players from the Serbian national league as well as to make comparisons between them. Sixty males were enrolled, divided into three groups 15 handball players, 14 volleyball players, and 31 healthy sedentary subjects. All subjects were assessed for the anthropometric measures required for the calculation of body composition variables, using the standardized procedures recommended by established literature. Data were analysed using SPSS, and the descriptive statistics were expressed as a mean (SD) for each variable, while the ANOVA and LSD Post Hoc tests were carried out to detect the effects of each type of sport. The results showed there was no significant difference for body weight and body mass index, nor were there any differences for the bone contents of bodies among the groups, while significant differences were found for body height, as well as for muscle and fat content of body among the groups. These findings may give coaches from the region better working knowledge and enable them to follow recent selection process methods and to be more careful during talent identification.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las características antropométricas y la composición corporal de los jugadores de balonmano y voleibol de élite de la liga nacional serbia, y realizar comparaciones entre ellos. Se evaluaron sesenta hombres divididos en tres grupos 15 jugadores de balonmano, 14 jugadores de voleibol y 31 sujetos sedentarios sanos. Se evaluaron las medidas antropométricas de todos los sujetos requeridas para el cálculo de las variables de composición corporal, utilizando los procedimientos estandarizados recomendados por la literatura establecida. Los datos se analizaron mediante SPSS y las estadísticas descriptivas se expresaron como media (DE) para cada variable, mientras que se realizaron las pruebas ANOVA y LSD Post Hoc para determinar los efectos de cada tipo de deporte. Los resultados mostraron que no hubo diferencias significativas para el peso corporal y el índice de masa corporal, ni hubo diferencias para el contenido óseo de los cuerpos entre los grupos, mientras que se encontraron diferencias significativas de altura corporal, así como para el contenido de músculo y grasa corporal. Estos hallazgos pueden proveer un mejor conocimiento de trabajo a los entrenadores de la región y permitirles seguir los métodos recientes del proceso de selección y estar más atentos durante la identificación de talentos.
