Anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities in 13-15 years old female volleyball players 2014 796.325.012.1 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/2/3988 http://casopisi.junis.ni.ac.rs/index.php/FUPhysEdSport/article/view/367/399 G. Nešić N. Majstorović M. Sikimić S. Marković D. Ilić V. Grbić N. Osmankač Z. Savić The goal of this research was to determine whether there is a difference in the manifestation of measured anthropometric characteristics and tested motor abilities of female volleyball players that are 13-15 years old. The sample of participants consists of 62 female volleyball players divided into three groups according to their age. The sample of variables has two sub-samples: 18 variables belonging to anthropometric space and 14 variables belonging to the space of motor skills. A variance analysis has indicated significant intragroup differences in all the analyzed variables, except the variable for assessment of flexibility in the shoulder angle region. The results of a post hoc test - the Boniferroni procedure - have determined that the level of differences between the groups, in relation to the examined variables, ranges from those that have statistical significance of p<0,05, for variables of anthropometric space (Body weight, arm span, Body mass index, the Single arm reach test, Both arm reach test, Upper arm and forearm volume) and the same value for the motor skills space (Hip joint flexibility, Squat jump with arm swing, Counter-movement jump with, and without the arm swing), to those that reach p<0,00 for variables of the anthropometric space (Sitting height, Body mass, Chest Volume , Waist volume, Hips, Upper leg, and Lower leg volume) and for variables of the space of motor skills (the Long jump, Medicine ball throw, “Sit and reach” test, the 5,15 and 20 meter run, T-test, Squat jump without arm swing and Squat jump with arms in the block position). Because the applied instruments validate the assumption that these instruments can be used to isolate dimensions in experimental sample, and because these dimensions are significant for success in a motor activity such as volleyball, the results of this research will have broad application, and thus are of both theoretical and practical importance. article 12 3 327 339 1451 740X Facta Universitatis, Series: Physical Education and Sport
