The purpose of this research was to describe the motor abilities of basketball players from the elite ranking of competition in Montenegro and Serbia, and to make a comparison between them. The sample included 48 participants divided into two sub-samples. The first sub-sample comprised 24 participants who were competing in the First Basketball League of Montenegro and the second sub-sample comprised 24 participants competing in the Serbian Super League. Standardized tests were used to assess motor abilities. For each variable, the central and dispersion parameters were calculated. The differences were determined using a t-test for small independent samples. The results showed that a significant difference was found for distance ball throwing, while no significant difference was present for the remaining variables. Therefore, the results indicate that Montenegrin basketball players have well-developed motor abilities and, in this characteristic, do not lag behind Serbian players.
The purpose of this study was to describe morphological characteristics and body composition of the Second League basketball players from Montenegro and Serbia as well as to make comparation between them. Fortyeight males were enrolled in the study, divided into two groups: twenty-four senior players from the Second Basketball League of Montenegro and twenty-four senior players from the Second Basketball League of Serbia. 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 one variables: 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.
The purpose of this study was to describe morphological characteristics and body composition of the basketball players from First and Second League in Montenegro 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 and twenty-four senior players from the Second Basketball League of Montenegro. 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 basketball players from First and Second League in Montenegro was determined by a t-test for small independent samples. The purpose of this study is to describe the anthropometric characteristics and the body composition of the basketball player, and to determine possible diff erences in relation to the ranking of the competition. 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 no signifi cant diff erence between the level of competition.

U početnoj fazi pojavljivanja bila je namijenjena i dostupna širokom spektru zainteresovanih, što je dovelo do nevjerovatno brze ekspanzije i popularnosti širom svijeta.Postoji veliki spektar motiva za uključivanje pojedinca u aktivno ili rekreativno bavljenje košarkom, kao sportskom aktivnošću, koje je uslovljeno brojnim željama i potrebama samog korisnika. Na osnovu socijalnih, individualnih i društve-nih potreba, željenih nivoa sportske aktivnosti, vrijednosne ljestvice i vidova angažovanja u sportu, možemo razlikovati nekoliko osnovnih vrsta konzumacije sporta: razvojni sport, rekreativni sport, standardni sport, vrhunski sport ( Havelka & Lazarević, 1981). Razvojni sport je koncipiran tako da se realizuje u praksi fi zičkog vaspitanja, gdje su učesnici djeca i omladina, sa osnovnim ciljem ostvarivanja zadataka fi zičkog vježbanja (Bjelica, i Krivokapic, 2011;Bjelica 2002;Bjelica, 2005). Rekreativni sport u najvećoj mjeri okuplja pojedince usmjerene ka održavanju psihofi zičkih sposobnosti na optimalnom nivou, a karakteriše ga slobodan izbor fi zičke aktivnosti, praćen pravilnom pedagoškom i medicinskom kontro-
The purpose of this study was to describe anthropometric characteristics of junior handball and volleyball players from the Serbian National League as well as to make a comparison between them. 61 male athletes were enrolled in this study, divided into three groups: 15 handball players, 14 volleyball players and 32 healthy sedentary subjects. The variables sample included 20 anthropometric measures that defined longitudinal and transversal dimensionality of skeleton, volume and mass of the body, and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The descriptive statistics were expressed as a mean (SD) for each variable, while the ANOVA and the LSD Post Hoc tests were carried out to detect differences between group. The results showed that a significant difference was found in variables body height, body weight, elbow diameter, thigh skinfold, calf skinfold, but no significant difference was found in the remaining 15 variables. Therefore, these findings may give coaches from the region better working knowledge and suggest to them to follow recent selection process methods and to be more careful during the process of talent identification.
