| Summary: | The present study aimed to evaluate the anthropometric profile of male handball players in Category Junior Team of University Sports Club of Suceava and then make the difference in body measurement between U18 and U16. The sample of participants consisted of 29 male junior handball players, divided into two groups: 17 handball players U18 (age 16.76 ±0.43 years) and 12 handball players U16 (age 14.58±0.66 years). Nine anthropometric measures, defining the four latent morphological dimensions, were used. Significant differences were revealed in five morphological measures: body heigh (p =.03), muscle mass (p =.00), arm span (p =.03), leg length (p =.01) and hand span (p =.03). There were no significant differences in body weight (p =.33), body mass index (p =.90), fat mass (p =.43) and sitting height (p =.25). |
