Elite futsal players in addition to other characteristics, must have suitable anthropometric and body composition according to their playing position. The research aimed to determine body composition of Bosnia and Herzegovina U-19 national futsal team players and also determine differences in anthropometric and body composition of players according to their playing position. The sample of respondents consisted of Bosnia and Herzegovina U-19 National Futsal Team players (n=14, average age 18.07±0.48 yrs, body height 181.40±5.72 cm, and body weight 77.66±10.60 kg). Anthropometric characteristics and body composition were evaluated by a battery of 11 variables: body height (BH), body mass (BM), triceps skinfold (TS), biceps skinfold (BiS), back skinfold (BS), abdominal skinfold (AS), upper leg skinfold (UlS), lower leg skinfold (LlS), body mass index (BMI), fat percentage (FP), and muscle mass percentages (MP). Futsal players were divided according to their positions in the team into goalkeepers, defenders, wingers and pivots. Based on ANOVA and post-hoc tests, the findings showed that there were significant differences between groups in 8 out of 11 anthropometric parameters. So, in relation to this, the main findings of the study indicate that: i) goalkeepers and pivots have significantly higher body mass and percentage of fat compared to defenders and wingers; ii) goalkeepers have a higher BMI than all other players, while pivots have higher BMI values than defenders and wingers; iii) muscle mass favors goalkeepers and pivots over wingers; iv) goalkeepers had significantly higher values in triceps and biceps skinfold measurements compared to other players, as well as in lower leg skinfold compared to defenders and wingers, and in back skinfold compared to wingers. Although this study is significant, because it examines the morphology of elite futsal players and indicates certain differences in the anthropometric characteristics of futsal players according to the positions in the team. However, we must interpret these results cautiously due to the limited sample size of participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this research was to determine the differences among the top football players of the club in Bosnia and Herzegovina, CSC Zrinjski Mostar and the top football players of the club in Kosovo FC Trepca '89, the champions in their countries, in the morphological characteristics and body composition. A sample of 43 subjects was divided into two sub-samples. The first sub-sample of the subjects consisted of 28 players of CSC Zrinjski Mostar of the average age 24.36±4.14, the champions of the Bosnia and Herzegovina in the season 2016/17, while the other sub-sample consisted of 15 players of FC Trepca '89 of the average age 21.80±3.57, the champions of the Kosovo Championship in the season 2016/17. Football players were tested immediately after the end of the competition season 2016/17. Morphological characteristics in the body composition were evaluated by a battery of 10 variables: body height, body weight, waist circumference, triceps skinfold, biceps skinfold, skinfold of the back, abdominal skinfold, body mass index, fat percentage and muscle mass. The standard central and dispersion parameters of all variables were calculated. The significance of the differences between the players of the top two football clubs in the morphological characteristics and variables for assessing body composition was determined by a t-test for independent samples. It was found that the football players of the two mentioned clubs don't have statistically signifi cant differences by the variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this research is to evaluate and assess physical development and development of motor abilitieson a sample of school childrenaged from 11 (sixth-graders) to 15 (ninth-graders)in the Una Sana canton (Bosnia and Herzegovina) using the „health related construct" model for monitoring physical development and development of motor abilities, which linksphysical fitness and health of children andyoung people. This concept tries to connect the test results exclusively with good health condition of the child, which gives a completely new dimension to "physical fitness" tests among children. The concept of „physical fitness" is moving away from general ability to perform certain exercise or physical activity towards the so called „health-related fitness ", which connects „physical fitness" and emphasizes components such as cardiorespiratory endurance, body composition, muscular flexibility and strength, which are crucial factors in determining goodhealth status of an individual. In accordance with the current trends, the proposed model in this research of monitoring physical development and development of motor abilities of studentsfollows the so called „health-related physical fitness" model. Bearing in mind the changes in monitoring physical development and development of motor abilities of students in Physical Education classes throughout the world, and similarities in economic and social parameters in the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the authors of this paper have chosen to evaluate the model of monitoring physical development and development of motor abilities from the Republic of Serbia (as the model which follows the new „health related" concept in monitoring physical development and motor abilities development.

The aim of this research was to determine the diff erences among the top football players of the two clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, HSC Zrinjski Mostar and FC Siroki Brijeg in the morphological characteristics and body composition. A sample of 50 subjects was divided into two sub-samples. The fi rst sub-sample of the subjects consisted of 28 players of HSC Zrinjski Mostar of the average age 24.36±4.14, the champions of the Bosnia and Herzegovina in the season 2016/17, while the other sub-sample consisted of 22 players of FC Siroki Brijeg of the average age of 24.00±6.22, the champions of the Cup of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the season 2016/17. Football players were tested immediately after the end of the competition season 2016/17. Morphological characteristics in the body composition were evaluated by a battery of 11 variables: body height, body weight, body mass index, fat percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, waist size, triceps skinfold, biceps skinfold, back skinfold and abdominal skinfold. The standard central and dispersion parameters of all variables were calculated. The significance of the diff erences between the players of the top two football clubs in the morphological characteristics and variables for assessing body composition was determined by a t-test for independent samples. It was found that the football players of the two mentioned clubs have statistically signifi cant diff erences by the three variables that estimate the bone mass, waist circumference and triceps skinfold, in favor of FC Siroki Brijeg.
