Examination of the somatotype of adolescent handball players

M. Avramova

Abstract: The study of the various anthropometric indicators and their values provides detailed information about the dimensions of the attributes that are relevant to individual sports disciplines. However, the somatotipological method allows the characterization of the body structure as a whole and the relationships between the physical capacity tests. The main thesis of most authors is that without proper somatotype, it is difficult to achieve great sports results. This also determines the purpose of our study to follow the somatotype features of teenagers.
