Somatotypological studies of elite Bulgarian handball players

M. Avramova

Abstract: The modern development of sports with its increasingly narrow specialization requires a deepening of knowledge about the structure of the human body. It is related to the need to improve research methods with the creation of model somatotypological characteristics. The purpose of the present study is to determine the somatotype by position of elite bulgarian handball players based on the registration of certain anthropometric indicators. Nineteen handball players divided into 5 groups according to the playing position were studied. From the studied somatotypological indicators, it is established that the average somatotype by game positions is endo-mesomorphic.
