Morphological differences of Kosovo basketball players according to team positions

The paper has the purpose to analysis the differences in the positions of basketball in morphological characteristics. In our tracking is important morphological variables defined on the basis of position players in basketball. The study sample consists of 60 players (Age: 15.12 years; body height: 168.30±8.81cm; body mass: 67.33±13.8 kg; Body mass index: 19.9±0.78). They are divided into five groups according to their position in the field of play: organizers of the game (16), shooting guard (13), small forward (14), power forward (9) and centers (7). External position players did not show high values ??in longitudinal dimensions, while players under the basket (power forward and centers) have shown meaningful values in all morphological space. Variable length ankle plantar meaningful value is worth 0.001, while variables body weight, body height, length of hand, length ankle and the length of the palm 0.000 probability level, however, the width parameter of smacking palm has demonstrated a statistically significant value of 0.016. Such results show that the longitudinal variables show the importance of positional play basketball league cadets.
