The sample of 60 male 17-year-old students (+/- 6 months) of different sports orientation (volleyball, basketball, and football) was tested in 11 anthropometric parameters. Variable sample included: body height, body mass, average chest circumference, upper arm circumference, lower arm circumference, upper leg circumference, lower leg circumference, skin fold of upper arm, skin fold of the back, skin fold of the stomach, and fat content %. In addition, the subjects were also tested for motor abilities, especially power factors (explosive, repetitive, and static). Anthropometric measurements were performed according to the method of International Biological Program, whereas the motor tests were in accordance with the instructions of Kurelić et al. and Metikoš et al. Results were statistically processed and presented in a table to be discussed subsequently in the text. Central and depression parameter variables were analyzed first to be followed by multivariant analysis of variance and profile analysis of differences between groups. .
