Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to find out the differences of anthropometric characteristics and functional abilities of female football and basketball players. We carried out the research in Niš among 40 football and 40 basketball female players. The anthropometric measurements of 26 variables were taken according to International biological program (Weiner J., Lourie J., 1969) Measured functional variables were: heart rate in rest and during exercise test, systolic and diastolic blood pressure in rest and during exercise test and values of maximal oxygen uptake Functional parameters were measured by standard methods. The maximal oxygen uptake were determined indirectly by Astrand method. Our results showed that basketball women players have higher values of longitudinal, transversal and circular dimensions of body structure than football women players. According to our results, for basketball women team it is necessary to select taller females with longer extremities. Average values of oxygen uptake were statistical significantly better at female football players than in basketball players. The training process could decrease values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure which is more important in selection of girls for football then for basketball.
