LATENT STRUCTURE OF ANTHROPOMETRIC DIMENSIONS IN ELITE CROATIAN VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

Using the sample of 74 premier league volleyball players, all senior ages and adequate health status, we intended to determine the structure of the latent dimensions underlying the measured anthropometric characteristics. The sample of variables consisted of 27 anthropometric measures all taken following the guidance of the IBP (Mišigoj et al., 1995). The results confirm the hypothesis of the existence of four morphological latent dimensions further confirmed by a significant number of previous studies that were conducted on samples of volleyball players (Momirović et al. 1966 ; Strahonja and Matković, 1983) and other samples (Momirović et al. 1969 ; Hošek and Jeričević, 1982 ; Medved, 1987 and Marković, 2004)
