Anthropometric and fitness profile of high-level basketball, handball and volleyball players

[摘要] One of the most recent and relevant research topics in the field of team sports training has been the establishment of a reference fitness profile for every single sport. Although it is commonly accepted that team sports training needs a multifaceted approach to understand all of the performance factors affecting competition, it is also well known that the enhancement of fitness levels is relevant to obtain a better result. Each one of these team disciplines seems to present a particular anthropometric and physiological profile due to specific functions and requirements for each position of the game. However, some common characteristics can be defined when comparing different sports. The correct definition of reference profiles in sport is not only important for proper coaching of elite populations; it is also essential to conduct proficient talent selection processes.
