Positional and age-related differences in motric tests among croatian national football team members

The objective of this paper was to establish positional and age-related differences in motoric tests among Croatian national football team members (U-15, U-17 and U-19). The central and descriptive parameters of variables for assessment of the sprint-type explosive force, agility and movement frequency speed based on age, represent the modal values of Croatian football players. This paper establishes the differences among strikers, central defenders, wingers and midfielders among the U-15 national team members (Wilks' lambda=0.23, Raos' R=2.77 p<0.00). Positional differences among the U-17 and U-19 national team members were not established, however, some age-related differences were (Wilks' lambda=0.47, Chi-Sqr=60.17, p<0.00).
