Anthropometric Measurements and Analysis of Body Dimensions of Croatian Female Volleyball Players

Anthropometric measurements indicate morphological characteristics and give an insight into development peculiarities and health status of a specific population, but at the same time they serve as the starting point in ergonomic designing and functional adjustment of different industrial products of protective equipment and consumer goods. As the continuation of investigating anthropometric measurements in the Republic of Croatia 60 young female volleyball players between the ages of 14 and 17, 17 and 19 years and older than 19 years were measured. Measurements were taken with a set of anthropometric instruments. The paper describes the analysis and results of specific body differences in female volleyball players and untrained girls (BMI, bust girth, waist and hip circumference). The body proportions of untrained girls were obtained within the scope of the project "Croatian Anthropometric System". In this case a conclusion was reached that there are considerable deviations in body constitution, muscular system and bodily posture among age groups.
