Sažetak
PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to determine and explain the growth and development of some anthropological characteristics of young water polo players using longitudinal data. METHODS: The sample of participants consisted of young water polo players, members of the national team (n = 18). They were measured and tested at three time points. At the first time point they were 12 years of age, at the second time point they were 13 years of age, and in the final measuring point they were 14 years of age. The sample of variables consisted of data on five morphological characteristics and three motor abilities. RESULTS: Using the analysis of variance for dependent samples (ANOVA) and multiple comparisons of mean ranks at the significance level of α=0.05, the hypothesis that there exists a statistically significant differences in six out of eight anthropological characteristics for young water polo players was confirmed. CONSLUSIONS: The statistically significant differences in four morphological characteristics and two motor abilities are probably the result of a systematic two-year training and natural process of growth and development of young water polo players. Determined modal values of young water polo national team members can help coaches of young water polo players in the planning, programming and control of training process.
