Sažetak
The objective of this research was to determine the variability of the sample of professional ballerinas in the space of characteristics of their body composition and some functional characteristics according to the requirements of their roles in ballet. The sample was comprised of 30 professional ballerinas (15 soloist and 15 members of the corps de ballet). The data showed that the soloists were characterized by a significantly larger knee diameter, lower thickness of skin folds on the trunk and the lower fat body mass percentage, as well as by greater grip strength. There were no differences in aerobic capacity between soloists and the members of the corps.
