Sažetak
The aim of this investigation was to determine the basic anthropometric models of the elite female alpine skiers in relation to their classification on the most important international competitions. The sample for this research encompasses all female alpine skiers who classified in Olympic games 2006 in Turin, World championships in Äre 2007 as well as in the World Cup 2006/07 (47 SL, 35 GS, 47 DH, 56 SG, and 42 SC). In order to calculate the differences between the basic anthropometric models for each discipline, independent t-test was used. The obtained results showed up that in slalom and super combination the best classified are those skiers whose stature is near to 171 cm and with body mass near to 68 kg. In giant slalom better classified are slightly lighter and shorter skiers, while in speed events heavier and taller individuals are better classified. T-test analyses showed no statistically significant differences in any of the observed disciplines within the first 30 skiers classified. However, statistically significant difference in stature is notified between the skiers ranked 1-10 and 31-40 in slalom, downhill and combination, as well as for the body mass in slalom.
