Sažetak
The aim of this study was to identify and explain the morphological conditionality of specific soccer motor variables among first league soccer players. According to the aim of research, a sample of 70 Croatian first league female soccer players was measured in 18 morphological tests, and 7 suitably selected soccer specific motor tests. Canonical correlation analysis was applied. Contrary to expectations, the results indicate that the morphological status can’t be treated as reliable predictor (p=0.11) of the actual players quality manifested trough precisely selected soccer specific motor variables. Consequently, selection of female soccer players can’t be done only trough morphological status of female soccer players but exclusively trough analysis of functional status and soccer specific variables. Due to the selected representative sample, it is assumed that the results can be generalized to the population of elite female soccer players.
