为了确定成年男子手球运动员的共同形态特征并分析其特殊性，即四个比赛位置（后场球员、边锋、中枢、守门员）之间的可能差异，对来自三支顶级手球队的 49 名球员进行了 25 项人体测量。计算基本描述参数，然后进行方差分析和聚类分析。获得了具有显着的纵向骨骼尺寸、骨骼系统和肌肉质量之间的平衡比例以及皮下脂肪组织值较低的中等形态的运动体型。后场球员和守门员在骨骼尺寸和周长方面表现出色。边线球员，即侧翼球员和中枢球员，其纵向尺寸稍低，而明显的体积和稍高的脂肪组织值将中枢球员与其他位置的球员区分开来。聚类分析显示，边线球员（边锋和中枢）样本的形态特征比后卫或守门员的特征具有更大的同质性。所获得的球员形态特征中与位置相关的差异表明，样本中经验丰富的球员较早成功地经历了选择过程，并定位于特定的比赛位置，因为观察到他们的体型与所讨论位置的特定运动学要求之间的对应关系。因此，在高质量的团队手球比赛中，建议选择形态特征尽可能符合比赛要求的位置特点的球员。
With the aim of determining the common morphological features of senior male handball players and of analyzing their specificities i.e. the probable variation between the four playing positions (back court players, wings, pivots, goalkeepers), 25 anthropometric measures were applied to the sample of 49 players, members of three top-quality handball teams. The basic descriptive parameters were calculated and then an analysis of variance and a cluster analysis were performed. A mesomorphic, athletic body- type was obtained with a marked longitudinal skeleton dimensionality, but also with a balanced ratio between the skeletal system and muscle mass and with low values of subcutaneous fat tissue. Back court players and goalkeepers are superior in terms of outstanding skeletal dimensions and circumferences. Line players, i.e. wings and pivots, have somewhat lower longitudinal measures, whereas pronounced voluminosity and a slightly higher fat tissue value differentiate pivots from players in other positions. Cluster analysis revealed a greater homogeneity in the morphological profiles of the samples of line players (wings and pivots) than in the profiles of backs or goalkeepers. The obtained position-related differences in morphological characteristics of players suggest that the experienced players from the sample were earlier successfully subjected to the selection process and oriented to a particular playing position because of the observed correspondence between their body-type and specific kinesiological demands of the position in question. Therefore, in top-quality team-handball it would be recommendable to select players whose morphological profiles are as compatible as possible with positional specificities in the demand for the game.
