摘要：This research aimed to determine the differences among the female basketball players of the Women’s Basketball Club (WBC) Celje, which is the champion team of Slovenia, and WBC Buducnost Bemax, which is the champion team of Montenegro, in terms of their anthropometric characteristics and body composition. A sample of 26 subjects was divided into two sub-samples. The first sub-sample consisted of 12 players of WBC Celje (average age 21.75±2.70), while the other sub-sample consisted of 14 players of WBC Buducnost Bemax (average age of 20.71±3.15). All players were tested in Podgorica, Montenegro. Anthropometric characteristics and body composition were evaluated using a battery of eleven variables: body height (cm), body weight (kg), triceps skinfold, back skinfold, biceps skinfold, abdominal skinfold, thighs skinfold, calf skinfold, body mass index (BMI), percentage of fat and muscle mass (kg). Differences in anthropometric characteristic and composition of the body of the female basketball players of two clubs were determined by using a discriminatory parametric procedure with t-test for small independent samples (p<0.05). It was found that the basketball players of Celje are slightly higher and have more body mass than the players of Buducnost Bemax. Also, there are significant statistical differences by two variables that estimate the calf skinfold and thigh skinfold, in favour of the Celje, but WBC Buducnost Bemax had better fat percentage value. These results could be helpful to other clubs and coaches in Slovenia and Montenegro, in selecting and planning of the training process.
