| Abstract | Introduction Athletes, competing in diff erent sports, diff er in their physical and physiological characteristics (Stojanovic et al., 2016; Morteza Tayebi, Mahmoudi, Shirazi, & Sangi, 2017; Spaic, Vukasevic, & Masanovic, 2018). Elite sports require that the body performs at the optimal biomechanical and physiological capacity (Bajramovic, Talovic, Alic, & Jeleskovic, 2008; Arifi , Bjelica, & Masanovic, 2019; Saavedra et al., 2018). Accordingly, from junior athlete competing in the strongest leagues in his age group is expected to have the optimal morphology, strength, and endurance for the functional requirements of the sport in question (Mašanović, Vukotić, Popović, & Bjelica, 2018). Morphological characteristics are present in the equation of the specifi cation of almost every sport (Bjelica, Popovic, & Gardasevic, 2016a) so they are of great importance when it comes to orientation and selection in all sports. Since the primarily, due to the development of technique and tactics, coeffi cients of participation of some morphological dimensions in the equation of the specifi cation are constantly changing, for the eff ective talent’s identifi cation and the effi cient conduction of transformational procesess, the continuous involvement of sports science and practice is required (Popovic, Smaic, Joksimovic, & Masanovic, 2010; Bjelica & Fratric, 2011; Bjelica, 2013; Bjelica, Popovic, & Gardasevic, 2016a). According to previous studies, successful participation in both soccer and volleyball games, requires a high level of technical and tactical skills, and also requires suitable anthropometrical characteristics and body composition from each athlete (Hurst et al., 2017; Masanovic, Popovic, & Bjelica, 2018). Of course, the demands of these two sports are very diff erent Abstract |
