Sažetak
The objective of this research was to determine the variability of the sample of professional
ballerinas in the space of characteristics of their body composition and some
functional characteristics according to the requirements of their roles in ballet. The sample
of examinees was comprised of 30 professional ballerinas, members of the Croatian
National Theatre Ballet (15 soloists and 15 members of the corps de ballet). The data
showed that the soloists were characterized by a significantly larger knee diameter, significantly
lower thickness of skin folds on the trunk and the lower fat body mass percentage,
as well as by greater grip strength. Aerobic capacity was only moderately more
developed than in fit people who participated in physical exercising because of recreational
reasons, and there were no differences between soloists and the members of the
corps.
