Sažetak
The aim of this research was twofold. First, we tried
to investigate the possible differences in fitness level and
morphological characteristics between the group of
starters and the group of substitutes. Second, we tried to
develop a model of the top-level female volleyball player
according to the playing position. Thirty-nine female
volleyball players, members of senior and junior national
teams, were assessed using fourteen tests (ten tests were
used for the fitness level assessment and four tests were
used for the assessment of morphological characteristics).
Student's t-test for independent samples was employed to
inspect possible differences among groups. Significant
differences (p < 0,05) were detected for the following
variables: body height (TV), standing reach height in
block (BLDOHVAT) and standing reach height in spike
(SMDOHVAT), block reach (SKBLOK) and spike reach
(SKSMEÈ). We can conclude that starters achieved
notably higher results in variables describing the
longitudinal body dimensions as well as the explosive
strength (jumping performance). The results of one player
(setter) were chosen for the purpose of defining the model
values in the observed variables as this player was
proclaimed as being the best in his playing position at
important international competitions.
