Résumé

Anthropometric diagnoses predict the most appropriate on-court position for a certain player and are important in the long-term planning of basketball training programs. This study provides anthropometric characteristics and body composition profiles of Polish youth national team players (U-14, U-15, U-16 and U-18). The aim of this research was to determine the somatic characteristics of basketball players regarding particular on-court positions. The sample population consisted of 109 elite basketball players, who played in national teams in four age categories: U-14, U-16, U-18 U-20. An analysis of the obtained results revealed differences between the younger (U-14, U-15 and U-16) and older groups (U-18 and U-20) in terms of length, width and circumference measurements and body mass (3.6-9.3%), as well as subcutaneous fat measured by the skinfold thickness method (14.3-33.7%). ANCOVA with maturity offset as the covariate variable showed differences in body height (p < 0.05, R
