Abstract

Through this research, a distinction has been made between morphological, motor and explosive parameters, between students and sportspersons, i.e. volleyball players. The aim was to see the differences in these parameters and the importance of sport which affects the improvement of these parameters in young people. The research was conducted with young people aged 16-17, in total there were 120 participants, 60 students and 60 volleyball players, and the measurements were conducted in collaboration with volleyball teachers and coaches. The research results show that there are significant differences between students and volleyball players, in terms of morphological, motor, and explosive parameters and these differences show a clear favoring of volleyball players, compared to students. The differences are clearly presented and with this we conclude that the sportspersons, more precisely the volleyball players have positive and high parameters, compared to students. Correlations between morphological and motor and explosive parameters are also observed, which explain the influence of morphological factors on motor as well as explosive ones. Data were analyzed using SPSS program (version 25), while the Independent Sample t-test and Pearson correlation were used to confirm the hypothesis, while the parameters of mean values, skewness and kurtosis were used to present descriptive data. In the end we can conclude that in all cases, volleyball players have shown advantages in all morphological, motor and explosive parameters compared to students.
