摘要：Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the balance and body fat values of a team playing in the Turkish Handball Super League and to compare them with the international values and also to contribute the national norm to develop for the handball players.Methods: Male players from a team playing in the Turkish Handball Super League as experimental group (n=12) and university students as control group (n=12) participated in the study.The relationship among static balance,body fat percentage and some anthropometric parameters of subjects whose average age was = 29.3±4.1 years for experimental group and = 23.2±2.1 years for control group was investigated.The statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05.Results: The sport age,height and weight values of the handball players were significantly higher than the values of university students.The body fat percentage of handball players (13.3±3.1) was also higher than of the university students (12.2±2.1).As the balance values of handball players (8.2±3.1) were better than the values of control group (8.9±7.5) on the right foot,the values of control group (6.0±2.6) were better than of elite handball players (7.4±2.3) on the left foot.Conclusion: As a result,even if it could be found some differences between the elite handball players and the control group among the static balance values,body fat percentage and anthropometric parameters,these differences weren’t statistically significant.The physical and anthropometric features of elite handball players showed similarities with the other international players.
