摘要：The aim of this research has been to identify the relation between the motor coordination factor, latent volume dimension and body mass. The sample of participants consisted of 180 preadolescent female basketball players. The motor coordination ability has been estimated with the help of 3 motor tests (threading and leaping, agility in the air and the backward polygon), while the morphological characteristics were measured with the help of a battery of 6 anthropometric measures (body mass, forearm volume, outstretched arm volume, thigh volume, shin volume and abdomen volume). The obtained results were processed using the canonical correlation analysis. The results indicated the existence of only one statistically significant canonical pair factor, which explains 68% of variance, or a moderate correlation of two canonical components between the motor and morphological variables sets (Rc = .59), at the (p < .01) level of significance. The extracted canonical dimension in anthropometric space has been defined as the volume and body mass factor, and the canonical structure of coordination abilities has been interpreted as the canonical factor of body movement coordination. When analyzed partially, body mass (r= .95), forearm volume (r= .89) and threading and leaping (r= .48) variables have mostly contributed to the structure of this canonical dimension. The achieved variance percentage (Rc² = .68) assumes relevant prediction possibility relation between two linear variable combination systems of female basketball players, younger pioneers and mini-basketball players. The obtained information about the one-componential canonical model of the motor and morphological structure of female players has its practical application in selection improvement, as well as in training female basketball players’ operators modeling
