摘要：The aims of this study were: a) to identify the anthropometric characteristics and agility abilities of 14 year-old elite male basketball players, and b) to investigate the influence of anthropometric characteristics on agility test results. The following 11 anthropometric variables were measured on a sample of 50 young basketball players, age 14,: four longitudinal measures, two transversal measures, body mass, four circumferences, six skinfolds and, also, 2 derived variables: the body mass index – BMI, and sum of skinfolds – SUM SKF (predictor variables). In addition, the participants carried out 3 agility tests: the agility T-test, zigzag agility drill and 4x15 m agility run (dependent variables). For the assessment of the influence of predictor variables on the dependent variables, a regressive analysis, the Stepwise method, was applied. The results of three regression analyses indicate a moderate, but significant influence of anthropometric variables on agility test results. Longitudinal and transversal measures, body mass, and circumferences had no influence on agility tests results. Only SUM SKF had a significant influence. This variable was extracted during the first step in all three regression analyses, and the circumference of the mid-upper-arm was extracted during the second step in the case of the dependent variable zigzag agility drill.
