摘要：The aim of the research was to analyze the postural status of young female volleyball players from Vojvodina and their peers, primary school students who did not play volleyball. The research was conducted on 429 female participants, aged between 11.5 and 16.5 in decimal years. The sample of female volleyball players included 189 players who had been training volleyball for at least 3 years, while the sample that included their female peers numbered 240 female primary school students. Their posture was determined using a clinical method. By means of the Mann-Whitney U test, the differences between certain age categories were tested in two samples of participants, while the method of cross tabulation was used to establish absolute and relative frequencies of the values for certain subsamples. The results of the research showed deviation from the normal status of the shoulders, shoulder blades and spine in the coronal plane in older female volleyball players at a greater percentage when compared to their peers. Distorted posture was found only in older female players, i.e. in those who were involved in the training process for a longer period of time
