MORFOLOGIA DE ATLETAS JUVENIS DE HANDEBOL.

The article presents a study on the morphology with the game performance of young handball players competing in the Santa Catarina Open Youth Games 2004 in Brazil. It compares anthropometric and body composition variables from the best male handball athletes in the youth competition. The variables analyzed in the study include body weight (MC), height (ES), and arm span (ENV). Accordingly, body morphology appears to be an important criterion for the performance of the athletes.
