The experiment deals with young people aged 13-14 years, male. Basketball team active and inactive, active group in addition to regular classes; they also practice basketball in clubs within the city. The experiment contains a total of eight morphological variables; five variables are the basic motor tests, while three tests of motor skills, situational. In this research, it applied test method T-group basketball between active and inactive, and morphological variables of specific movement skills. The study includes a total of 60 entities male group of 30 active students and other inactive group, who have undergone the tests provided for this study. Keywords: young basketball, basic motor skills tests and specific tool testing instruments, methods of T-test etc.

Research - experimentation, it includes a total of 60 entities of both sexes group of 30 boys and 30 girls, aged 14-15 years, who practice basketball. In this experiment were treated 7 morphological tests and 11 specific variables of basic motor is applied method of T-test and are gaining valuable results, presenting changes in all variables as a whole in favour of the group of boys. The results achieved reflect the best this study with young adults in question.

On the basis of the number of 62 entities aged 15-16 years, male gender, address space is composed of the locomotive and the space of ten tests. Factorial procedures are addressed in all basic and specific locomotives, together as results have gained 3 dimensions latency:-Factor of specific speed and accuracy;-Factor complex locomotive specific typical for game and basketball;-Factor of speed and explosive force to the upper extremity. Such a mix of factors, may be justified because the age in question is in phase puberty, nothing is as defining in the locomotive, as are developing.

This research has explored the factor of stucture for some morphologicalvariables and motor skillsof the junior basketball league. The experiment was done on a sample of 54 young basketballplayers aged 17 years.Latent factors were extracted which is used factorial analysis and havewon two latent factors whose morphological has been appointed: general factor for growth anddevelopment, as well as factor transversal body. While factoring basic motor skills have won four of situational factors which are labeled as: factor of explosive strength and speed optionlower limbs, factor flexibility and accuracy (precision) situational and factor precision shooting.Conclusions reached in this paper that the factorial structure defined space important factors inthe morphological characteristics and basic motor testsand the typical game of basketball tojunior players.

In this study, it was aimed to compare the anthropometric characteristics, somatotype profiles, some biomotorical performances and basketball-specific skill levels of basketball players who were at different age levels, in adolescence period and were training with the same training methodology. The participants were 41 basketball players who were in the age range of 12-14 years, regularly trained and played basketball in the local youth setup leagues. The participants' body height, body weight, vertical jump, 1-mile run, aerobic power, anaerobic power, skinfold thickness (triceps, subscapula, suprailiac, calf), circumference (biceps flexion, calf), diameter measurements (humerus bicondylar, femur bicondylar) were made. Basketball-specific skills were determined using the Harrison Basketball Skill Test while the somatotype characteristics were determined according to the Heath-Carter method. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were used to determine whether the data were suitable for normal distribution. One-Way ANOVA test was used to examine the differences between the variables and Tukey test was used to investigate the cause of differences. Normality tests and other statistical analyses were performed at the significance level of 0.05. A significant difference was noted in humerus bicondylar diameters according to the age levels of basketball players and a statistical difference was detected in the data of vertical jump and anaerobic power in terms of biomotorical performance (p <0,05). The cause of this difference was found to be due to the fact that the humerus diameter, vertical jump and anaerobic power values in the age group of 14 age years were higher than the values of the other two age groups. No difference was found when the Umut Canlı COMPARISON OF ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS, BIOMOTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND SKILL LEVELS OF 12-14 YEARS OLD BASKETBALL PLAYERS European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science-Volume 3 │ Issue 4 │ 2017 14 somatotype profiles and basketball-specific skill levels were compared according to age levels (p> 0,05). In conclusion, in our study group, we did not find any difference among other anthropometric characteristics, somatotype profiles, and basketball specific skills except humerus diameter. We suggest that the difference in the vertical jump and anaerobic power values of biomotorical performance is due to the increase in the strength ratio along with the increase in age level.
