The aims of this study were: a) to describe the anthropometric characteristics and technical skills in children aged 12 and 14 taking part in competitive basketball; b) to compare the mean scores between these two groups; and c) to detect the relationship between anthropometric characteristics and basketball skills.
At the sample of total of 118 young basketball players, 54 of 14 (± 0.5) year old and 64 of 12 (± 0.5) year old, 18 anthropometric variables were measured: five longitudinal measures, two transversal measures, body mass, four circumferences, six skinfolds and 3 derived variables: Body Mass Index (BMI), sitting height/stature ratio (SH/ST ratio) and sum of skinfolds (SUM SKF). Also, they did four basketball field tests: speed spot shooting, passing, control dribble and defensive movement.
Values of most of anthropometric variables were significantly higher in 14 year old players as compared to 12 year old, except in SH/ST ratio and BMI which were similar. Only values of SUM SKF were significantly lower in 14 year old players. In variables: control dribble, passing and defensive movement 14 year old players have better scores then 12 year old players.
The players presented a very high values of anthropometric dimensions, especially longitudinal and a very good technical skills. The correlation between certain field tests and some anthropometric parameters indicates that some anthropometric measures might have moderately negative influence on test results in technical skills in 14 year old players.
本研究的目的是：a）描述参加竞技篮球的12岁和14岁儿童的人体测量学特征和技术技能；b）比较这两组之间的平均得分；c）检测人体测量学特征与篮球技能之间的关系。
在总共118名年轻篮球运动员的样本中，14（±0.5）岁的有54名，12（±0.5）岁的有64名，测量了18项人体测量学变量：五项纵向测量、两项横向测量、体重、四项周长、六项皮褶厚度以及3个派生变量：体重指数（BMI）、坐高/身高比（SH/ST比）和皮褶厚度总和（SUM SKF）。此外，他们还进行了四项篮球场地测试：快速定点投篮、传球、控球运球和防守移动。
与12岁球员相比，14岁球员的大多数人体测量学变量值显著更高，但SH/ST比和BMI相似。只有14岁球员的SUM SKF值显著更低。在控球运球、传球和防守移动变量方面，14岁球员的得分高于12岁球员。
这些球员呈现出非常高的人体测量维度值，尤其是纵向维度，并且技术技能非常好。某些场地测试与一些人体测量参数之间的相关性表明，一些人体测量指标可能对14岁球员技术技能的测试结果有适度的负面影响。
