The research was conducted with the aim to establish the structure and the differences of morphological features and personality traits between different age groups of female cadet handball players grouped by their playing quality and playing positions. Further on, the research was done on 70 handball players aged 15, 31 on average, who were grouped according to their positions on goalkeepers, outside players, wings and pivots. Furthermore, according to the quality of playing, they were divided in two quality groups of players, those from the wider cadet national team, thus characterised as top female players in Croatia, and those who had never been invited into the cadet national team and thus can be referred to as low-quality, i.e. average female handball players. The structure of predictor variables has indicated the existence of general morphological factor assessing the players' constitution and two personality features factors - neuroticism and extraversion. The variance analysis showed no statistically significant differences of somatotype variables with relation to quality and playing position. By observing basic personality traits, a statistically significant difference was confirmed only in introversion-extraversion with a lower score in goalkeepers than in other positions, which indicates a higher level of introversion in this playing position. Such result was expected since this particular position abounds in specific tasks and demands in the game in relation to all other playing positions. Further on, it has been concluded that the selection of players must not be based only on the stated physical and psychological characteristics, but on relevant anthropological complexes determining performance and sport achievement.
本研究旨在确定按比赛水平和比赛位置分组的不同年龄组女子青少年手球运动员的形态特征和个性特质的结构及差异。此外，该研究对70名平均年龄15岁的手球运动员进行，他们根据守门员、外线球员、边锋和中锋的位置进行分组。此外，根据比赛水平，她们被分为两个水平组，一组来自更广泛的青少年国家队，即克罗地亚顶尖女子球员，另一组从未被青少年国家队征召，因此可被视为低水平，即普通女子手球运动员。预测变量的结构表明存在一个评估球员体质的一般形态学因素和两个个性特征因素——神经质和外向性。方差分析表明，体型变量在比赛水平和比赛位置方面没有统计学上的显著差异。通过观察基本个性特质，仅在内向-外向性方面确认存在统计学上的显著差异，守门员的得分低于其他位置，这表明该比赛位置的内向水平较高。这样的结果是预期的，因为与所有其他比赛位置相比，这个特定位置在比赛中有大量特定任务和要求。此外，研究得出结论，球员的选拔不能仅基于上述身体和心理特征，而应基于决定表现和运动成绩的相关人类学综合因素。
