Comparative Study of Motor Ability between Basketball Players from Second Leagues in Montenegro and Serbia

Abstract

The aim of this research was to describe and compare the motor skills of basketball players of the Second league of Montenegro and Second league of Serbia. There were 48 participants divided into two sub-samples. The fi rst sub-sample was made up of 24 participants that were competing in the Serbian Second League and the second sub-sample was made up of 24 participants competing in the Second Montenegrin League. Standardized tests for the assessment of motor abilities were used to assess motor abilities. The central and dispersive statistical parameters of all variables were calculated. The diff erences were determined by a t-test for small independent samples. Results showed that there were no statistically signifi cant diff erences in any tested variables. So, the results indicate that Montenegrin basketball players have well developed motor skills and in this respect do not lag behind Serbian players.
