Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine the motor skills of Croatian women senior national team members who were preparing for the Olympic Games in London 2012. We will also compare the results with the playing positions of basketball players. Eleven (11) potential senior national team members participated in this study. A sample of variables was composed of tests to assess motor skills. Data processing was performed using the software package Statistical for Windows, ver. 12. For each variable, basic descriptive statistical parameters were calculated and presented. In almost all motor tests, defenders and wings show the best results, and the biggest differences between players in different playing positions are visiblein tests of speed, agility, and explosive power.
