Background and Study Aim: The aim of this research was to determine the differences between the young soccer players (U19) in terms of anthropometric characteristics and body composition. We considered players of three the most successful clubs in three countries of the southern region of the Balkan Peninsula. Material and Methods: The first sub-sample of the subjects was consisted of 17 players of OFC Titograd from Montenegro of the average age 17.12±.69. The second sub-sample was consisted of 14 players of FC Siroki Brijeg from Bosnia and Herzegovina of the average age of 18.14±.86. The last sub-sample of the examinees was consisted of 15 players of FC Feronikeli from Kosovo of the average age 18.07±.46. Anthropometric characteristics in the body composition were evaluated by a battery of 11 variables. The significance of the differences between the young soccer players in the anthropometric characteristics and variables for assessing body composition were determined by ANOVA and LSD Post Hoc test. Results: The young soccer players of the three mentioned clubs have statistically significant differences by the two variables that estimate the upper leg skinfold and fat percentage. The young soccer players of OFC Titograd are significantly better in variable upper leg skinfold than other players. The young soccer players of FC Feronikeli are significantly better in variable fat percentage than players of OFC Titograd. Conclusions: The results can be useful for coaches of other clubs for making a comparison of their soccer players with the young soccer players in this research.

黑山，波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那以及科索沃最好的足球俱乐部的青年足球运动员（U19）成员之间人体测量学特征的差异

背景和研究目的：这项研究的目的是确定年轻人足球运动员（U19）在人体测量特征和身体成分方面的差异。我们认为巴尔干半岛南部地区三个国家中三个最成功的俱乐部的球员。材料和方法：受试者的第一个子样本由来自黑山的平均年龄17.12±.69的17名OFC Titograd球员组成。第二个子样本由来自波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的FC Siroki Brijeg的14名球员组成，平均年龄为18.14±.86。考生的最后一个子样本由来自科索沃的15名FC Feronikeli球员组成，平均年龄为18.07±.46。人体成分的人体测量特征由11个变量组成的组进行评估。通过ANOVA和LSD Post Hoc检验确定了年轻足球运动员在人体测量学特征和评估身体组成变量方面的差异的重要性。结果：上述三个俱乐部的年轻足球运动员在估计大腿皮褶和脂肪百分比的两个变量上具有统计学上的显着差异。OFC Titograd的年轻足球运动员的大腿皮褶度明显优于其他球员。FC Feronikeli的年轻足球运动员的可变脂肪百分比明显优于OFC Titograd的足球运动员。结论：该结果对于其他俱乐部的教练在本研究中将其足球运动员与年轻足球运动员进行比较可能是有用的。
