Abstract
The research was conducted on a sample of 53 subjects in total based on 28 basketball players and 25 athletes aged(17 ± 0.3) years, with the aim of determining the differences in motor skills and body composition between basketball players and athletes. The following variables were used to assess motor skills: (S10 m, VS, AG), while the following variables were used to assess body composition: (BMI, FAT, M).. The results obtained by statistical data processing show that basketball players achieve significantly better results in S10 m (p<0.05) and that they have a significant advantage when it comes to MM (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was also obtained in FAT (p<0.05) whereas the athletes had a lower (FAT %) compared to basketball players plus considering the other variables, a significant difference was not confirmed (t<1.510; p>0.152).
