description The purpose of this study was to describe morphological characteristics and body composition of the basketball players from First and Second League in Montenegro as well as to make comparation between them. Forty-eight males were enrolled in the study, divided into two groups: twenty-four senior players from the First Basketball League and twenty-four senior players from the Second Basketball League of Montenegro. Morphological characteristics were evaluated by a battery of four variables: body height, body weight, arm span and length of the leg. Body composition were evaluated by a battery of two variables: Body mass index and fat percentage of body. The standard central and dispersive parameters of all variables were calculated. The significance of the differences between the basketball players from First and Second League in Montenegro was determined by a t-test for small independent samples. The purpose of this study is to describe the anthropometric characteristics and the body composition of the basketball player, and to determine possible differences in relation to the ranking of the competition. The results showed that a significant differences was no found for any variable among the group. Therefore, these findings may give coaches knowledge that no significant difference between the level of competition.
