This study aimed to determine the somatotypes of a group of volleyball players divided according to their role and whether there is a statistically significant difference in 10 anthropometric measures according to the Heath-Carter method of somatotype determination. The research was conducted on 40 first league Croatian volleyball players: lifters (n = 10), middle blockers (n = 10), libero (n = 10) and outside hitters (n = 10). The determined somatotype of lifters 2.8 - 3.8 - 3.4 and middle blockers 2.3 - 3.8 - 3.6 is mesomorph-ectomorph, libero 2.4 - 4.6 - 3.0 and outside hitters 2.5 - 4.3 - 3.1 is ecto-mesomorph. A statistically significant difference between the groups detected in the measures of anthropometric characteristics: body height (ALVT), body weight (AVTT), flexed and contracted upper arm circumference (OPS_FLEKT_NADL), lower leg circumference (OPSEG_POTK) and lower leg skin fold (NAB_POTK). The results of the research are in line with related research. It confirms the importance of the longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton. This is why in the future, we can expect the growth of the ectomorphic, with a decrease in the mesomorphic component of the somatotype.
