Comparison of Morphological Profiles and Performance Variables between Female Volleyball Players of the First and Second Division in Portugal.

Knowledge of players' anthropometric profiles may contribute to a better understanding of the differences between their performance levels. For example, vertical jump height, which is a major indicator of a volleyball player's performance, is influenced by favorable anthropometric variables. This study's aim was to describe anthropometric profiles of elite female volleyball players competing in the 1 and 2 divisions in Portugal and to link these profiles with performance skills such as jump height obtained during blocking and spiking actions.
