The Differences in Body Volume and Skinfold Thickness Between Basketball Players and Footballers

The human body is composed of lean tissues that are metabolically active, and fat tissue that is not metabolically active, but is an essential part of human body. Training is a significant factor affecting body composition, performance, as well and physiological parameters. The aim of this study was...
