Secular Trends in Body Dimensions among Young Tennis Players from 1992 to 2008

Several studies have examined both physical characteristics and fitness of children and youth. The aim of the study was first, to find the tendency of changes in selected morphological characteristics of young male and female tennis players of various ages in the periods 1992-2000-2008; and second,...
