ABSTRACT
The association between morphological characteristics and motor performance has been, throughout time, the object of countless research studies. There is some correspondence between the level of participation in activities involving either body abilities or some morphological features like stature, arm span, the height of the centre of gravity, linearity, musculo-skeletal robustness and body composition (Slaughter et al., 1982; Carter, 1988; Malina and Bouchard, 1991). However, there are few studies about which morphological variables better characterize successful and unsuccessful performances in different motor tests.
