Lung functions (VC, FVC. FEV1 and MVV) of male player were higher than the other branches, reported in some studies. On the other hand, max V02. anaerobic power, resting heart rate and flexibility scores of female players lower than the other reported studies. Also fat percentage of female players lower and handgrip and leg strength scores were higher than the other branches.The results of male players generally showed similatiries with other studies Especially anaerobic power ad lung functions of male players were higher than scores of other branches.
