Popis: This study analyzes the effects of anthropometric and motor characteristics on the swimming performance of male swimmers aged 12-15 years. The aim of the study was to measure participants’ shoulder width, grip strength, flexibility and aerobic endurance and to investigate the correlation of these data with swimming times over 400 meters freestyle. The study focuses on two age groups (12-13 and 14-15) and identifies the factors that influence performance in the different age groups. The anthropometric and motor characteristics of the participants were measured using a Tanita BC 418 bioelectrical impedance device and the data obtained were analyzed by a simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that shoulder width, hand grip strength, flexibility and aerobic endurance significantly affected performance in the 12-13 age group (p
