Full Description
Based on comprehensive field research with 300 young Albanian males from Kosovo, this book investigates the intricate relationships between morphological, physiological, and biochemical variables in athletes and non-athletes. Using rigorous empirical methods and advanced statistical analyses, it explores how structured physical training influences the body's structural and functional domains, both in manifest and latent spaces. The findings reveal distinctive biological profiles shaped by training status, with implications for sports science, preventive medicine, and public health. The work preserves the methodological and historical integrity of research conducted in the immediate post-conflict period (2000-2001), while updating its presentation to meet contemporary academic standards. Rich with empirical data, theoretical context, and interpretive discussion, it offers a valuable resource for anthropologists, physiologists, sports scientists, and health professionals seeking to understand the multidimensional nature of human performance and adaptation.
