The aim of this study is to analyse several parameters of physical fitness (body composition, hand strength, lower limb strength, back trunk flexibility) and gender and sport age/categories differences in young people belonging to the regional volleyball selections teams. 60 subjects participated in this study, divided in 4 groups by gender and age/category. Results obtained show statistically significant differences in relation to strength parameters and body composition according to gender; these differences are smaller in lower age/categories (infant: 13-14 years old). They increase (boys strength parameters) in favour of the 15-16 years old male volleyball players. In conclusion, higher differences between genders are observed in oldest volleyball players referring to anthropometrics and physical conditioning parameters.
