Differences between Body Composition Groups Regarding Physical Tests and Performance-Related Variables  
Descriptive statistics and ANCOVA results (with YAPHV as a covariate) concerning the morphological attributes, fitness performance measures, and on-court game performance indicators for BF\(\%\) and FFM groups, are presented in Table 4 for male players, and in Table 5 for female players. \begin{table}

In male players, there were significant differences between BF% groups in the 20 m speed test (\(p=0.010\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.056\)), T-test (\(p=0.015\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.050\)), CMJ height (\(p\leq 0.001\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.092\)) and relative power (\(p=0.004\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.067\)), CMJ-S height (\(p\leq 0.001\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.102\)) and relative power (\(p=0.003\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.068\)), PIR/ game (\(p=0.002\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.075\)) and PIR/ min (\(p=0.003\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.068\)), points/game (\(p=0.017\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.049\)) and points/ min (\(p=0.025\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.044\)), and minutes played per game (\(p=0.020\), \(\eta_{P}^{2}=0.047\)).
