Abstract Aim: The study aimed to investigate the effects of the somatotype components on handball. Methods: The sample consisted of 60 elite junior handball players. Somatotype was evaluated using the Heath & Carter method. The kinetic performance trials of the handball athletes were running speed performance over 5 m 10 m and 20 m sprints, sit and reach, standing long jump (SLJ), ball velocity, and maximum aerobic power. For the data analyses, we used Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. Results: The endomorphic component correlated positive with all three sprint times (5 m, 10 m και 30 m sprints) (r = 0.315, p = 0.014; r = 0.367, p = 0.004; r = 0.358, p = 0.005 respectively) while negative with SLJ (r = -0.418, p = 0.001) και maximum aerobic power (r = -0.322, p = 0.012). The mesomorphic component had a positive correlation with ball velocity (r = 0.260, p = 0.045) and negative relation with SLJ (r = -0.261, p = 0.044). The ectomorphic component exhibited a negative correlation only with ball velocity (r = -0.260, p = 0.045). The ordinary least square regression models found that endomorphy and ectomorphy were prognostic factors and predicted worse performance in all of the examined motor performance indices except ball velocity and 5 m sprint, while mesomorphy was a predictor of worse performance in SLJ. Conclusions: In conclusion, according to the findings of this study, somatotype components play an important role in performance-related parameters.

Abstract: In the long history of Greek reality, religiosity underwent substantial changes in their approaches and beliefs, a fact that also involved the need for linguistic adaptations in order to express new concepts and requirements of worship. Monolectic names or periphrasis influenced by Greek philosophical tradition as a result of its use throughout the history of the Greek letters appear until today without losing their religious concept. Among the names monolectic the term ἱερόν, whose presence begins in the VIII BC century and continues to the present.

Resumen: En la larga historia de la realidad griega, la religiosidad sufrió cambios sustanciales en sus planteamientos y creencias, un hecho que también implicó la necesidad de adaptaciones lingüísticas para expresar nuevos conceptos y requisitos de culto. Νombres monolécticos o perífrasis influenciados por la tradición filosófica griega, como resultado de su uso en toda la historia de las letras griegas, aparecen hasta hoy sin perder su concepto religioso. El término sustantivado ἱερόν es una de las denominaciones del lugar más sagrado e importante del templo cristiano, del presbiterio, cuya presencia comienza en el siglo VIII BC y continúa incesante hasta la actualidad.
