Abstract
During the research, the following methods were used: 1. analysis of literary sources, 2. collection of statistical data. The weight and height indicators of the first teams of the major league clubs of the leading European football countries (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France) were collected. 112 indicators of height and weight of defenders of 20 clubs (Barcelona, Juventus, Chelsea, Bayern, etc.) were recorded; 3) methods of mathematical statistics. The study was carried out in 2022. According to our data, regardless of national characteristics, the strongest central defenders, in comparison with the extreme ones, have a significant advantage in terms of height and weight. Consequently, the weight-height model characteristics of the players of the defensive line should not be presented in a generalized form, as is often done.
