Abstract

The study aimed at identifying the relationship among certain anthropometric measurements and Physical fitness elements and the precision of doing attacking skills for volleyball players. The researcher used the descriptive approach; survey method. The study sample was (20) players, which is (80%) of the study community. Anthropometric Measurements and Physical tests were conducted during the period (19/4/2009)-(29/4/2009), in the gymnastics hall at Al-Yarmouk University. The study results showed that there was a statistical regular sequence relation between the hand explosive power and each of height of body, weight of body and length of arm. Also there was statistical contrasting relation between the leg explosive power and each of weight of body and length of arm. The researcher recommended that teachers and trainers of volleyball should conduct such physical and anthropometric tests periodically for players to identify their progress level.
