Some anthropometric measurements and their relationship to the skill of spike volleyball

Abstract

Sports events vary in the nature of their performance and the effort expended in them, so we find that each game determines its own requirements that distinguish it from other games, and among these requirements are anthropometric measurements, which in turn are determined with physical elements in determining the level of performance and reaching victory, and among these measurements is length. Body-Shoulder width chosen by researchers to determine its effect on the skill of striking in volleyball. The aim of the research developed by the researchers was to identify a relationship between anthropometric measurements and the skill of spike. The hypothesis of the research that the researchers developed was the existence of a statistically significant correlation between anthropometric measurements of spike. The researchers used the descriptive approach in a survey style on their sample of volleyball team players at the University of Karbala. The researchers concluded that there is a statistically significant correlation between anthropometric measurements and spike. The researchers reached the most important recommendations: paying attention to anthropometric measurements when training the skill of spike.
