The research deals with the study of the most important anthropometric measurements and their relationship with some physical variables in basketball for female students, aiming to improve sports performance and develop training programs. The significance of this study lies in the role of body measurements in determining the ideal body specifications that enhance physical capabilities in the game.The researcher started from a problem related to the lack of studies linking body measurements and physical variables and their direct impact on athletic performance, as studies often focus on qualitative rather than quantitative evaluation. Hence, the research sought to understand the nature of the relationship between these measurements and physical variables through a descriptive analytical approach that relies on studying correlational relationships, allowing the derivation of scientific conclusions that contribute to improving female students' athletic performance. The research was conducted on a sample of 32 female students from the College of Education for Women at the University of Kufa for the academic year 2023-2024. The researcher used various tools to collect data. The results showed strong correlations between body measurements and physical variables, revealing that an increase in mass negatively affects speed, while muscle mass contributes to improving explosive strength. The relationship between height and limb length also showed an impact on enhancing balance and stability during motion performance. The results confirmed that improving speed and muscle strength positively reflects on the performance of basic skills and that the integration of muscle mass with appropriate training leads to the development of athletic performance. The research concluded that anthropometric measurements play a pivotal role in improving basic sports skills, emphasizing the need to develop training programs suitable for female students' physical characteristics. The study recommended focusing on exercises that enhance speed and explosive strength while utilizing anthropometric measurement results to build effective training plans.
