Abstract :
In sport, the characteristics of physical, physiological, psychological, sociological and anthropometrical are functionally associated with the performance of a player or an athlete. Considering the requirements of these characteristics in sport, each sport has its own entity since they differed from one another in nature. Meanwhile, though a particular sport has been defined in the requirements of these characteristics, within variance in spot may arise because of variations exist among the players of particular sport in terms of physical and anthropometric aspects. Anthropometry is the measurements of the body to discover it's exactly dimension and the proportions of its parts(Hardick,1939). In general, the structure of human body is explained by its height and weight(Cwten,1974, Krakower,1935)). But in sport, players with same height and weight may not be similar in the efficiency of execution of movement and sustainable capacity since the segments of body part are varied in terms of its length, width, and circumference.
