Abstract
The research aimed to explore the relationship between anthropometric and functional measurements and skill performance, as well as to determine the contribution of these measurements to skill performance. The researcher used a descriptive method with a sample consisting of 10 female tennis players, employing various anthropometric and functional measurements and skill tests recommended by experts. The findings highlighted that progress in skill performance in sports activities depends fundamentally on key physical capacities and anthropometric measurements, which are essential factors in achieving high performance levels and are critical for motor skill success. The research problem focused on identifying the relationship between certain anthropometric measurements and the straight smash skill. The study sample included 56 fourth-year students from the College of Physical Education at the University of Baghdad. Results indicated a statistically significant relationship between the straight smash skill and both shoulder width and the distance between the anterior superior iliac spines (pelvic bones). Additionally, the researcher concluded that grip strength, lower limb length, distance between the iliac spines, total height, upper limb length, and open palm width are the most important and influential measurements contributing to the straight smash skill.
