Abstract
The development of young athletes requires balanced and comprehensive preparation in all aspects, through the use of the best training methods to predict high-level performance. Anthropometry is defined as the science that measures the human body and its parts, and is used to evaluate individuals and highlight structural differences. Anthropometric measurements play an important role in various scientific fields, such as distinguishing between human body parts and animals, understanding differences among human races, and studying environmental influences. These measurements are particularly valuable in sports due to the diversity of activities and environments, as they provide foundational data and concepts for comparing athletic performance between individuals. Moreover, an individual's fitness and athletic abilities are influenced by the suitability of their body composition for the required physical tasks. People with different body structures may perform the same movement differently. Through the researchers' practical experience in training, a chronic issue was observed: inconsistency in performance levels among young athletes and their limited development in physical and technical abilities, as well as their failure to reach advanced stages in the sport. This is often due to inadequate mastery of key technical skills, which can be attributed to many coaches’ lack of attention to physical characteristics when selecting athletes.
