Abstract

Abstract : The aim of this study was to identify anthropometric measurements and their relationship with static and dynamic balance among young tennis players. Seventy-three young male and female tennis players (less than 25 years) playing in their academies and schools in Delhi NCR. Anthropometric and morphological measurements (weight, height, width, circumference and skinfold thickness) were taken. The results showed that the most important factor for static balance was body fat percentage (P=0.010). Calf circumference was the most significant in dynamic balance (P = 0.029). Based on the results, we recommend considering anthropometric and morphological measurements when selecting young tennis players. We recommend conducting similar studies on female athletes and examining and comparing physical characteristics and several age groups with the best athletes of tennis countries.
