The purpose of this study was to compare the anthropometric measurement to the professional players of the three different disciplines of basketball, handball and volleyball. . For each player anthropometric measurements such as weight, body height, waist circumference, BMI and skinfold calculation on different sports are performed. Differences in terms of anthropometric measurements were assessed by independent static tests and the differences for each variable for each sport were evaluated with the ANOVA method with the Post Hoc test. As a conclusion in this study, the results of this study showed that the anthropometric measurements of professional players of the three main sports varied among them, while there were no significant differences between sports for the measurement of biceps and suprailliac fat. According to this study, sports have different demands on anthropometric attributes, which are specific to each professional player of three basketball, volleyball and handball sports. Therefore, for this variety of outcomes, coaches need to create training programs according to the sport's specifications and every sportsman in the field.
The purpose of the study was to compare the anthropometric characteristics and somatotype of the Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar's male basketball players and volleyball players. Sixty three sportspersons (volleyball=36 and basketball=27) of age group 18-25 years were selected from different colleges affiliated to Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. All the participants were assessed for height, weight, breadths, girths and skin fold thickness. An independent samples t-test revealed that basketball players had significantly higher height (p<0.01), weight (p<0.01) and body surface area (p<0.01) as compared to volleyball players. The basketball players were also found to have significantly greater biceps (p<0.01) and suprailliac (p<0.01) skin fold thicknesses, calf circumference (p<0.05), percent body fat (p<0.01), total body fat (p<0.01), fat free mass (p<0.05) and endomorphic component (p<0.05) as compared to volleyball players. Volleyball players had significantly greater body density (p<0.01) as compared to basketball players. The basketball and volleyball players of this study were found to have higher percentage body fat with lower body height and body weight than their international counterparts. Further investigations are needed on the above studied variables along with fitness and physiological variables to assess relationships among them and with performances in volleyball and basketball.

Comparison of anthropometric profile between national level volleyball and football players2021 •
The aim of our present study was to investigate the anthropometrical status of athletes and non-athletes. The anthropometric data included 3 types of measurements: basic, girths and breadths. The research was carried out on 20 handball players, 16 volleyball players and 21 healthy non-athlete subjects. The data obtained after applying the One-Way ANOVA indicates the existence of differences between the research groups (p<0.05), depending on weight, BMI, girths (arm span, chest, waist, hip), and breadths (biacromial, biliocristal, transverse chest), while no differences were recorded for height and anterior-posterior chest depth. Our research demonstrated the existence of differences between the non-athletes and athletes, as a result of the targeted selection of the athletes for each post or team.

Sport-Specific Morphology Profile: Differences in Anthropometric Characteristics between Elite Soccer and Basketball PlayersThe present study was undertaken to find out the significant relationship of selected anthropometric variables with the volleyball playing performance. 25 university level male volleyball players from Guru Ghasidas Univertsity, Bilaspur were selected as a subject for the present study with age range between 18 to 22 years. The following anthropometric variables i.e. Height, Weight, Arm length and Leg length variables were selected for the testing the hypothesis. The playing performance was analyzed by three experts through subjective observation. Pearson's Product Moment correlation test was employed for the present study and the level of significance was set at 0.05. The statistical test was computed by using standard statistical package SPSS 16. Analysis of the results indicated that Height and Leg length from the anthropometric variables were shown the significant relationship with the volleyball playing performance. Introduction Volleyball is a team game played by two teams on a playing court divided by a net. There are different versions existing for specific situation in order to offer the versatility of the game to everyone. The object of the game is to send the ball over the net in control to ground it on the opponent's court, and to prevent the same attempt by the opponent. The team has three hits for returning the ball (in addition to the block contact). The ball is set in play with a service: hit by the server over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the playing court, goes " out " or a team fails to return it properly. Anthropometry is the methodical quantitative representation of the human body. Anthropometry helps to study the relationship between the size and shape of the human body and sports performance. Anthropometric techniques are used to measure the complete and relative variability in size and shape of the human body. Depending on the purpose, anthropometric instrumentation may consist of weighing scale, anthropometer, skinfold caliper, body volume tanks, with bioelectrical impedance analyzers. Expert of this field use internationally standardized techniques to determine athletes and use calculations of body composition, dimensions, proportion and ratio to assist improve sport performance. In recent volleyball measurement, evaluation, analysis and interpretation of player's team performance are very essential in scientific training and development of top class team. Match analysis and tests are the most important means to obtain data and subjective information on the performance of players and team during the match. Scouting has become a tool used by every coach to get ready their team for the competition. The study was delimited to university level boy's players of Guru Ghasidas Univertsity and selected anthropometric variables. The study was further restricted to the volleyball playing performance which was evaluated through a subject rating in playing ability for each player by a panel of three experts. The study was hypothesized that there would be significant relationship between selected anthropometrical variable with the volleyball playing performance.

Anthropometric Measurements of Volleyball Players at Different Level of Competition2015 •
The purpose of this study was to compare the anthropometric characteristics of volleyball players at different level of competition (i.e. inter-college level and inter-school level). A sample of 72 subjects, which includes 36 each, inter-college level (N=36, mean ± SD: age 20.42 ± 0.87 years, height 178.06± 6.14cm, weight 67.64± 6.88kg, BMI 21.34± 2.06) and inter-school level (N=36, mean ± SD: age 17.42 ± 0.87 years, height 174.06± 6.14cm, weight 64.64± 6.88kg, BMI 21.33± 2.12) male volleyball players, was selected for the present study. The purposive sampling technique was used to select the subjects. All the subjects were assessed for height, weight, lengths, circumferences, diameters and skin fold thicknesses. An independent samples t-test revealed that inter-college volleyball players had significantly higher height (p˂0.05), arm length(p˂0.05), upper leg length (p˂0.05) and lower leg length (p˂0.05) as compared to inter-school level volleyball players. The inter-college level volleyball players were also found to have significantly greater elbow diameter (p˂0.05), shoulder diameter (p˂0.05), hip diameter (p˂ 0.05), knee diameter (p˂0.05),calf circumference (p˂0.05), chest circumference (p˂0.05), upper arm circumference (p˂0.05) and fore arm circumference (p˂0.05).Inter-school volleyball players had significantly greater biceps (p˂0.05), triceps (p˂0.05), subscapular (p˂ 0.05) andsuprailliacskinfold (p˂ 0.05) as compared to basketball players.
