Description
The purpose of this research is to analyze some anthropometric parameters and their effect on the performance of motor tests. Methods: the study was conducted on a sample of 60 students, students of the high school "The British School of Kosovo" 10th grade, 40 men and 20 women. Anthropometric parameters such as (length, weight, body mass index, arm length, leg length) and motoric tests (Ilion’s Agility Test, 10- meter run, tapping test, vertical jump, side steps, long jump, throwing the medicine ball from the chair, throwing the medicine ball behind the head, 20m run from the high star) were used. The statistics obtained were provided by descriptive statistics, and correlation according to Pearson linear – bivariate method. Results: According to the descriptive statistical analyses, all anthropometric and motoric parameters have shown normal distribution, except Ilion’s Agility Test and throwing the medicine ball from the chair, which has shown positive distribution on skewness and kurtosis value. According to the correlations Pearson linear – bivariant analyses, all anthropometric parameters have shown significant correlations with motoric parameters (p = 0.01). Conclusion: It can be concluded that all anthropometric parameters which we chose for this research have shown high correlations with motoric parameters, so higher, leg length, and hand length have shown high correlations with the vertical jump test
