Anthropometry and Physical Factors for Determining Skills of Drive in Squash Game

Abstract

The purpose of this study was: To determine the anthropometric factors that determine blow drive skills in squash games and to determine the physical factors that determine the drive blow skills. The anthropometric factor that determines blow drive skills is body weight with a percentage of roles to a factor of85.5%. height with a percentage of roles to a factor of85.4%, and the length of the legs with the percentage of roles to a factor of37.5%, and the physical factor that determines the skill of the drive is the grip strength of67%, flexibility of33.5%, coordination ankles by 39.5%, leg muscle power by75%, agility by 78.3% at97%, and cardiovascular endurance by 71.5%. Anthropometry and physical factors (latent variables ξ1) that determine blow drive skills can be measured by weight indicator variables(0.888; 0.855), height(0.877; 0.854), leg length(0.451; 0.375), grip strength (0.719; 0.670), flexibility (0.432; 0.335), hand eye coordination(0.546; 0.539), limb muscle power (0.765; 0.750), agility(0.789; 0.783), speed(0.8158; 0.816) and cardiovascular endurance (0.754; 0.715) will bring FIK UNM students to improve theirblow drive skills in the game of squash.
