The present study investigated the relationship between various body measurements and spiking ability of university level Volleyball Players. For the purpose of the study, thirty volleyball players were selected as subjects from the North Zone Inter-University Volleyball Tournament. The body measurements were taken with the help of weighing machine, stadiometer and anthropometer. The performance of the subjects was measured in terms of Spiking ability of the players during the match. Product moment method for inter-correlation was applied. The measurements i.e. weight, height, trunk length, leg length, fore-leg length, arm length, upper- arm length, fore- arm length have been found to possess positive and significant correlation with the spiking ability at 0.05 and 0.01 levels. The relationship for sitting height was significant only at 0.05 levels. But, the relationship for thigh and foot length was not statistically significant. The results showed that increase in most of body measurements contribute towards the better spiking ability.

Spiking Ability; Body Height; Body Weight; Body Lengths.
