Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric, physical and physiological (ventilatory) characteristics in Junior Volleyball Saudi Arabia Players. Ninety-Seven Junior volleyball players were included from three regions (western, central and eastern) in different clubs in Saudi Arabia. The primary measures were anthropometric, physical and physiological characteristics according to designed protocol for measurements. The result of this study demonstrated that, there were statistically significant differences in mean values of selected anthropometric measures in one region in relation to other regions. In addition, there were statistically significant differences in mean values of physiological (ventilatory) measures in favor of the western area. In conclusion, these results demonstrated the importance of measuring the anthropometric, physical and physiological parameters of junior volleyball players and presented normative data for anthropometric, physical and physiological parameters and could be useful in selection and profiling of junior volleyball players.
