dc.description.abstractObjectives: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine physicalfitness and anthropometric characteristics of a cohort of national youth female tennisplayers and to analyze the relationships between serve speed and aforementionedvariables.Material and Methods: Twelve players, 15.1-18.6 years of age (16.4 ± 1.1 years),were tested on serve speed (radar gun), vertical jump (countermovement jump), linearspeed (10- and 20-m sprints), agility (T agility test), maximal isometric grip strength,and a total of 16 anthropometric variables (body height, body weight, eight skinfolds,four girths, and two breadths). Body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, musclemass percentage, sum of skinfolds (three, six and eight), and somatotype componentswere calculated. The weight and string tension of the rackets were also recorded.Results: Descriptive results indicated similarities and differences in variousmeasurements with those of the normative samples reported by previous studies. Servespeed was found to be significantly associated with body weight (r= .775, p<0.01) andBMI (r= .603, p<0.05).Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of several anthropometric featuresin producing high speed tennis serve among elite youth female players.
