The purpose of the present study was to estimate the back strength and its correlations with selected ant anthropometric variables in volleyball players. Five anthropometric variables viz, height, weight, BMI, knee height and length of femur, two body composition parameters, viz. percent body fat and percent lean body mass, and back strength were measured on randomly selected 199 volleyball players (108 males and 9l females) aged 19–25 years. An adequate number of controls (n = 188, 103 males and 85 females) were also taken from the same place for comparisons. In results, one way analysis of variance showed significant between-group differences (p ≤ 0.001) in all the variables between volleyball players of both the sexes and controls. In volley players, significant positive correlations (p ≤ 0.01) were found with percent body fat. In conclusion, it may be stated that back strength had some strong positive correlations with selected anthropometric variables in volleyball players.
