Abstract
Abstract The research aims at : - specifying the simple Factorial structure for the anthropometric gymnastic players. - specifying a group of sum up standards (represents the extracted factor) in their own that can possibly describe the anthropometric standards of the gymnastics players . The research sample included (18) top-seeded gymnastics players in Iraq, whilst data collection representing (21) anthropometric measurements these variables included lengths, breadths, circumferences ,skin folds and weight body. The factor analysis using principle components by orthogonal rotation represented tools statistical. The conclusions study included - factor analysis by using orthogonal rotation which was conducted (21) variables representing anthropometric gymnastic players has shown five factor depending factors ,three of these factor were approved. - The approved factors during the analysis of anthropometric measurements can be labeled as : circumference and breadths Factor. hand and foot factor. skin folds factor. - the must significant and distinctive anthropometric measurements were extracted relying on the approved factors for gymnastic players .they are: (chest circumference, length hand, suprailiac skin fold ).
