摘要：This study aimed to identify the anthropometric measurements and their relation to the static and dynamic balance among junior tennis players. Twenty four male junior tennis players (under the age of 19) who were registered to compete in the 2015 national age-group championships participated in this study. Twenty three anthropometric and morphological measurements were conducted (weights, heights, widths, circumferences, and skinfold thickness). The results showed that the most significant contributor to the static balance was the pelvic width (P=0.011). Calf circumference and ankle width were most significant in the Dynamic balance (P=0.001 & P=0.004) respectively. Based on the findings we recommend that the anthropometric and morphological measurement be taken into consideration when selecting junior tennis-players. We also recommend conducting similar studies for female athletes and investigating further physical characteristics and multiple age-groups and compare it with elite athletes from countries better known in tennis
