ROLE OF TECHNICAL DIVERSIFICATION ABILITY AND SOMATOTYPES IN ACCURACY AND PRECISION OF SKILLS OF FEMALE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS OF JAMMU & KASHMIR

The ideal of a good and perfect life is to have a sound mind in a sound body. For this one must engage in games like volleyball. Volleyball is a very dynamic sport characterized by various sprints, jumps (blocking and spiking) and high-intensity court movements that occur repeatedly during competition. Successful performance of these movement structures depends greatly on anthropometric and physical performance variables. Moreover, to achieve best performance in the volleyball game, one needs to possess a specific type of body structure. Body size refers to the person's height and weight. The ideal size for a sportsperson depends on the sport or event and sometimes the position they play in their sport. Specifically, body composition refers to the athlete's body fat. In most sports, the athlete will try to keep his/her levels of body fat to a minimum. In general the higher the percentage of body fat the poorer the performance. One of the most widely used metric or measurement system used to assign body structure of a person is somatotyping.
