The effectiveness of physical measurements in distinguishing the hierarchical method for high- and low-level students in physical fitness

Abstract

The research aims to: - Determining the physical measurements affecting physical fitness in a hierarchical way for high- and low-level students. The researchers used the descriptive approach in the survey method for its relevance and the nature of the research, and the research community consisted of female students from the College and Departments of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Mosul and Al-Hamdaniya University, and the research sample consisted of (153) female students distributed over the four stages. The researchers used statistical (hierarchical analysis of differentiation). - It was possible to extract nine distinct factors for high- and low-level physical education and sports science students. - It was possible to use the non-standard and standard characteristic function after converting raw scores to standard scores in predicting a group of physical education students according to their distinctive measurements.
