dc.description.abstract	For a modern model of a handball player anthropometric variables such as height, weight, BMI, arm length and hand span are necessary for physical performance including speed and power and also skill performance of players. Such an anthropometric profile plays a supportive role in helping players perform under actual competitive conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of anthropometric variables with shooting accuracy and selected basic motor abilities of players. The study works out with correlational research design. Thirty three male handball players of Bahir dar and Adet handball project with the age of 17.8±1.7 and 2.18±0.68 years of playing experience were selected by comprehensive methods of sample selection as subjects of this study. Participants were measured on height, weight, BMI, arm length, hand span, shooting accuracy tests, explosive power (vertical jump power test) and speed (30m sprinting test) once. The row data collected from the study subject was analyzed by using person product correlation moment correlation coefficient and linear regression. Additionally computer software called SPSS version 23 for correlation and regression analysis were used. The results showed that between selected anthropometric variables (height, weight, arm length and hand span has strong positive correlation with shooting accuracy, speed and explosive power of handball players and it was significance at (p ≤ 0.05). based on the finding BMI has week positive correlation with speed, and explosive power of handball players whereas it has week negative correlation with shooting accuracy of handball players and it was insignificant at (p>0.05). Based on the above findings it can be concluded that anthropometric variables has positive correlation with speed, power and shooting accuracy except BMI. The result shows that on the result height is the most dominant anthropometric variable for speed performance of handball players, Therefore, considering anthropometric variables is suggested to handball coaches for improving physical fitness performances and shooting accuracy of players.
