One of the parameters affecting at success of kumite players is The performance velocity of techniques. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between anthropometric characteristics with the performance velocity of Gyakuzuki technique in Elite female Karatekas. Thirty-one senior female kumite competitors of the Sepahan Mobarakeh Foolad karate team participated in this study. Somatotype and The anthropometric profile were measured. Also, The performance velocity of techniques was evaluated using quintic software. The findings showed that The mean somatotype of Karatekas was 3.9 - 4.8 – 3.1 (values for endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph, respectively). The Mesomorphic component strongly correlated with velocity of techniques Gyakuzuki. While, The values height, sitting height and humorous bone length negative correlated with velocity of technique Gyaku-zuki. The results indicated that the somatotype and anthropometric characteristics influence on the performance velocity of Gyaku-zuki technique CP - IRAN IN - LG - eng PB - Research-in-Sport-Medicine-and-Technology PG - 29 PT - Research YR - 2012
