teaching and training among students of the Faculty of Physical Education at Yarmouk University. The
descriptive approach was used by the survey method. The sample was chosen by random method, and
it consisted of 129 male and female students, representing 46.2% of the original population, The data
was analyzed by using the SPSS program to calculate the arithmetic rates and standard deviations, Ttest, and correlation coefficients. The results showed that the axis of the importance of anthropometric
measurements in teaching and training came at the level of (acceptable), the axis of tools and devices
with a grade (weak), the axis of procedural applications with a grade (acceptable), and the relationship
of measurements to sports with a grade (weak). The results also showed differences in responses
