Abstract
Objective: Today, it is known that to win championship titles, especially in shooting, in addition to physical fitness factors, specific physical characteristics are also effective in a person's success that in medical and sports sciences, it is called anthropometry. The question is whether, in principle, anthropometric characteristics could be related to the accuracy of shooting with a Kalashnikov in a supine position. Methodology: The statistical population of this study is male students between 18 to 27 years old in a military university that 300 people were selected by random sampling method. Selection of professional and amateur groups based on shooting scores, from the highest and lowest scores, 30 people each were selected. Research tools include meters, calipers, calipers, and standard targets. Results: The results showed that the variables of superior and non-superior hand length, superior and non-superior palm length, arm bone length, superior and non-superior forearm length, and superior index finger length of shooters were related to their shooting accuracy. Conclusion: It was found that in strong individuals some length measures were related to shooting score, although in some variables this relationship was not significant. It can be a conclusion that the height of a part of the limbs for shooting can be considered a privilege.
