Abstract
The aim of the search is to:
Determining the simple factorial construction of anthropometric measurements for students aged 16-18 years.
Determining a set of short scales that represent the extracted factors, as indicators of anthropometric measurements.
The sample represented four middle schools in the city of Mosul within the right and left coasts, with a total of (96) students, from each school 24 students, divided equally between the three ages. 22) Measurement, and the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, mode, skew coefficient, correlation coefficient and factor analysis were used as statistical means. As for the conclusions, they were represented by the following:
The factorial analysis of (22) variables representing the anthropometric measurements of middle school students aged (16-17) years showed four factors, three of which were accepted in light of the conditions set for accepting the factor.
The factors that emerged through the analysis and that were accepted allow the following names to be given:
Ocean factor and symptoms.
Body length factor.
Skinfold thickness factor.
- A set of measurements was extracted in light of the accepted factors representing the body measurements indicators (abdominal circumference, body length, and thickness of the skinfold of the scapula)
