Who were selected randomly? This study was delimited on women gymnastic players. Data was collected by using weight machine and still tape. Mean S.D. and ’t’ ratios were computed to study the difference between anthropometric variables. The findings of the study revealed that there is difference between rhythmic and artistic women gymnasts in anthropometric variables is linear measurement and circumference.
