Aim and Objective: The study aimed to investigate the relationship of selected anthropometric and body compositional variables to the releasing speed of the ball in medium pace bowlers. Materials and Methods: Thirty senior's women board players (BCCI) were selected for the study (mean age 23.4 ± 2.03, mean height 152.1 ± 3.44, and mean weight 52.4 ± 4.21). Sliding caliper and anthropometric rode were used for anthropometrical measurements, and for the body compositional measurement,

... al impedance was used and the releasing speed of the ball was assessed using velocity speed radar gun. Results: Among all the selected variables, the model identified three variables which were muscle mass, total arm length, and fat and the regression model explains 97.6% of the total variability in the muscle mass, total arm length, and fat in relation to ball release speed of the pace bowlers and which is quite good. Conclusion: The regression equation which was developed by the model was as follow: Speed of the ball (performance of pace bowlers) = –94.767+5.15×(Muscle Mass)+1.488×(Total Arm Length)+0.220×(Fat).
