In the analysis of the data, the SPSS 23.0 statistical program was used. The Kolmogorov Smirnov test was performed to determine whether the data were normal distributions. Relations between the data were determined by Pearson correlation test and studied at p <0.05 significance level. As a result of the analysis of the data; statistically significant differences were found between the values of the upper leg circumference and leg lengths of the footballers and the results of the motoric test measurements (p<0,05).
