The population (N = 201, male =100 and female =101) was selected from Ethiopian Youth Sport Academy Football, whose ages ranged from 13 to 20 years.

BMI ranges 19.1 to 21.72 kg/m2, percentage of body fat ranges 6.095 to 7.64 % for male & 13.08 to 14.42 % female, and the normal sum of skinfold is also in the range of enabling to improve jumping abilities.
