The data collected from ten body builders on selected anthropometric measurements and body building performance have been statistically analyzed. To ascertain the degree of relationship Pearson product moment correlation was selected and the level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. Result of the study indicated that, there was no relationship between body building performance and all the selected anthropometric measurements such as standing height, body weight, arm length, chest girth, biceps girth, leg length, waist girth, thigh girth, calf girth and wrist girth.
