Abstract :Purpose:  The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the thickness of the arm ski,  circumference measurement  and the hand grip of the 10-12 age badminton children athletes.  Materials and Methods:  72 badminton athletes with a mean age of 11.8±0.1 were included in the study voluntarily. Physical characteristics of children; height insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg);, body weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg);, body mass index  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg/m²);,  body circumference measurements insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cm);, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(forearm, mid-arm and mid-upper arm); and skinfold insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mm);, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(triceps, subscapula, biceps, suprailiac skin thickness); values ​​were measured.  Results: Data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 package program. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine whether the distribution of numerical variables was uniformly distributed. Pearson Correlation test was applied to determine whether there is a correlation between the parameters. Statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05. In the evaluation, a statistically significant difference was found between the right hand grip strength and subscapula skin thickness,  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.25);, mid-arm circumference,  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.27);,  measurement and left hand grip strength with subscapula skin thickness,  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.3);,  forearm circumference,  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.24);,  mid-arm circumference,  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.35);  and mid-upper arm circumference,  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.34);,  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p <0.05);.  Conclusion:  It can be said that arm skin thickness and arm circumferential measurements are effective in the hand grip  strength  parameters of sports such as badminton.
