| Summary: | This study aimed to identify relationships between technical, physical, and anthropometric characteristics in 31 female rugby sevens players. During 28 weeks, the athletes performed 37 friendly matches to assess technical variables (e.g. effective passes), 6 assessments of athletic performance (strength, power and running tests), and 4 evaluations of anthropometric measures (height, body mass, circumferences, lean and fat mass). Pearson’s and Spearman’s coefficients estimated the correlations between technical parameters and the correlations between physical and anthropometric variables. Correlations were verified between technical and physical or anthropometric variables (p ≤ 0.05). Moderate to almost perfect correlations were found between technical variables (r = 0.36-0.99) and moderate to large correlations between physical and anthropometric parameters (r ranging from 0.36 to 0.68). Standing long jump is associated with 35.4% of duel and 30.5% of effective duel, pull-up is associated with 12.7% of duel, and 1,200-m is associated with 12.6% of effective pass and 26.2% of tackle. Tackle was associated with abdominal (14.1%), waist (13.7%) and hip (15.6%) circumferences, and fat mass (13%). Therefore, anthropometric and physical parameters may influence the tackles, duels and effective passes performed in the rugby sevens.
