Abstract: 
The purpose of this study is to construct Norms of Upper and Lower Limbs strength, Body Composition, and Resting Metabolic Rate Amongst Female in Palestinian Technical Collage in Ramallah. Furthermore, determine the correlation coefficient among ( the place of residence & practitioner ) with (BF% , FFM , BMI , FAT-MASS , TBW , BSA , hand grip /right hand , hand grip /left hand ,throw ball 2kg /right hand , throw ball 2kg /left hand , throw ball 2kg / with two hands ). The sample consisted of all female students (179) in Palestinian Technical Collage in Ramallah, and this constitutes (30%) of the community, sample which was chosen on purpose. Six physical test have been chosen for measuring the elements of Upper Limbs strength,they were: hand grip /right hand , hand grip /left hand ,throw ball 2kg /right hand , throw ball 2kg /left hand , throw ball 2kg / with two hands. Tow tests for measuring the elements of Lower Limbs strength were used (Vertical jump , long jump), the measured variables includes: RMR, body composition ( BF% , FFM , BMI , FAT-MASS , TBW , BSA ). Data has been gathered, codified, entered the computer and statistically processed by using the Statistical Package of the Social Science (SPSS). - The results showed that there is a possibility for building standard levels For Upper and Lower Limbs strength, Body Composition and Resting Metabolic Rate Amongst Female in Palestinian Technical Collage in Ramallah according to the ranks. - There were significant differences at (0.05 = α) in Upper and Lower Limbs strength Body Composition and Resting Metabolic Rate Amongst Female in Palestinian Technical Collage in Ramallah due to the variables of the (practitioner and non- practitioner ) in favor of practitioner. - There were significant differences at (0.05 = α) in Upper and Lower Limbs strength Body Composition and Resting Metabolic Rate Amongst Female in Palestinian Technical Collage in Ramallah due to the variables of the place of residence (camp , village , city) in favor of the city . - There were significant differences at (0.05 = α) in the variable of BMI and RMR , BF% , FFM , TBW , BSA , Hand grip /right hand , Hand grip /left hand , long jump ). According to the study results, several recommendations have been suggested, the most important one is to prepare physical training programs relying on standard levels of the research community, in order to elevate the level of fitness of the students. Key words: Upper and Lower Limbs strength, Body Composition and (RMR) Resting Metabolic Rate.
