Abstract

Relationship between anthropometric variables and cordination ability of male football players

Author(s): Rajkumar Sharma and Ashish Kumar Nigam

The purpose of the present investigation was to established the "Relationship between Anthropometric variables and Coordinative variables of football players " A sample of 64 male football players from four universities ranging in ages between 20 to 25 years were selected as subjects for the present investigation. All the subjects were tested in anthropometric variables i.e. General body measurement (Body weight and height), Skeletal diameter (Shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, and ankle width), Circumferential measurements (Chest, thigh and calf circumference), Skin-fold measurements (Biceps, triceps, sub-scapular, suprailiac, thigh and calf skin-fold) and Scott obstacle race test. In order to find out the significance of differences among male football players, the mean, standard deviation, F-ratio and product moment coefficient correlation were computed by using SPSS 16.0 version. The results of the study revealed that statistically significant difference existed among male football players in their height and Coordination ability. Similarity was observed in their body weight. The significant relationship was not found between anthropometric variables and coordination ability except calf circumferential measurement. It is recommended that a proper training program must be prepared and implemented to develop the coordination ability of football players.
