ANALYSIS OF SELECTED ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS AMONG THROWERS AND JUMPERS OF WESTERN RAJASTHAN

Abstract

Athletic sports comprise various competitive athletic contests based on running, jumping, and
throwing. Each sport requires specific physique or morphological features which plays a major,
arguably critical role in competition success. Present Study was conducted on 60 Atheletes by
taking their skinfold measurement (Triceps, Chest, Abdoman & Calf), biceps & calf girth.
Throwers shown highly significant value in most of the parameters except calf girth. The Jumpers
have greater calf girths than the throwers. The study may helpful to find out relationship between
body structure and performance level.
