Relationship of selected anthropometric measurements with motor fitness performance of volleyball players

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine relationships between anthropometric measurements with motor fitness performance of volleyball players. For the Present study source of data was taken from Warud Taluka, Dist. Amravati (M.S.) who participated in Inter College level volleyball players. For the present study 20 subjects were selected from volleyball players. Age of subjects was ranging between 18 to 25 years. The subjects were selected by purposive sampling method. Following equipments would be used for collection of data: 1) The weight of each subject was taken on a leveled platform weighing machine and the weight was recorded nearest to half a kilogram, 2) The height of the subject was measured with the help of stadiometer and Score was recorded to nearest of centimeters, 3) Arm length was measured with help of flexible non-stretchable steel tape to nearest of a centimeter, 4) Leg length was measured with help of flexible non-stretchable steel tape to nearest of a centimeter, 5) Speed was measured by administering 50 meter dash, 6) Agility was measured by administering 4×10 yard Shuttle run and 7) Muscular endurance was by administering bent-knee sit-ups. The statistical analysis and interpretation of data pertaining to the score of anthropometric measurement and motor fitness performance of volleyball players have been presented. To find out relationship of anthropometric with motor fitness performance Inter Correlation Matrix, statistical technique was employed. Result: There was significant relationship weight, leg length, arm length, speed, agility, muscular endurance with height; significant relationship of leg length, arm length, agility, and muscular endurance with weight, insignificant relationship of speed with weight, significant relationship of arm length, speed, agility; significant relationship of muscular endurance with leg length, insignificant relationship of speed, agility with arm length, significant relationship of muscular endurance with arm length; significant relationship between agility and speed and insignificant relationship of muscular endurance with speed and agility.
