Relationship of selected anthropometric variable to the performance in race walking

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of selected anthropometric variables to the performance in race walking. The subjects were 5 male race walkers of junior national level with their age ranging between 18-24 years. the anthropometric variables have exhibited significant relationship with the performance of race walking. It may be attributed to the fact that the sample size of the subjects was very small and also the greater radius of rotation provide greater momentum and stride length is depended on greater leg length, but here the arm length and leg length has not shown signi male significant relationship it may be because of other factors.
