Journal Title: International Journal of Current Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the physical parameters and somatotyping components of throwers and jumpers. Methodology: 80 (40 throwers and 40 jumpers) male university level athletes were assessed during the All India Inter University Athletic Meet. The age of athletes was between 18 to 25 years. All subjects were assessed for height, weight, breadths and circumferences. Results: The independent samples t-test revealed that the throwers were significantly taller (p<0.01) and heavier (p<0.01) than the jumpers. The throwers were also reported to have significantly greater body mass index (p<0.01), endomorphy (p<0.01) and mesomorphy (p<0.01) in comparison to jumpers. The jumpers had significantly greater ectomorphy component (p<0.01) than the throwers. Conclusion: It is concluded that in most of the parameters there were significant differences between throwers and jumpers.
