Physical Attributes as Indicator of Performance for Broad Jumping
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: The Aim of the present study was to identify the talent for standing broad jump with the help of physical attributes. Methodology: The sample of the present research work was selected from Govt Boys School Mansa of Mansa district (Punjab) a sample of 40 male students were taken 20 from the age group of 10-12 and 20 from the age group of 12-14. Tools-Height was measured by anthropometric rod set to the nearest 0.5cm. Leg Length: The straight distance between head of the femur and lateral malleolus of fibula. Leg length was measured by anthropometric rod in centimetres to the nearest 0.5cm. Age: Age of the students was verified from the school record. Standing Broad Jump: The athlete stands behind a line marked on the ground with feet slightly apart. A two foot take-off and landing is used, with swinging of the arms and bending of the knees to provide forward drive. The subject attempts to jump as far as possible, landing on both feet without falling backwards. Three attempts are allowed. Record the longest distance jumped, the best of three attempts. Steel tape was used to measure the distance and the same was recorded in centimetres to the nearest 0.5cm. Statistical Analysis: The required data were collected by measuring leg length, Height, Age and standing broad jump. For the statistical analysis the Pearson’s Co-relation statistical technique was employed. Results: On the basis of findings it was found in the age group of 10-12 years there was moderate positive correlation between standing long jump and leg length, In case of height and age the correlation is positive but weak. In the age group of 12-14 years the correlation between standing broad jump and leg length is positive but weak. The relation of standing broad jump with height and age shows positive correlation but weak relation. Conclusion: Physical attributes helps in talent identification in children’s..
