Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Sports and Physical Education (IOSR-JSPE) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The purpose of the Study was to investigate the relationship between Selected Anthropometric variables i.e. Standing Height, Weight, Full Leg length, Lower leg length, Thigh length, Arm length, Shoulder width, Chest girth, Thigh girth and Calf girth with the Vertical Jump ability of elementary College level Athletes. On the way of investigation, total of 30 male students, from various colleges of Paschim Medinipur District, those who are connected with regular sports activities, were selected purposively as a subject. The ability of Vertical Jump performance of each Athlete was measured by conducting the “Vertical Jump Test” and on account of measuring the undertaken Anthropometric variables, the following criteria of measures were introduced respectively to each variable i.e. Stadiometer for Standing Height, Weighing machine on account of Body weight, Flexible Steel tape for rest of the variables and the scores were recorded nearest to half a centimeter. The statistical technique of Pearson‟s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was applied on the gathered data and on the basis of calculated „r‟ it is observed that Standing Height (r=0.431), Weight (r= 0.547), Full Leg length (r=0.445), Lower Leg length (r=0.488) and Calf girth (r=0.612) are significantly related with the Vertical Jumping ability of the Athletes where the table value of „r‟ is 0.349 at 0.05 level of confidence. Rest of the variables i.e. Thigh Length (r=0.200), Arm Length (r=0.326), Shoulder width (r=0.326), Chest girth (r=0.246) and Thigh girth (r= - 0.226) has shown no significant relationship with the vertical jump ability.
