Abstract

Anthropometrics are the bodily measurements which play a crucial role in sports performance. This study has been made to correlate the agility of male Kabaddi players with some of their anthropometric measurements. In the process of correlating agility with anthropometric measurements, the study has revealed some other interesting statistics of relationship between various anthropometric measurements such as negative correlation between height of the players and their calf girth, leg length and calf girth and many more conclusions have been drawn. The study revealed that hip circumference was the one factor which highly influenced the agility of players irrespective of players being raiders or defenders.
