Abstract

In order to determine how certain anthropometric measurements and physical characteristics relate to long jump performance, a study on certain physical characteristics and anthropometric measurements was done. Male long jumpers from Dr. Bheemrao Ambedkar University, Agra were chosen as the study's subjects. Height, weight, arm and leg lengths were chosen as the anthropometric measurements for the study, along with the physical variables of speed (50-yard sprint), agility (10 x 4-yard shuttle run), and explosive leg strength (standing broad jump). Using the Product Moment Method of Co-relation, the relationship between a few selected anthropometric measurements and physical characteristics and long jump performance was computed. The study's findings indicated that, at a 0.05 level of confidence, the calculated value of "r" for the standing wide jump (0.81) was significant. Additionally, the table showed that the factors height, weight, leg length, arm length, shuttle run (4x10 yards), and 50-yard dash were determined to be statistically unimportant to the performance in long jump
