Abstract

The study was designed to examine the relationship of selected anthropometrical and motor fitness variables to performance of kho kho players. The investigator randomly selected a total of fifty (N = 50) intervarsity level men Kho Kho players in different Kerala universities. There age group ranged between 17 to 24 years. The following physical fitness and anthropometric variables were selected for this study. Body weight, Stretch Stature, Arm length, Leg length, Thigh girth (anthropometric variables) Speed, Explosive strength, Agility, Speed Endurance, Strength endurance, abdominal strength (motor fitness variables). Standardized test items were used to collect the relevant data. Statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics and Pearson product moment correlation were computed to statistically analyse the data. The study revealed that speed endurance, abdominal strength, agility, speed has significant positive correlation to performance of kho kho players. Whereas insignificant negative correlation with stretch stature, arm length, leg length and thigh girth. Also shown insignificant positive correlation with weight, calf girth, and explosive strength.
