RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANTHROPOMETRIC AND PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABLES OF COLLEGE LEVEL FEMALE SPRINTERS AND LONG JUMPERS
Keywords:
Height, Weight, Leg Length, Blood Pressure, Resting Heart Rate and V(O2).Abstract
The aim of this study was to find out the relationship between selected anthropometric and physiological variables of college level female long jumpers and sprinters. Fifteen female sprinters and fifteen female long jumpers of Post Graduate Government college sector-11 Chandigarh were tested. The range of age for all female sportspersons lies from 20 to 25 years. The selected anthropometric measurements like height, body weight and leg length and physiological variables like resting heart rate, blood pressure and Vo2 max were taken. In order to ascertain significance of correlation between the anthropometric and physiological variables, pearson’s coefficient of correlation (r) test was employed and the level of significance was recorded at 5% and 1% level. Results revealed that female long jumpers were found taller for height, heavier for body weight and longer for leg length with respect to female sprinters. In physiological variables, female sprinters were investigated for more resting heart rate, similar blood pressure (systolic) and slightly lesser V (o2) max with respect to long jumpers. In female sprinters, highly significant correlation values were observed at 1% level between height & body weight (0.66), height & leg length (o.88), body weight & leg length (0.78), resting heart rate & blood pressure (systolic) (0.799), resting heart rate & Vo2 max (-0.996)and blood pressure & Vo2max(-0.81) respectively. Height has shown significant correlation at 5% level with resting heart rate (-0.38) and Vo2 max (0.38). In female long jumpers, highly significant correlation values were observed at 1% level between height & leg length (0.62), resting heart rate & blood pressure (systolic) (0.813), resting heart rate & Vo2max(-0.992) and blood pressure & Vo2 max (-0.81) respectively. Leg length has shown significant correlation at 5% level with resting heart rate (0.39) and Vo2max (-0.38).
