Abstract

The study entitled as “A Study on Reliability of Selected Circumference Measurements using Circumference Anthropometric Tapes”. Objectives of the study were  Reliability of Circumference Measurement to measure calf, forearm, hand (palm), thigh, upper arm, wrist, ankle of right and left side.  Reliability of Circumference measurement to measure Chest, Hip, Waist, Neck. This study was delimited to Male Physical Education students within the age group 18-25 years. Anthropometric Steel Tape. The Limitation of the study was possible time & other complications due to Covid-19. It was hypothesized that there will be excellent or very high reliability in regards to selected Circumference measurements of Right and Left. The major findings were Reliability of Circumference Measurement to measure calf, forearm, hand(palm), thigh, upper arm, wrist, ankle of right side are found to be reliable. Reliability of Circumference measurement to measure calf, forearm, hand(palm), thigh, upper arm, wrist, ankle of left side are found to be reliable. Reliability of Circumference measurement to measure Chest, Hip, Waist , Neck are found to be reliable.
