Abstract

Background: The relationship between anthropometric indices can be extremely important in the performance of a variety of sports. This information can be helpful to coaches in planning training sessions and making sure their athletes are at their highest level of performance.

Aim: The main aim of the present investigation was to establish the relationship between anthropometric indices of All India inter-university level male netball players.

Sample: A total of one hundred and eighty four male Netball players were selected randomly during All India Inter-university netball championships (M/W) for the present investigation.

Variables: Anthropometric indices assessments included height, weight, BMI, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference(HC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and medial upper arm circumference (MUAC).

Statistical Techniques: To analyse the collected data, Mean, SD, percentage and Pearson Moment Correlation coefficient were computed. BMI was calculated as the ratio of body weight to the square of height (kg/m2), WHR as the ratio of waist to hip circumference and WHtR as the ratio of waist circumference to height.

Results: The results of the study revealed that the male netball players of India were found to have normal values in all the anthropometric and physiological indices. The obesity symptoms were not observed among them. Significant positive correlations were observed between anthropometric and physiological indices among them.

Conclusion: All the selected anthropometric indices of Indian male netball players were found to be correlated together. They were also found healthy and free from cardio-vascular diseases.
