Kinanthropometrical and Physiological Characteristics

The purpose of this study was to discriminate the Kinanthropometrical and Physiological characteristics of female jumpers performance and to find out the combined contribution of kinanthropometrical and physiological variables to jumpers performance. In kinanthropometrical variables significant differences were found among the different groups of jumpers in thigh girth and significant correlation between the arm length and leg length with performance. In physiological variables significant differences were found among the different groups of jumpers in anaerobic power and significant correlation between the heart rate and breath holding time with performance. The present study may also prove the contributions to the physical educators and coaches will be able to utilize kinanthropometrical and physiological variables as predicting factors for the future jumpers and training means to bring about desired changes in athlete or to develop these characteristics in the athletes.
