Relationship of selected anthropometric and biomechanical variable to the inter university athlete of track and field event
Author(s): Dr. Praveen Kumar
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of selected anthropometric and biomechanical variables to the performance in race walking. The subjects were 5 male race walkers of All India Inter University level athletes with their age ranging between 18-25 years.
The sequential photography technique was employed to record the race walking technique. A motor drives Nikon Model EM camera was used. The subjects were photographed at the two phase i.e. single support and double support in sagittal plane. The anthropometric measurement of each subjects were taken by using an anthropometric kit selected anthropometric measurement and biomechanical variables were weight, height, sitting height, leg length and arm length, Ankle(R), Ankle (L), Knee (R), Knee (L), Hip (R), hip (L) Shoulder (R), Shoulder (L), Elbow (R), Elbow (R), Wrist (R), Wrist (L), Height of C.G. respectively.
Product moment correlation was calculated between the selected anthropometric and biomechanical variables with the performance of race walking at 0.05 level of significant.
