Abstract:
The curl-up test is a widely used measure of abdominal endurance, commonly applied in fitness assessments and sports training. This study examines the probable anthropometric factors that may influence performance in the curl-up test among 30 football players (both male and female) from the Pro Football Academy in Rohtak, Haryana. Anthropometric parameters such as height, weight, body fat percentage, and limb length were measured and analyzed for their correlation with curl-up test performance. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the significance of these anthropometric variables in predicting endurance levels. The results suggest that specific anthropometric traits, such as core muscle mass and fat distribution, significantly impact curl-up test scores. The findings provide valuable insights for coaches and trainers to tailor fitness programs to optimize core endurance performance among football players.
