Comparative analysis of anthropometric profiles among sprinters, middle distance and long distance runners
Author(s): Kapil Dev Dhunna and Pardeep Kumar
Abstract:
`The study aimed to evaluate the anthropometric characteristics of sprinters, middle-distance runners, and long-distance runners, involving a total of 180 participants (60 in each group) selected from various stadiums in the Delhi region. Anthropometric measurements were taken following appropriate procedures. The data analysis encompassed descriptive statistics and an analysis of variance (F-Test). Significance was determined by applying the least significant difference (Post-hoc Test) when the F-ratio was significant. The results of the Analysis of Variance (F-Test) indicated that thigh circumference and calf circumference exhibited statistically significant differences at the 0.05 significance level among the anthropometric variables. However and body mass index did not show statistically significant differences.
