RELATIONSHIP OF SELECTED ANTHROPOMETRIC & PHYSICAL FITNESS VARIABLES WITH THE VOLLEYBALL PLAYING PERFORMANCE

Dr. Sameer Kumar Yadav

Abstract


The present study was undertaken to find out the significant relationship of selected anthropometric variable
& physical fitness variables with the volleyball playing performance. 18 male volleyball players from
SAI training centre, Kurukshetra were selected as a subject for the present study with age range between 15 to 20
years. The following anthropometric variables i.e. Height, Weight, Sitting height, Hand Span, Arm length, Leg length
and physical fitness variables i.e. Speed, vertical jump, sit and reach and 1500 m run variables were selected for the
testing the hypothesis. The playing performance was analyzed by four point rating scale through subjective observation
of expert. Pearson’s Product Moment correlation test was employed for the present study and the level of significance
was set at 0.05. The statistical test was computed by using standard statistical package SPSS 17. Analysis of the results
indicated that only Height from the anthropometric variables and Speed from the physical fitness variables were shown
the significant relationship with the volleyball playing performance.
