“…The specific anthropometric and fitness characteristics such as stature, body mass, physical strengths, dash sprint and jumping are associated with the good performance of players (Ackland, Ong, Kerr, & Ridge, 2003;Mohamed, et al, 2009;Koley, 2011). It was concluded the stronger anthropometric and fitness characteristics exhibit good performance during domestic and international competitions (Stuelcken, Pyne, & Sinclair, 2007;Koley, 2011). It is was also reported the longer arms provide mechanical advantages to increase the batting and bowling performance of the cricket players (Aruparayil & Chattopadhyay, 2013).…”

“…Earlier studies have examined the anthropometric measures of district and state cricket players (Koley & Yadav, 2009), district players (Koley, Kumar & Shadagopan, 2012), and university cricket players and sedentary students (Koley, 2011). It was reported that South African university cricketers were superior in their physical characteristics than sedentary subjects (Stretch & Buys, 1991).…”

The aim of this study was to analysis the anthropometry and fitness of the under-16 regional and school cricket players. Twenty participants were selected from the Bahawalpur regional cricket team and (n = 20) from school teams. Selected variables were height, weight, skinfolds, girths, bone lengths, breadths, 30-m race, set-ups, hand grip strength, flexibility, standing broad jump, and agility. the anthropometric and physical fitness of regional and school cricket players was compared by applying Independent t-test. The results disclosed that the regional cricket players were significantly higher in arm span, arm length, and leg lengths, shoulder, elbow and knee breadths. The regional cricketers were faster in 30 m sprints, hand grip strength, setups, flexibility, and standing broad jump than school players. It was concluded the under-16 regional players were superior in anthropometric and physical fitness because they were selected from the larger population and regular in training program than school cricketers.

“…It was earlier reported that handgrip strength had strong correlations with various anthropometric characteristics ( Bamaç, B., Colak, T., Özbek, A., Yenigün, N., Çolak, S., & Bamaç, Y, 2003;Koley, Singh & Kaur, 2010;Koley & Kaur, 2011).…”

Abstract:The aim of the research was to examine the morphological-motor status of top quality sitting volleyball players. The research includes appropriate sample of 63 sitting volleyball players from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The sample includes players from the first league clubs from the area of Tuzla Canton and the competitors of the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina in sitting volleyball so that the sample of examinees is comprised of two sub-samples as follows: 22 competitors of national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina in sitting volleyball, 41 competitor from five first league teams in sitting volleyball. The players of sitting volleyball included in this research are persons with physical disabilities most often caused by warfare. For the aim of research of anthropological space, 26 controlled variables were used and which are: 11 variables for assessment of motor characteristics and 15 variables for assessment of morphological characteristics of examinees. Anthropometric measurements were executed by standard instruments per methodology which International Biological Program recommends. For the aim of ascertaining connection between the sets of morphological and basic-motor variables, a canonical correlation analysis was done. For the aim of ascertaining differences between the examined groups, as well as for ascertaining the importance of significance of contribution of applied variables in their classification, a method of multi-variance analysis was applied. On basis of achieved research results, it can be concluded that morphological-motor relation of sitting volleyball players corresponds to morphologicalmotor relation to standing up volleyball.

“…Many scientist have done a research on anthropometric parameters of cricket players and HGS in them. [4,5] Contemporary sports science is designed to improve the performance of elite players and to discover talents as precisely as possible. Percentage of lean body mass is different in cricket and football.…”

Background: Hand grip strength (HGS) and percentage of lean body mass has been an indicator for determining strength. Aims and Objectives: The purpose of the study was to found out for comparison of percentage of lean body mass in cricket and football player. We also have done a correlation of HGS with percentage of lean body mass in cricket and football players. Material and Methods: Total 30 healthy cricket and football players (15-25 years), from district sports academy, regularly practicing from last 3 years at university level and who do not have any abnormality of the upper arm or any neurological problem, history of fracture of hand were included. Percentage of lean body mass calculated by formula = 100 − Percentage of body fat. Percentage of body fat determined by harpendence caliper. Measurement of HGS with the help of Sahen's hand grip digital dynamometer was done. Mean of three reading was taken as final reading. Unpaired test was applied for the comparison between cricketers and football players for the variables of percentage of lean body mass. Pearson correlation coefficient established a correlation of percentage of lean body mass with HGS. Results: It was also found that statistically there was a highly significant difference observed in percentage of lean body mass between cricket and football players and there was positive correlation observed between HGS with percentage of lean body mass in cricket and football players. Conclusion: Proper training for maintaining percentage of lean body mass and HGS will increase in HGS. It will further lead to better strength and performance in cricket and football activities.
