“…Flexibility is an important parameter in fitness profile not only in athletes but also among young generation [2][3][4]. In this present study significantly higher (p<0.05) values of flexibility score was noted in male university student group (24.13 ± 4.57 cm) than their female counterparts (21.94 ± 4.16 cm).…”

“…Now a days, a turn down in physical activity among college students has been observed [1]. Regular physical activity plays a key role to maintain healthy lifestyle in all generation of population [1,2]. Decreased physical activity is associated with decreased values in different fitness profile parameters, viz., lungs volumes, flexibility, anaerobic capacity, muscle mass, etc., and simultaneously it increases the risks of several health problems [3].…”

“…Fitness profile parameters, e.g., push-up test, flexibility, agility, anaerobic capacity, etc., are also used as good predictors of fitness status not only in athletes but also in physically demanding professionals, such as fire fighters, military personnel, policemen as well as in sedentary people as a work-assessment tools [2,4,7].…”

Majority of college and university students do not participate in moderate or vigorous physical activity in daily life and this causes deterioration of physical fitness. Several sex differences in fitness profile parameters among college students were noted in different populations. But data of motor fitness parameters in University students are lacking, especially in Indian context. The present study was aimed to provide gender specific motor fitness reference standards among Indian University students from Kolkata. 82 non-smoker male (n=41) and female (n=41) university students belonging to the age group of 20-26 years and similar socioeconomic background were recruited in the study. Motor fitness parameters (agility, vertical jump test, push up test, flexibility, hand grip strength) and anaerobic capacity were measured by standard methods. Motor fitness parameters (agility, vertical jump test, push up test, flexibility, hand grip strength) and anaerobic capacity were significantly higher in male students than their female counterparts. Present data will also serve as a national standard data of motor fitness parameters of university students. This would be of further help to fitness instructors towards implementation of better fitness or exercise regime in different populations to improve physical fitness and for preventing injuries by increasing muscles' flexibility especially in case of females.

“…It's a variable-effort sport. There are longer or shorter intervals in between the continuous bursts of maximum or submaximum intensity during the competition (Drapsin et al,2009). Judokas' fitness levels are assessed with the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT), it helps to measure their level of effort tolerance.…”

Introduction: Anthropometric Aspects and Body composition are the crucial factors in explaining human physical status. Anthropometric advantage, a non-modifiable factor, significantly contributed to athletes' success in sports. The present study was studied to find out the relationship between the Kinanthopometric profiles and performance level of National-level male Judo players from Tamil Nadu, India. Method: 30 male Judo players were measured for their anthropometric parameters. Height, weight, circumferences, and skinfold thickness at various sites were measured. Body density was calculated, and body fat % was determined using Siri's Equation. A special Judo fitness test involved throwing partners using the ippon-seoi-nage technique in three periods with heart rate checks, and an index was calculated based on total throws and heart rate values. Results: An average height of 158.1 (± 8.5) cm was observed in the present study whereas that of weight was 63.7 (± 7.3) kg. Judo players were categorized into Endomorphic (30%), Mesomorphic (36.7 %) and Ectomorphic (33.4 %) body type. Mesomorphic players showed good performance, Ectomorphic players showed average performance, and Endomorphic players displayed poor performance when performances were analyzed using the Special Judo Fitness Test. This underscored a potential link between body type and Judo performance. Conclusion: The study concluded that body composition has a high impact on physical fitness and sports performance.

The aim of the work was to determine the connection between morphological characteristics and the effectiveness of the throwing technique by kicking the legs from behind from the program of Special Physical Education (SPE). The sample of respondents consisted of 84 students (male), first year of the Faculty of Security Sciences from Banja Luka. The variable sample was composed of 17 tests for the evaluation of morphological characteristics, which were the independent variables and the dependent variable OSOTOG, which was the average grade of the performance of the kicking technique from the SPE program. The regression analysis did not establish a statistically significant connection between the efficiency of performing the throwing technique by striking the landing leg from behind and the selected set of predictor variables for the assessment of morphological characteristics. Only the elbow diameter variable (ADIJLA) gave a statistically significant contribution to the explanation of the criteria variable OSOTOG. Based on the value of the Beta coefficients, we can see that the variables: body weight (ATETJ) and leg length (ADUZNO) have significant positive partial correlations with the criterion variable, while negative correlations were achieved by the variables: elbow diameter (ADIJLA), body height (AVISTJ) and length hands (ADUZRU). The obtained results could be used in terms of improving the quality of the performance of certain program contents of the SPE, when choosing the appropriate technique within the motor program when solving certain problem situations from the SPE program. Keywords: students, interconnection, morphological characteristics, throwing by kicking out the leg from behind
