Volume : II, Issue : II, March - 2012 COMPARISON OF ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS AMONG ALL INDIA INTER-UNIVERSITY SPRINTERS R. PRABU and K. SEKARBABU DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The purpose of the study was to determine the differences on the dependent variables such as
Standing height, Sitting height, Upper leg length, Lower leg length among the categorical variables of 100m,
200m and 400m sprinters. For the purpose of this study, subjects were selected from the 72th All India Inter-
University Athletic Championship held at the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in Mangalore from
17th to 21st December, 2011. In this athletic championship 1257 male athletes of 151 universities were
participated. Out of these athletes, all the 47 male sprinters who have qualified for the semi-finals and finals
of 100m, 200m and 400m were selected as subjects. Thus, the present study comprised of 16 sprinters from
100m, 13 sprinters from 200m and 18 sprinters from 400m respectively. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : R. PRABU and K. SEKARBABU, (2012).
