Abstract
The present study has been conducted on one hindered thirty-six female kabaddi players and controls with the objectives to find out the difference in physique anthropometric status and body composition. Each subject has been measured anthropometrically by following the technique of Tanner et al. (1969). Somatotype was assessed by using the method of Heath and Carter (1967). The data was treated by applying “t” test It was found that female kabaddi players of above 14 to 7 year of age group possessed sign significantly greater height, body weight, broad chest, lesser waist circumference, lower values of skin folds and greater biacromial breadth as compared to control group. They were more mesomorphic and lesser endomorphic than non kabaddi players. The superior physique of female kabaddi players over the controls is undoubtedly clear from these results that female kabaddi players undergo intense sports training for a longer duration, develop physiological developments resulting finally in some morphological adaptation too.
