COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SELECTED MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOTOR FITNESS VARIABLES BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE RACE WALKERS
Abstract
The study was planned to compare the male and female race walkers on selected morphological and motor fitness variables. For this purpose total 150 male and female race walkers were selected, including 75 male and 75 female race walkers were taken as the sample. The morphoogical variables which selected for this study were:- body weight, height, BMI, upper arm circumference (relaxed), upper arm circumference(flex), fore arm circumference, hip circumference, thigh circumference and calf circumference.The motor fitness variables which were select for this study i.e muscular leg strength, muscular back strength and cardiovascular endurance. To compare the data t-test was applied to see the significant of mean differences between male and female race walkers. From the finding of this study it was concluded that male and female race walkers were significantly differed in hieght, weight, upper arm circumference (relax), thigh circumference, muscular leg strength, muscular back strength and cardiovascular endurance, as the calculated t values of 9.060, 13.045, 4.768, 6.323, 2.641, 2.110 and 3.645 were greater than the table value of 1.98 required to be significant at .05 level.
