Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the anthropometrical measures and its correlation with the performance of Water Polo players. To collect the Data, subjects were selected from different Universities who played at National level Water Polo tournaments. Hundred Water Polo players were selected as the subjects of the study. The subjects were selected on simple random sampling method. Obtained data was statistically analysed by using descriptive and differential analyses. Mean and Standard Deviation were calculated for descriptive analysis and Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation was used for deferential analysis. Proposed Hypothesis was tested at the level of significance in 0.05. It was observed that the anthropometrical parameters viz. Shoulder-girth, sitting height, & Chest circumference shown very high relationship in positive significance. Wherein Calf circumference & standing height shown substantial relationship and biceps circumference shown slight relationship. On the contrary, though body weight shown slight relationship but was in negative significance. Thereby, it was concluded that Water Polo sports need special type of anthropometrical measures at its variability. Further, the parameter with optimal strengthen capacity viz. Shoulder Girth, Sitting Height, Chest Circumference, Calf Circumference and Standing Height contributed to enhance the performance of Water Polo players accordingly.
