Dr. R. Arjunan

Abstract :

 The purpose of the study was to find out the somatotypes of college sprinters. The subjects for this study were selected from the Engineering College sprinters who participated in the Tamilnadu Inter–Engineering sports organized and conducted by Alagappa Chettiar Engineering College, Karaikudi. Fifteen college sprinters who were entered to the semifinals heats were utilized. The study was a status study of sprinters with purposive sampling. The investigator utilized Heath–Carter measurement system to assess dependent variables endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph. The obtained scores and the t–test on sprinters in endomorphic, mesomorphic and ectomorphic components indicated sprinters were predominantly mesomorphic in nature. The Sprinters are predominantly muscular; the bones are large and covered with thick muscles and heavily muscled throughout.
