ABSTRACT:
A comparative analysis was carried out to study two different playing positions on the basis of selected anthropometric variables for team Handball. For the present study 30 male handball players of District level in Gwalior of age 20 ±5, subject were selected on the basis of purposive sampling. Independent t test was used to compare two different playing positions on the basis of selected functional variables for team handball. For this six variables as anthropometric variables were used to compare the two different positions i.e. height, lower arm length, forearm length, hand length, humerus bicondylar diameter and weight. After applying independent t test to compare playing positions and selected anthropometric variables it was find the value of t statistics for height is 3.066. This t value is significant as its p- value is 0.005 which is less than 0.05. Thus the null hypothesis of equality of population means of two groups is rejected and same as the value of t statistics for weight is 3.204 this t values is significant as its p- values 0.003 which is less than 0.05. Thus the null hypothesis of equality of population means of two groups is Rejected therefore it may be concluded that height and weight of backcourt players and wingers are significantly differ, further height and weight of backcourt player is higher than wing players in team handball.
