Abstract :

The present study was compared anthropometric (age, height, weight, leg length, arm length) and motor fitness characteristics (speed, agility, leg explosive strength. endurance, flexibility) of six (Goa, Kerala, West Bengal, Manipur, Punjab and Maharashtra) state footballers in India. Ninety male soccer players were voluntarily participated in this study. Data analysis was performed by SPSS: 11.0 version. Mean, standard deviation, and one way ANOVA were computed to identify significant anthropometric and motor fitness differences between different state footballers in India. Scheffe’s F test was also performed for multiple comparisons between different state footballers. The findings of this study suggested that there were statistically significant differences of anthropometric and motor fitness characteristics between different state footballers in India.
