Abstract
The study was administered to determine sports with the help of classification of body using anthropometric measurement and body composition. Aim:- To study the classification of body with help of anthropometric measurement and body composition to determine sports. Body classification helps us to analyze various sports as per the physical and physiological parameters of human body. The predetermined age to classify body structure was 8 to 10 years. The study was carried on 100 boys and 100 girls from Mumbai suburban district, Maharashtra. The average age of the boys was 8.8 years whereas the average age of girls was 8.6 years. The assessment was done with the help of upper body circumference(UBC),lower body circumference and body fat percentage using skin fold caliper. The design of the study was a survey method and sample selected through purposive sampling method. The result was analyzed with the help of correlation and mean score. The result indicated that the waist –hip ratio of girls was higher at 0.58% as compared to boys WHR at 0.43. The result also indicated the fat percentage was lower at 0.31% in girls as compared to boy’s fat percentage at 0.39. The result also indicated that the ratio of mesomorph in girls was higher at 0.53 as compared to boys at 0.49. It also indicated that the ratio of Endomorph was higher in boys at 0.51 as compared to girls at 0.23.  The study concluded that the muscle weight and muscle percentage was higher in boys at 0.59 as compare to girls at 0.42. The study concluded that the higher muscle weight and skeletal muscle percentage indicated adaptation to various sports training and skills of sports will lead to optimal performance. The study concluded that determination of physical and physiological classification leads to appropriate selection sports as per body classification methods helps in reducing postural injuries and inadequate or delayed responses to sports or training methods.
