Abstract
The present study was undertaken to examine the differences in linear measurements between full back football and hockey players of Panjab University. This study was conducting on 60 football and hockey players with an aim to find out differences in certain linear anthropometric measurements between the fullback football (n=30) and fullback hockey (n=30). The data for the present study were collected in the inter college competition organized by Panjab University. Each player was tested for various anthropometric measurements necessary for estimation of body weight, height, sitting height and selected linear measurements of halfback footballers and hockey players. To analyse the difference in certain anthropometric measurements between two groups of football and hockey players were determined through ‘t’ test. From the findings,,it may be interpreted that fullbacks of hockey game possessed significantly lesser height, total arm length, leg length, upper leg length lower leg length & foot length as compared to halfbacks of football game. Further, the full backs of football game have depicted somewhat higher mean value for height, and lesser value for weight and sitting height in comparison to halfback of hockey game. But none of such mean differences were found to be significant. In case of body weight, sitting height and in linear measurements namely; foot breadth, there existed no significant differences between the fullback of football and hockey games.
