Association of Selected Anthropometric Determinants with Agility among Collegiate Athletes

Agility is the ability of an individual to suddenly change the direction quickly and accurately, and the anthropometric determinants include height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), % of body fat etc. The purpose of the present research study was to determine any association between selected anthropometric determinants and agility. A total of 100 collegiate athletes voluntarily participated in this study. The mean age (Years), height (CM) and weight (KG) of participants were 20.44, 170.37 and 61.75 respectively. The height and weight of individuals are being measured using standard methods and the % of body fat was calculated by using the formula. The agility was measured by Illinois agility test. Pearson's correlation was applied to analyze the association, and statistical insignificant association found between agility and other anthropometric determinants. The finding of the present study suggests that there is no association between agility and different anthropometric determinants
