| Summary: | Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate
the relationship between anthropometric, sprint and agility performance in soccer
players. Descriptive cross-sectional study was employed on purposely selected 25 male soccer players (13) from Sidama
Coffee (12) from Hawassa Town soccer clubs in southern part of Ethiopian premier
league male soccer players. To serve this purpose basic anthropometric (Body
mass, height, body mass index) and girths (upper arm, waist, thigh and calf
circumference) were included.
Additionally 30 meter speed test and Illinois agility test were measured
on each subject. The obtained quantitative
data was analyzed by One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to examine the
difference in performance between playing position and Pearson correlation (p lt;0.05, 0.01) was used to see the
relationship between all measured variable with the help of SPSS version 20.00 software. The
result of the study revealed that strikers were the heaviest and tallest in
contrasts with defenders and midfielders. They also had the largest upper arm,
waist, thigh and calf circumference. But these differences were not statistically
significant. Body mass was significantly correlated in body mass index(r=.676)
in midfielder and (r=.947) in striker playing position. Arm circumference was
significantly correlated with waist (r=.642) and thigh circumference (r=.840)
in midfield positional players. Similarly in striker position arm circumference
was highly correlated with thigh circumference (r=.911). There are no
significant correlation with positional differences in speed performance with
basic and girth anthropometric variable except arm circumference (r=-.666) in
midfielder position. Similarly agility was negatively correlated with all
measured anthropometric variable in all playing position and statically no
significant difference were observed.
Key words: Girth anthropometric, speed
