ABSTRACT

The promotion of physical fitness in youth is an objective of many agencies, institutions and organizations. Growth is a sign of life and all living animals, irrespective of their status in the biological hierarchy, have to grow, starting their life almost from an invisible dot. The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of adiposity to performance among children between ages 13 to 16 years. As many as two hundred and one girls ranging between 13 to 16 years of ages and studying in 7th, 8th, 9th & 10th classes of the Pathanamthitta District who did not have much background in sports participation were selected randomly as subjects. Kraus weber test was used to establish the relationship of adiposity to performance among the children. The analysis of data in the study revealed that an insignificant relationship exist between adiposity and performance in Kraus – Weber Test. Kraus – Weber Test results showed more than half of the subjects (52.24%) failed in the test. ie. fifty percentage of the students had only minimum muscular strength. We hope the study will give the educators an insight to understand the interrelationship of adiposity to performance and will give an additional information about body types.
