Abstract
In the present study 22 rural athletes of four different states of India have been studied for 23 anthropometric parameters - weight, height, sitting height, six diameters, six circumferences and eight skin and subcutaneous tissue folds. Rural athletes of Punjab and Haryana have been found to be comparable pertaining to all the anthropometric variables. Athletes of Madhya Pradesh show minimum values for most of the variables. The order of best anthropometry is athletes of Punjab and Haryana followed by Assam and Madhya Pradesh. Athletes of MadhyaPradesh are lacking behind in all the parameters except skin and subcutaneous tissue folds as compared to athletes of Assam. Verf.-Referat
