Author(s): Dr. Manohar Lal
Abstract:The present study was conducted to compare the body composition and emotional intelligence between high achievers (n=8) and low achievers (n=15) 100 m hurdlers of All India inter-university. The body composition characteristics were measured using a body composition monitor with a scale called the HBF-361. The emotional intelligence scale created by Hyde, Pethe, and Dhar was used to evaluate emotional intelligence. An Independent ‘t-test was applied to determine the significance of the difference between the means score. The results revealed that high achievers female hurdlers have shown significantly higher skeletal muscle mass and emotional intelligence and lesser body fat percentage and visceral fat in comparison to low achievers 100 m hurdlers. However, an insignificant difference was also observed between high-achiever hurdlers and low-achiever hurdlers in the variables of body mass index and basal metabolic rate.
