Significance of anthropometry, kin-anthropometry, kinesiology and physical composition in the emerging prospects of physical education and sports: A study on the anthropology of sports in Nagaland
Author(s): Somnath Chakraborty
Abstract:This research paper explores the critical role of anthropometry, kin-anthropometry, kinesiology, and physical composition in shaping the future of physical education and sports, with a specific focus on the unique context of Nagaland. The study delves into the anthropological dimensions of sports, seeking to understand the diverse physiological and biomechanical factors that influence athletic performance and overall physical well-being.
Beginning with an extensive review of existing literature, the research establishes the theoretical foundations of anthropometry, kin-anthropometry, kinesiology, and physical composition, emphasizing their interconnectedness in the realm of sports science. The paper then transitions to an empirical investigation conducted in Nagaland, employing a multidisciplinary approach to assess the physical attributes and performance markers of athletes within the region.
The findings highlight the significance of tailoring physical education programs and sports training regimens based on the anthropometric and kinesiological profiles of individuals, considering the diverse genetic and environmental factors prevalent in Nagaland. Additionally, the study explores the implications of these factors on talent identification, injury prevention, and the overall development of athletes in the region.
Furthermore, the paper discusses the potential socio-cultural and economic impacts of integrating advanced anthropometric and kinesiological principles into the sports education system in Nagaland. It explores how such an approach can contribute to the holistic development of individuals, fostering a culture of athleticism, health consciousness, and community engagement.
In conclusion, this research advocates for a nuanced understanding of anthropometry, kin-anthropometry, kinesiology, and physical composition as integral components of sports science, especially in the context of Nagaland. The insights gleaned from this study provide a foundation for informed decision-making in the design and implementation of sports programs, offering a pathway towards maximizing the athletic potential of individuals in the region while considering their unique physiological and cultural attributes.
