Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the anthropometric analysis of body symmetry among right-handed badminton players at National Sports University, Manipur, India, to determine whether difference exist between the dominant and non-dominant side in anthropometric measurements. The research included a sample of twenty (N=20) male right-handed badminton players, aged between 20 and 25 years, randomly selected from National Sports University, Manipur. Anthropometric data were collected from each participant, focusing on two length measurements and two girth measurements on both the dominant and Non-dominant side. Length measurements included full arm length (from the acromiale process to the dactylion) and full leg length (from the trochanterion to the Tibiale Mediale Sphyrion Tibiale). Girth measurements included wrist girth of both hands (radio carpal joint) for ankle girth of both legs (Talocrural ankle joint), measured using Anthro Flex Diameter Tape (6mm × 2m NA305). Independent t-test were employed to determine the mean differences between the variables. The results of the study revealed that there were no significant differences exist between the dominant and non-dominant side in these anthropometric measurements among the right-handed badminton players at National Sports University, Manipur.
