About the Book
Every community has a history of
games and sports in the form of indigenous nature. In the earlier days, sports
were associated with human culture and it was a part of religious festivals.
Games and sports has now been given a high status as it concerns about physical
fitness, personal prestige as well as owing to various national and
international competitions and the organisation of Olympic Games. The human
physical structure or physique and its role in sports performance is a matter
of importance. The realisation of the importance of the subject of
Anthropometry, which is the sub-branch of Physical anthropology, perhaps grew
considerably during the last a few decades. With the applied knowledge of this
subject in the field of games and sports, we can assess the various physical
structures of the athletes of various sports events.
The present book entitled
Anthropometry of the Meitei Women Athletes of Manipur deals with the various
physical structures of the Meitei women athletes of 7 (seven) sports events of
hockey, football, weight lifting, running, throwing, cycling and gymnastics.
