The purpose of the study was to determine the significant difference of selected anthropomrtic factor-upper leg length among male and female Kho-Kho players from different districts of Kerala. To realize the purpose of the study two hundreds male and female were selected. The subjects were state participated Kho-Kho players in the state of Kerala.Twenty players in each male and female category were selected from five districts of Kerala like Palakkad, Malappuram, Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur and Kannur in with their age ranged between 10 – 13 years. The standard measuring tape was used for measuring anthropometric factor and was having ISI standards and manufactured by reputed companies and being used in research laboratories. The data collected from the male and female sub junior players in the state of Kerala on upper leg length were statistically analyzed to find out the significant difference if any, by One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The LSD Post-hoc test was used for testing the significant difference if any; among the paired group means. To compare the male and female Kho-Kho players in the state of Kerala independent ‘t’ test was used. The level of significant was set to 0.05.The present study was also to investigate the selected anthropometric factor of male and female Kho-Kho players from different districts of Kerala. Considering the anthropometric factor of the study in the male Kho-Kho players from selected districts of Kerala, it has been found that there is no significant diferance. It has been also found that there is a significant difference in the upper leg length of female Kho-Kho players in the state of Kerala .In light of the study on anthropometric factors of male and female Kho-Kho players from the state of Kerala, it has been found that there is no significant difference in upper leg length on the selected samples.
