Cricket is a game that requires muscular strength. Cricket is such a seemingly gentle pursuit that the notion of strength training and exercises would seem to have a limited application. The present study is an attempt to investigate the relationship of selected anthropometric variables and the abdominal strength of male pace and spin bowlers. To solve the purpose of the study 100 male cricket bowlers (50spin bowlers & 50 pace bowlers) of Himachal Pradesh were taken as the sample. The anthropometric variables selected for the study were Height, Weight, Total arm length, Upper arm length, Forearm length, Hand length, Hand breadth, Upper arm circumference , Forearm circumference & Abdominal strength. The abdominal strength was measured by using bent knee sit-ups test taken from AAPHERED youth fitness battery. Anthropometric measurement was used to assess anthropometric variables. The data was analyses by using SPSS. The statistical tools used for the study were mean, SD, Correlation of Co-efficient. The results have shown significant relationship between the above said variables.
