Abstract
The purpose of the study was to prepare the profile of selected anthropometric variables of 20 athletes who had competed at the national level comprised only male players from Madhya Pradesh who were between the ages of 18 and 25 and who were residents of Madhya Pradesh. Each of these athletes was a native of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. All the anthropometric measurements were measured to the 1/10th of the centimeter. Non-stretchable measuring tape were used to measure the length. Results of the study showed that in anthropometric variables sitting height was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Leg length was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Shoulder width was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Upper arm circumference was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Forearm circumference was medium in -56 kg to -60 kg. Chest circumference was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Thigh circumference lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Calf circumference lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg.
 Thus, height and skinfold thickness are mostly differentiated between heavier and lighter groups, but bone breadths and circumferences are the primary differentiators between weight categories.
