<div><p><em>The aim of this study is to identify the Anthropometric and profiles of sub-Junior National level Boxers and also to find out the relationship of Anthropometric profiles and psychomotor abilities of the sub-Junior National level Boxers.</em><em> </em><em>A total 22 female Boxers (11 medalists and 11 non-medalists) age range between 12<sup>th</sup> to 16<sup>th</sup> years will be select from SAI, SAG, Imphal centers. Selected Anthropometric variables (Body composition) will be taken on each Boxer. Total Psychomotor ability scores (Speed, Agility, Differentiation, Orientation, Balance, Rhythm Ability) will be taken. For interpretation of data a comparative analysis of the selected variable, the “t” test was applied. The data of both groups were collected separately for all the variables. Statistic such as mean and standard deviation was computed. The level of significance was set at 0.05. It was found that in BMI, BMR do not have significant deference between the Manipur and West Bengal female Boxers and significant deference was found on Speed, Agility, Differentiation, Orientation, Balance, Rhythm Ability.</em></p></div>

This study addresses the relationship of disability with principal lifetime occupation in the elderly. Daily function, cognitive, and physical health variables were assessed in an Italian population of 524 community-dwelling elders aged seventy and over. Farmers had 1.4 (95% C.I.: 0.6 to 2.2) instrumental daily functions lost higher than white-collar workers. Adjustment for age, education, and financial dissatisfaction with multiple linear regression analysis decreased the difference to a still significant figure of 0.9 (95% C.I.: 0.1 to 1.7). On the contrary, adjustment only for cognitive status resulted in complete disappearance of the association [0.2 functions lost (95% C.I.: −0.5 to 0.9)]. The data indicate that greater disability in the most disadvantaged occupational groups may be due to poorer cognition.

The relationship between anthropometric parameters and the level of development of motor abilities of school students is a scientifically important and practically important topic. Using knowledge of physical development indicators it is possible to predict the success of the development of motor skills. These data can be used in the sports selection and building an effective system of physical education in secondary school. We measure the anthropometric parameters and test motor abilities of 160 school students of the city of Tambov at the age of 15. We conduct a correlation and regression analysis of the relationship of individual anthropometric characteristics (body length and weight, chest circumference and chest excursion) and motor abilities (speed, speed-strength, strength, coordination, general endurance and flexibility). As among boys, and among girls we reveal a direct distinctive and statistically significant correlation between body length and speed and coordinating abilities, as well as general endurance. Body weight of school students did not have a pronounced and statistically significant relationship with motor abilities. The circumference of the chest and excursion of the chest in young men had a pronounced, statistically significant relationship with the level of development of all the analyzed motor is capable of power. In girls the correlation was either not sufficiently, or had a different direction that indicates the absence interdependence. The obtained data allow to build a targeted strategy of development of motor abilities of adolescents on the lessons of physical culture at comprehensive school. The results of the study can be used by coaches in sports clubs for sports selection and sports orientation.
