dc.description.abstractAbstract The purpose of this research work was to find out the significant difference between anthropometric and physiological characteristics of Nigeria national power athlete which are peculiar to combat sport and field throwers. Stratified random sampling techniques were used to select judo, taekwondo, shot pui and javelin throwers in Nigeria. Standardized instrument were used to collect the following data for analysis Physical characteristics such as age, height and weight. The anthropometric variables of body girths such as thigh, mid-thigh, hip, wrist, relaxed. contracted, waist circumference and physiological parameters such as speed, leg explosive power, resting heart rate, push up, sit up, power test and anaerobic in sixty seconds (Imin). The descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation (SD) was used to describe the data collected and inferential statistics of ANOVA was used to compite the four athletes and t-test to test the two groups that is combat and throwers at o.05 level of significant and Scheffepost hoe was used to establish differences among the four sports. It was found that there were significant differences among the body circumference except few where significant difference does not occur. It was also found that there were no significant differences among the physiological. cardio-respiratory fitness of the four sports. It was found amongst others that Shotputters are more different to judokas, Taekwondo and Javelin in height, weight and body girths respectively. Therefore, it was recommended amongst others that trainers and coaches should consider the Anthropometric, Physiological and body composition necessary for each game in terms of selection of athlete.
