This research aimed to establish the relationship between kinanthropometry and motor
fitness, and kho-kho playing abilities. One hundred and forty-five women players were selected from the
students of Pondicherry University during the South Zone kho-kho tournament. Playing ability was
measured with the help of three kho-kho experts; kinanthopometric measurements such as height,
weight, leg length and arm length were measured with the help of the ISAK guideline manual; and
among motor fitness abilities, agility was measured by 40-m shuttle run, leg explosive power by
standing broad jump, flexibility by sit and reach test, and muscular endurance was measured by knee
bent sit–up test. The kho-kho playing ability was assessed by three well-qualified and experienced
experts. There were high correlations existing between playing abilities with Agility (r = 0.63), Explosive
leg Power (r = 0.59), Muscular endurance (r = 0.39)
