Abstract

In this article the author has tried to observe the comparative changes on lower and upper limb length of 12- 16 years boys. The subjects of this study were from the school Naihati Narendra Vidyaniketan, 24 Parganas (N), WB,India. Thirty male students for each age group i.e, one hundred and fifty students for five age categories were selected randomly.The criteria measured in this investigation were height, weight, lower limb length and upper limb length. The data were analyzed by using Analysis of Variance to observe significant differences among the five age categories. Significant results were found among all parameters.
