The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of wrestlers was statistical significant negatively correlated with age. The result of the present study shows that BMI of football players was statistical significant positively correlated with weight, hip circumference, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR).The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of football players was statistical significant positively correlated with waist circumference.Conclusion: It was concluded from the results of the present study that body mass index (BMI) of wrestlers and football players was statistical significant positively correlated with weight, hip circumference and waist circumference.
