Abstract: The aim of the present investigation was to find out the significant differences of “Anthropometric Measurements”, among different playing positions of university level volleyball players. Measurements were collected (N=163) from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar (N1=57), Punjabi University, Patiala (N2=39), Panjab University, Chandigarh (N3=37) and I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University Jalandhar (N4=30) with reference to playing position of inter-college volleyball players. This study's data analysis procedure was divided into two sections: Section-1: A descriptive analysis was used in the first section to describe the data distribution. Section-2: The hypothesis testing with ANOVA was included in the second section. The data was statistically analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 17 to draw conclusions. In addition, if the f-value was found to be significant, the Scheffe test for multiple comparison methods was used in this study. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
