ABSTRACT

The importance of proper nutrition and diet to the overall fitness and health of the individual
throughout the life span is well recognized. Thus, a study was structured with the objective of
assessing somatic and biochemical status of one hundred male sports students of UAS and SAI.
Anthropometric measurements were recorded. Dietary status of the subjects was assessed.
Glucose and haemoglobin levels were estimated. Energy balance was calculated by 24 hours
activity pattern. Mean height, weight, MAC, triceps, body mass index, body fat per cent, body fat
(kg), lean body mass was 171.0 cm, 64.91 kg, 26.45 cm, 25.53 mm and 171.26 cm, 64.40 kg,
26.78 cm, 25.41 mm, respectively for UAS and SAI subjects. Ninety nine per cent of the total
subjects had a normal BMI of 18.5 to 25. Two per cent of UAS and 59 per cent of SAI subjects
had normal body fat (19.23). Statistically significant difference at one per cent level was observed
for cereals, pulses, fruits, eggs, milk, sugar respectively. Mean haemoglobin level for UAS subjects
was 14.0 g/dl and SAI was 14.05 g/dl. Mean blood glucose level was 72.7 and 78.5 mg/dl for UAS
and SAI subjects respectively. All the subjects were found to be in positive energy balance. Thus,
it may be concluded that anthropometric standards must be developed gamewise for better
comparisons as currently no standards are available
