Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine the body composition and psychomotor variables between under-19 schools and inter college basketball players. 100 Basketball players were selected as subjects (50 under-19 school players and 50 inter college players). The age of subjects ranged between 17 to 25 years. Body composition variables (body fat% & visceral fat) and psychomotor variables (speed & agility) were selected for this study. Body composition monitor with scale HBF- 361 was used to measure body fat% and visceral fat and stop watches, track, marking powder, measuring tape, two wooden blocks were used for measuring speed & agility. The results showed that there were significant differences between both the groups i.e. under-19 school and inter college basketball players for their body composition and psychomotor variables.

Keywords: Body composition, Psychomotor, Body Fat, Visceral Fat, Speed, Agility.
