Abstract

The aimed of this study was to compare the anthropometric characteristics and physical fitness components between elite and junior team canoe polo in Malaysia. Participants were 20 elite paddlers and 20 junior paddlers of Johor and Wilayah Persekutuan state (n=40; male: 20 and female: 20). Participants underwent an anthropometric measurement (height, body mass, body mass index, body fat, skeletal muscles mass, visceral fat and arm span) and physical fitness test (push up, sit up, back extension, plank and 1.6km). The result of this study shows that there is a significant difference between elite and junior in body mass (t=2.582, 0.015, p
