Abstract This study investigated the anthropometric differences among sprinters specializing in 100m, 200m, and 400m events, with a specific focus on waist and hip girth variability. A total of 30 male sprinters (10 from each category, aged 18–25 years) from Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education, Gwalior, were assessed using standardized anthropometric protocols. Waist and hip circumferences were measured with precision tape, and data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD post hoc tests. Results revealed statistically significant differences across groups (p < 0.05), with 200m sprinters exhibiting notably larger waist girths (M = 81.51 cm) and hip circumferences (M = 90.29 cm) compared to both 100m (M = 71.67 cm waist; 89.62 cm hip) and 400m sprinters (M = 68.70 cm waist; 85.49 cm hip). These findings highlight the unique anthropometric profile of 200m sprinters, likely reflecting the combined physiological demands of maximal acceleration and speed endurance. The distinct waist and hip structure may provide biomechanical advantages in maintaining stride power while negotiating curve-to-straight transitions. This study emphasizes the importance of event-specific morphological profiling in sprint performance optimization and talent identification.
