Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the somatotype determinants of the performance potentials (PP) of the Bangladeshi adolescent male athletes. Primary data of size 414 were collected using multi-stage random sampling on PP and different anthropometric variables, and then somatotype components were calculated. Forward stepwise Ridge regression was applied to find out the most important determinants of PP. Satisfying all the test and validity conditions, it was found that endomorphy and mesomorphy variables were the most important determinants of PP of the Bangladeshi adolescent male athletes. The proposed equation can be applied for enhancing the PP of the athletes by the sport authorities in Bangladesh.
