Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine how body composition, emotional intelligence, and physiological traits relate to the performance of female high jumpers in competition. The sample size consists of 23 high jumpers consisting of high-performing (n=8) and low-performing (n=15) who participated in the All-India inter-university event. To ascertain the link between body composition, emotional intelligence, and physiological traits and competition performance, the study utilized the product-moment coefficient of correlation method. Analysis results indicated a significant positive correlation between competition performance and vital capacity and vo2 max among high jumpers. Additionally, a significant negative correlation was observed between competition performance and pulse rate. The performance of female high jumpers has not shown any significant relationship with variables like body fat percentage, body mass index, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat, basal metabolic rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.
