This study was planned to compare the anthropometric parameters between athlete and non-athlete female students.Subjects and methods:The study population consisted of 132 female students. Of these, 66 were athletes and 66 were non-athletes. Weight and height of each participant were taken by standardized procedure. BMI of each subject was calculated using WHO criteria.Results:Results of the study showed that BMI was significantly low in athletes as compared to non-athletes (p-value˂0.05). Height of athletic students was significantly more than non-athletic students while weight was non-significantly different between two groups. Regarding groups of BMI, more students were over-weight and obese in non-athletic groups compared to athletic group.Conclusion:It was concluded that weight and BMI arelower in athlete than non-athlete students.
