These differences may well be due to the structural differences noted in Table I. The &dquo;squatting&dquo; populations of India are not to be considered a part of the populations in this paper because their knees are different in terms of anatomical structure, apparently produced from early and long squatting action.8 Over the last few years, in discussion with Americans involved in the activities of Kung Fu, Karate, Judo and Aikido, it has been noted that there has been a general concern related to stress factors and injuryof the knee. Among skilled practitioners of Judo9 in this country there is a high incidence of knee injury while it is reported to be a minor problem in Asiatic competitors.&dquo; American instructors of Kung Fu have reported a high incidence of knee stress in those participating in the activity.

Beyond the age of 11-13 years, the girls’ performance leveled off while the boys’ performance continued to improve, thus creating an ever increasing gap with increasing age. A recent unpublished study completed in our laboratory illustrated a unique phenomenon for the softball throw, when thrown with the nondominant arm, for boys and girls aged 3-22 years. Results for the dominant arm agreed with those presented by Espenschade,2 i.e., the boys throwing the ball approximately twice the distance as thrown by the girls at each age. When the factors of practice and experience were removed by using the nondominant arm, the results were identical for the two sexes up to the age of 10-12 years. Are social and cultural restrictions confounding these male-female comparisons ?

This study investigated whether football coaches stereotype players according to their various positions and attempted to determine the profile, magnitude and consistency of such stereotyping on both personality traits and motor skill dimensions. This study also investigated the relationship between such stereotypes and the players' scores on psychological tests. On two separate occasions, each of six coaches rated thirteen football positions as to their players' motor skill and personality characteristics. Coaches were instructed to base their ratings on their actual experiences with the players of each position throughout their coaching careers. MMPI-derived scales and the 16 PF test were administered to 251 players. Test-retest correlation coefficients indicate that the six coaches were reliably stable in their stereotypes of the players. Coefficients of concordance indicate significant agreement among the coaches on the stereotypes. Only the 16 PF scores yielded a personality picture consistent with the coaches' stereotypes.
