Purposive and random sampling techniques were employed. The participants in this study were a total 93. Of these, students from grade 5-8, who have a physical disability from seven schools (n= 41). Peers were classmates (n=35), Physical Education Teachers (n=15) and expertise (n=2) from regional and zone education bureaus. Both close and open ended questionnaires, interviews and group discussions were used for data collection. The result showed that there was no uniformity across the schools on the implementation of inclusive physical education. The major identified problems were unavailability of appropriate facilities and equipments, absence of teachers' CPD training on inclusive physical education, the text / teachers guide book not modified or adapted to meet the need of special students, attitudinal barriers. Then based on the findings, possible recommendations were suggested for improvements in implementing inclusive physical education at Bahir Dar Administrative Zone Amhara region and also at the country level.

The study encompassed 42 female premier league volleyball players (age: 25.60 + 6.4 years). The players were categorized on the bases of playing position: including:-setters (n = 5), middle blockers (n = 7), outside-hitters (n = 11), opposite hitters (n = 11), and liberos (n = 8). Anthropometric measurements such as: five basic, six body lengths, six body circumferences, and five skinfolds were assessed. Descriptive statistics and One-Way ANOVA were used to identify the differences among the anthropometric characteristics of the players' at different playing positions. Significant mean differences were separated using the Tukey B a,b mean difference test at P < 0.05.The result revealed that there were significant differences in standing height, sitting height, standing reach height, arm and leg lengths among female volleyball players in different playing positions. However, the differences in weight, BMI, body circumferences, and skinfolds were not significant. Up on the results, it was possible to conclude that players' anthropometry is among the factors that affect success in a game. Considering players' anthropometry seems to be crucial at the time of selection and assigning of players to playing positions.
