Title | : | Relationship of Coordinative Abilities to Playing Ability in Combative Sports |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. Manoj Singh Rana || Dr.Yajuvendra Singh Rajpoot |
Abstract: Physical activity has been a part of the lives of all people. Human evolution started with movement and the development of the homo-sapiens was largely dependent on the action of muscles. It must be conjectured that the primitive physical activity was primarily a survival activity due to the incessant search for food, clothing, shelter or protection from the hostile environment. Secondly, it becomes a means of preparing youth for adult life, as games are taken from life activities, and become a recognized way to improve strength, speed and skill and other qualities necessary for survival. Performance sports aim at high sports performances and for that the physical and psychic capacities of sportsmen are developed to extreme limits. This normally does not happen in other areas of human activity.

Title | : | Longitudinal Skeleton Dimensionality Characteristics of Nigerian Junior Male Handball Players |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Dr. S.M. Adodo || Professor E.O. Agwubike |
Abstract: The aims of this study were to determine the longitudinal skeleton dimensionality (LSD) component of anthropometric features common to junior male handball players; and to analyse the probable variations in LSD features among players in the five positional playing groups of Goalkeeper (GK), Inside back position (IBP), Centre back position (CBP), Pivot position (PV) and Wing position (WP). Standard LSD measurements for body height (cm), arm span (cm), arm, hand and leg lengths (cm) were recorded for a sample of 106 junior (under 18) male handball players that participated in the study mean values in most of the LSD measures for body height (176.16±7.93cm), hand length (21.12±2.85cm), leg length (40.32±2.96cm) and arm span (187.57±10.05cm). The GKs, however, recorded the highest mean values in arm length (32.41±2.46cm), while the CBPs had the lowest recorded mean values in all the LSD measures. When data were analysed for positional differences, the IBP were significantly taller (F=3.02; p<0.02) with longer arm span (F=2.98, p<0.02) than players in all other positional groups. There were no significant differences in arm, hand and leg lengths of the players. The obtained position related difference suggest that the possession of superior body height and arm span are prerequisites for players playing and desirous to play in the inside back position. These findings could provide realistic morphological benchmarks for the selection of potential junior male handball players competing in specific individual positions and positional playing groups.

Title | : | Comparison of Explosive Strength between Football and Volley Ball Players of Jamboni Block |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. Binod Chowdhary || Mr. Anindya Bhowmik || Mr. Nilanjan Mahapatra |
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to compare the Explosive Strength between football and volleyball players. Thirty football & thirty volleyball male players were taken as the subjects for the Study from Jamboni block of Medinipur district. The age group of the subjects was ranged from (16-25) years. To measure Explosive Strength (vertical jump) between football and volley players, Sargent vertical jump test was conducted on the subjects for the present study. The data collected was subjected to descriptive statistic and student "t" test and level of significance was set at 0.05 level. There was significant difference found between football and volleyball players. Football players show having more explosive strength when compared to volleyball players.
Keywords: Football, Volleyball and Explosive Strength.

Title | : | Comparison of Selected Anthropometric and Physical Fitness Variables between Offencive and Defencive Players of Kho-Kho |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. R. Subramanian |
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to compare the selected anthropometric and physical fitness variables between kho-kho chasers and runners. To achieve this purpose of this study, twenty women Kho-Kho players from dept of physical education, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects and their age ranged between 18 to 25 years. Among them, ten chasers and ten runners were selected. The following physical fitness parameters such as speed, agility and cardio respiratory endurance were selected as depended variables for this study. The selected criterion variables such as speed, agility, cardio-respiratory endurance, arm length and leg length were tested by using 50 meters run, shuttle run, 600 mts run, measuring with type respectively. The independent 't' ratio was used to analyse the differences if any between the group. The .05 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance. The results also showed that there was no significant difference between chasers and runners on selected physical fitness and anthropometric variables.
Key Words: Runners (defense), Chasers (offence), Physical Fitness, Anthropometric.

Authors | : | Jayasudha Katralli || Shivaprasad S Goudar || Veeresh Itagi |
Abstract: Background: Judo is a sport which is characterized by the indirect application of force to defeat an opponent. Physical fitness is the nucleus of sports. In combative games like judo physical fitness plays an important role. Objective: To assess the physical fitness index in Indian Judokas by Harvard step test and also to compare fitness with sedentary controls. Method: 31 Judo players divided into two groups depending on duration of training and age and sex matched 31 controls were the participants in this study. Height, weight and BMI were calculated. Physical fitness index was calculated using Harvard step test. Students unpaired't' test, where significance of the p value was < 0.05 was used to compare two groups and strength of association between performance (number of throws) in special judo fitness test (SJFT) and physical fitness index ( PFI) Karl Pearsons correlation coefficient was calculated.
