Abstract: In football, players get a split second through their quick reaction to either kick or defend the ball. So, reaction time is important aspect of football. Agility is important for competitive sports such as football. Our study aims to evaluate the effect of reaction ball training on lower limb reaction time and agility in state level football players. This experimental study was conducted on male football players practicing at state level in Navi Mumbai for duration of 6weeksA total of 46male football players were included in this study and were divided in two groups of 23 each. Lower limb reaction time was assessed using validated reaction time apparatus and agility was tested using T-test of agility. Both lower limb reaction time and agility were significantly improved (<.005) in reaction ball training group followed by conventional group after 6 weeks of training. Hence the above study showed that reaction ball training improved lower limb reaction time and agility in state level football players..

Abstract: An empirical analysis was conducted to study the proposed objectives. Both secondary and primary data was used. Primary data was collected through a questionnaire. About 200 corona virus observation patients are admitted from Periyar University special corona observation hospital. A mean of 3.8 out of 5 was observed on various variables which attribute to health illness in their life like anxiety, breathing problems, pounding heart, irritability etc. Modern medical care and health systems are being tested to the hilt for effective management of COVID- 19. However, there are several gaps. We must remember the basic principle in medicine that "prevention is better than cure" people are over stressed by the compulsions of social distancing and physical barrier methods. Yoga as an add-on therapy may support patients of COVID-19 by improving the quality of standard care. Yoga and meditation have a potential role to engage the community in creating a more positive health environment. Admittedly, there is need for more research. It is high time to embrace integration with an open mind.

Abstract: Background: Despite numerous initiatives by the Malaysian government (e.g. retraining of non-PE majors, One Student One Sport Policy, continuous improvement of PE curriculum) aimed at improving the delivery and quality of physical education (PE) in primary schools, many remaining problems have been highlighted (e.g. unqualified PE teachers, inadequate facilities, lack of in-house staff training). In Malaysia, it is a common knowledge that the head of school (school principal) plays a pivotal role in the implementation of effective and quality PE programme. However, the role has not been examined adequately and thus the assessment of the perception of PE teachers on the barriers to the provision of PE has become important. Materials and Methods: In this survey, a total of 1276 teachers (Male=49.8%, Female=50.2%) from 248 schools were randomly surveyed using questionnaires....
