A Comparative Study of Physical Fitness and Physiological Fitness Components of Volleyball and Kabaddi Players of Srinagar City

Abstract

Present study is an inspiration to do something for the college going students. The newlinesample of the study was purposive sampling technique select from various colleges newlinefrom Srinagar city. In this study, eight variables were investigated viz. newlineCardiovascular Endurance, muscular Endurance, flexibility, breath holding newlinecapacity, pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Total 240 newlinesubjects of age between 18 to 26 years were selected. For the purpose of analyzing newlinedata, Mean, Standard Deviation, and T test was applied and the level of newlinesignificant was set up at 0.05 level. Mean and S.D and t-ratio of volleyball newlineandKabbadi in relation to cardiovascular endurance (34.18#38.81 and newline4.22#4.87) t value 7.87, muscular endurance (32.81#32.68 and 0.24#1.79) newlinet value 0.57, flexibility (5.68#5.69 and 2.66#2.60) t value 0.02, breath newlineholding capacity (0.92#0.78 and 0.41#0.38) t value 0.051, pulse rate (69.52# newline68.99 and 4.92#4.68) t value 0.85, systolic blood pressure (121.12#121.15 and newline7.27#8.34) t value 0.029, diastolic blood pressure (67.86#68.62 and newline0.83#0.94) t value 0.60. The researcher found no significant difference in newlinemuscular endurance, flexibility, breath holding capacity (inspiration), pulse newlinerate, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) between volleyball and newlineKabbadi players, so the hypothesis given related to them are rejected. newlineWhile as, the researcher also found significant difference in cardiovascular newlineendurance between volleyball and Kabbadi players, so the hypothesis given newlineis accepted. newline
