The study was designed to investigate the impact of strength training on selected strength and speed parameters among basketball players. To achieve the purpose 30 subject, age ranged between 18 and 25 years was selected from Bharathidasan University and Anna University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India. The subjects (n=30) were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each. The groups were assigned as experiment group (EG) and control group (CG). The experimental group participate in the in the strength training for a period of six weeks. The subjects of the control group were not participated in any physical activities. The strength training programme was scheduled at 6.30 to 7.30am for three days in week. The post test was conducted for all subjects on strength and speed parameters namely speed, strength, explosive power and muscular endurance. To analyze the data analysis of covariance was used. The result reveals that there was a significant difference on speed, strength, explosive power and muscular endurance of experimental group than control group.

At the time of procuring data, subjects were giving trials at Banaras Hindu University for collecting their physical fitness standard. Data were collected for speed ability with the help of 50 yard dash and One minute angular passing and receiving test was used for measuring high and low achieve male hockey players. To find out significant difference between high and low achiever male hockey player's t-test was applied. The analysis of data revealed insignificant difference between the high and low achieve male hockey players of Banaras Hindu University in relation to Speed Ability.

The purpose of the study is to find out the significant differences on selected physiological and biochemical variables of sub junior, junior and senior athletes. A total of 60 athletes selected for the study, were grouped (n =20) into 3 groups: (i) under subjunior, junior and senior group athletes on age category basis. The physiological variables like resting heart rate and breath holding capacity and hemoglobin and uric acid as biochemical variables. The data were collected and tabulated accordingly. The One-Way ANOVA statistical technique was used to find out the significant difference between the groups. No significant difference in the resting heart rate and breath holding time as physiological variables. The hemoglobin and uric acid as biochemical variables shows insignificant differences among different categories of athletes. This study would provide useful information for training and selection of athletes of different categories of athletes.

Sport is one of the most enduring of all human activities. Millions of people participate in sporting activities.

Purpose of present study was to know the status of obesity in different professional of Varanasi and to compare obesity among them. For purpose of present study three hundred subjects from six different professions were selected purposely.Obesity was determined by Waist Circumference score at narrowest point of belly. Data were collected from different professionals by door to door measurement at their provided time and destination by application of predetermined instruments.To know the status of subjects in relation to obesity descriptive statistics was used while to compare the subject'sstatus ANOVA was used at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that 19.3% subjects are at risk level of obesity while 80.7% are in safe zone. In ANOVA comparison significance difference is found among professional groups since calculated F (25.095) > tabulated (2.26) at 0.05 level of significance.

The intention of this study was to think about the health promotion activity and different physical activity status of student at college level of district Rohtak encircle. For the assessment of health promotion activity and different physical activity status of students, a evocative study has been considered in which survey method was adopted. There was section of 60 students of the four colleges of the district Rohtak encircle. The data was composed during health and physical activity questionnaire (Chenoweth, 1998) and examined by percentage method used.

The aim of this study was to find out how far speed and agility serves as determinants of long jump performance. To achieve the purpose of the study, the investigator randomly selected 40 long jumpers who participated at inter collegiate level athletic meets, representing different colleges. The selected subjects were measured of their speed using 50 M sprint test, agility using 4 x 10 shuttle run and long jump performance following the standard procedure. The collected data on speed, agility were correlated with long jump performance to find out the association between speed and agility with long jump performance. The obtained data were further subjected to statistical analysis using Multiple regression analysis to find out whether speed and agility combined together contributes for the long jump performance of these athletes.

The purpose of the study was to compare the respiratory function variables of athletes engaged in individual sports and team sports. The present study was conducted on a sample of sixty (N=60) male athletes, which includes thirty each, individual sports (N1=30, mean ± SD: age 21.13 ± 1.43 years, height 176.43 ± 5.11 cm, weight 67.87 ± 6.03 kg, BMI 21.70 ± 1.61) and team sports (N2=30, mean ± SD: age 20.50 ± 1.96 years, height 178.90 ± 6.29 cm, weight 71.03 ± 7.95 kg, BMI 22.14 ± 1.61) athletes who participated in inter-college competitions of Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. All the participants were informed about the aim and methodology of the study and they volunteered to participate in this study. All the participants were assessed for height, weight and selected pulmonary function variables. The height of the subjects was measured with anthropometric rod to the nearest 0.5 cm.

In the modern electronics era most of the adolescent are not participating in leisure activities and concentrate on studies. Regular physical activity would be important for life’s quality even if it had no relationship to disease and longevity. Physical activity is a significant ingredient in the quality of life, because it increases energy and promotes, physical and mental well being in addition to conferring health benefits. 21000 Boys from various schools of various districts India [Tripura (TR), Meghalaya (ML), Assam (AS), Mizoram (MZ), Manipur (MN), Nagaland (NL) and Arunachal Pradesh (A.R.)] (N=21000) were selected as subjects at random. Their age ranged from 13 to 15 years (studying from 7th to 10th standard). Muscular endurance was measured by the number of sit-ups in a one minute. Mean and standard deviation were computed by using SPSS statistical package. The calculated mean (X) and standard deviation (σ) was used to find out the Hull Scale. The result of the study shows that the adolescent boys of North-Eastern states were differing on muscular endurance. Hence it was concluded that, age, geographical region, growth, social behaviour, food habit and level of physical activity in curriculum and social life may influence the muscular endurance of adolescent boys of North-Eastern states.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of different conditional resistance training on anaerobic power of football players. Forty five football players from the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Annamalai University were selected as subjects. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 18 to 25 years, 158 to 169 centimetres and 55 to 66 kilograms respectively. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into three equal groups of 15 subjects each. Group I underwent linear progressive resistance training, group II underwent staircase progressive resistance training and group III acted as control. Prior to and after the training the subjects were tested on anaerobic power using standard test and procedures. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the significantly difference existing between pre test and post test on anaerobic power. The result of the study proved that due to different conditional resistance training significantly improved the anaerobic power of football players.
