Abstract

The purpose of the study was to characterize elite Gujarat volleyball players to standard human performance measures by their selected co-ordinative abilities. The purpose of the study was to compare sub junior, junior and senior players of volleyball by their selected co-ordinative abilities. The subjects were tested on selected coordinative abilities i.e. Reaction ability, Orientation ability, Differentiation ability, Balance ability and Rhythm ability. To characterize elite state volleyball players to their standard human performance measure s by selected coordinative abilities, mean and standard deviation were used. To compare the selected co -ordinative abilities among sportsman belonging to three levels (Sub-Juniors, Juniors and Senior), one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc (Least significant difference) test was used and the levels of significance was set at 0.05 levels. The analysis of variance showed that there was significant difference between sub juniors, juniors and seniors in relation to Reaction ability, Orientation ability, Balance ability and Rhythmic ability as “F” Values were found to be significant (99.65, 9.60, 9.39 and 176.44) where these were required to be 3.92 at 0.05 level of confidence. In relation to differentiation ability there was not any significant difference between sub juniors, juniors and seniors as „F‟ value was not found to be significant (0.021), where this was required to be 3.92 at 0.05 level of confidence. After applying the post-hoc (least significant difference) test it was observed that in relation to Reaction ability mean differences of sub juniors and juniors; sub juniors and seniors; juniors and seniors was found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance. In relation to orientation ability mean differences of sub juniors and junior; sub juniors and seniors; juniors and seniors was found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance. In relation to Balance ability mean differences of sub juniors and juniors; sub juniors and seniors; juniors and seniors was found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance. In relation to Rhythmic ability mean differences of sub juniors and juniors; sub juniors and seniors; was found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance.
