TO STUDY THE POSITIONAL PLAYERS OF HANDBALL IN RELATION TO MOTOR FITNESS VARIABLES
Keywords:
Handball, Motor Fitness, Positional PlayAbstract
The purpose this study was to compare the selected motor fitness variables among the Handball players different positional play i.e. Wingers, Center, Back & Pivot.
The Subjects were 100 male senior Handball players who had participated in national or University level tournament. These subjects were selected randomly on regional basis comprising 25 from each of the different positional play i.e. Wingers, Center, Back & Pivot. For the purpose of assessing the comparison of motor fitness variables all the subjects formed a single group, whereas for the purpose of comparing them on different positional play basis, the subjects from each region were considered separately.
Various measurements of motor fitness tests i.e. speed, strength, agility, endurance and explosiveness.
The test for motor fitness variables were 50m dash, Sit ups, 4x10 m shuttle rum, 600m run, poll ups and standing bread jump.
The test- retest method was used to determine the tester's competency. The data collection was statistically analyzed to compare each variable of motor fitness of the Handball of different positional play i.e. Wingers, Center, Back & Pivot.
F-test was employed to test the inter regions variability, and LSD test was administered to find out the superiority of one region over the other in a particular variable of motor fitness.
To determine the difference between the means of different motor fitness variables of the subject of different positional play the level of significance chosen was .05. F ratio obtained on six variables out of all the measurement and tests in all the regions were significant, and to fine which of the differences among the paired means on various tests were statically significant the LSD test was applied.
