Volleyball is a competitive sport and the main goal is to win or defeat other teams. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relation between selected anthropometric variables and reaction time of volleyball players. Fourteen district-level volleyball players from Bolpur, Birbhum, and West Bengal were selected as subjects. The age of the subjects was 19 to 25 years. Anthropometric segments (i.e., height, weight, arm length, leg length, BMI, and reaction time) were the variables of the study. Pearson product–moment correlation coefficient was used to find out the relationship. The level of significance was set at 0.05. There is a positive relationship between reaction time and weight, arm length, leg length, and BMI, but there is a negative relationship between height and reaction time of volleyball players.
Background: In modern India the Indian Super League (ISL) is top professional and popular league in the game of Football. The ISL was started in 2013 with 8 teams. The study was framed to review the performance of three ISL session that is 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20.

The study’s purpose was to conduct a comparison of selected physiological measures among students who commute to school via three different modes of transportation (Bicycling, Walking, and Motor Vehicles). Initially, a total of 600 school-going boys (N = 600) were chosen as study participants. Class VIII to XII grade school male students aged 14 to 18 years were purposefully selected as study subjects from seven secondary schools in the Birbhum district of West Bengal, India. Each group had 200 participants: N = 200 for walking, N = 200 for bicycling, and N = 200 for motor vehicles. A category-wise number of subjects were selected from the different schools. The data was calculated by descriptive statistics. For all independent variables, which were computed by using SPSS, one way ANOVA test followed by t-tests were used. As a result, students traveling to school by motor vehicle, as non-active commuters, had a significantly higher Body Mass Index (21.81) and percent Body Fat (16.03) than the other two active commuters, namely the walking and bicycling groups. According to current researchers, students who commute from their homes to school each day may use walking as their main form of transportation. The researchers also concur that if the school is reasonably close to the home, walking is a great form of transportation for students.
The Paralympic games is an emerging sports field and as well as industry in India right now. Although the journey from the first Paralympic games in 1960 to the latest edition in 2020 Tokyo games was not easy for a country like India where sports is still not getting that much important which needed. In between these years there were few years where India even cannot able to participate. But in current situation the scenario for parasports is changing which reflects in the medal tally of latest edition. The purpose of this study was to observe how Indian para-athletes progressed year by year in the Paralympics. The researcher conducted the data and various sources like official website of International Paralympic Committee and Paralympic Committee of India. The researcher also conducted an interview with the honourable president and secretary of Bengal Paralympic Association. After analysing the data, it was observed that the medal tally for India in Paralympics increased year by year and it reached its optimum in 2020 Tokyo Paralympic games. The cause of this great performance was mainly the support and funding given the Central Government of India, Various NGO and private associations and also the Paralympic Committee of India. Apart from that the support of the society and media also motivated these para-athletes to give their best at the top level.
