The present study was an attempt to find out the difference in mental health among sportspersons participated at district and state level championships. Eighty sportspersons (40 district level + 40 state level) players were taken as a sample on the basis of random sampling method. Mental Health Battery by Arun Kumar Singh and Alpana Sen Gupta was used to collect the data. Mean, SD and 't' test was used to analyse the data. It was found that sportspersons participated at state level championships have better mental health than sportspersons participated at district level championship.
Problem statement: Numerous fitness tests are usually administered to determine either muscular strength or cardiovascular endurance. Even though an ample number of tests exist to measure upper body muscular endurance and lower body maximal muscular strength, a single test that assesses both could be beneficial in some circumstances. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if a hand-grip dynamometer strength test is a valid predictor of lower body explosive strength. Methods: Participants included 164 college students including both genders included boys = 83, (age 20.72±2.82 yrs., height 170.28±5.48 cm, weight 62.01±9.55 kg) and girls = 81, (age 20.64±2.74 yrs, height 159.30±5.68 cm, weight 55.71±8.14 kg). Subjects performed the standing broad jump (SBJ) for lower body explosive strength. Subjects performed 3 trials of the dominant hand grip strength (dHGS) test, after which the maximum value was recorded. Pearson bivariate correlation analyses were used to determine relationships between measures. Simple linear regression with enter method was performed to predict variation in lower body explosive strength through the hand grip dynamometer strength test. Results: Significant correlations were found between dHGS and SBJ (r = .802, p<0.05), A simple linear regression was calculated to predict BMI based on HGS. The regression was found statistically significant (R 2 = .642, F (1, 162) = 291.036, P<0.05). Following reference equation [SBJ = (0.974) + (0.015) × dHGS] was developed to predict lower body explosive strength. Conclusions: The hand grip dynamometer strength test was a significant predictor of lower body explosive strength. The reference equation calculated implicates its usefulness as a method to predict lower body explosive strength simply through the hand grip dynamometer strength test.
The present study was an attempt to find out the difference in physical fitness level between basketball and football players. The sample for this study consisted of 150 subjects each belonging to Basketball and football from Haryana, who had represented their schools and colleges in various state level tournaments were selected as the subjects for the study. The Criterion measures from AAPHER Physical fitness test have been chosen for this study. Mean, Standard deviation and 't' Test were used to analyse the data Findings of the study revealed that: (i) Football players was found better in 50-yard dash than basketball players; (ii) Basketball players are much better in Standing Broad Jump than football players; (iii) there is no significant difference in Pull-Ups between Basketball and football players; (iv) Football players were found better in Shuttle-run than basketball players; (v) There is no significant difference in Sit-ups of Basketball and football players and (vi) Football players were found better in six hundred yard run than basketball players.
The present study was an attempt to find out the difference in self-efficacy among male and female and individual and team game players sportspersons who have participated at state level and district level sports events. A number of 100 male and female sportspersons (50 state level + 50 district level) of Haryana were taken as a sample on the basis of random sampling method. A standardized questionnaire on Self efficacy developed by Bandura (1977) was used for the collection of the data. 't' test was used to assess the significant difference. The findings of the study reveals that (i) Male sportspersons have better self-esteem than the female sportspersons; (ii) there is no significant difference in self-esteem of individual and team game players on self-esteem.
The present study was an attempt to find out the level of depression among male and female athletes of M.D. University, Rohtak. Present study was conducted on a sample of 70 subjects selected (35 male and 100 female) in the age range of 18 to 28 years. Standardized depression test by L.N. Dubey (1993) was used to collect the data. Mean, Standard Deviation and 't' test was used to anlayse the data. On the basis of results obtained in the depression scale, it can be commented that there is no significant difference between male and female athletes of M.D. University, Rohtak.
