For this purpose 20 male football players with the mean age 24.6 ± 1.74 year were acted as a subject. Oral body temperature, body weight & blood pressure were the selected as physiological variables, which were measured by digital thermometer, weight machine and digital blood pressure. All the data were collected fifteen minute prior and instantly after the end of the match. Paired "t" was used as a statically tool which revealed that there were statistical significant was observed in all the selected physiological variables. The obtained "t" value for oral body temperature was 9.18, for body weight 7.12, for diastolic blood pressure 8.17 & for systolic blood pressure 8.88 was found between all the physiological variables before and after the high intensive football match.

Athletics Federation of India launched the Kid’s Athletics Program in India in 2013 with an objective of promoting balanced and healthy life style, to educate the children into sports in general and athletics in particular and to attract and sustain the budding talents of tomorrow. Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of 12 weeks IAAF Kid’s Athletics program on physical fitness among school going children aged 10 to 14 years. Methods and Materials: The study consisted of 40 children selected as subject where 20 children were categorized as low age group age ranged between 10 – 11 years and high age group age ranged between 13 – 14 years for determining the effect of age. Further 20 subjects were randomly assigned to Kid’s Athletics group and Placebo group which consisted of 10 low age children and 10 high age children ea...

Materials and methods. The study involved 40 students (age 10 to 14 years) with no previous history of systematic training. The subjects were further sub-divided based on their age, i.e. low age (10 to 11 years) and high age (13 to 14 years), and then randomly assigned to either an experimental group (Kid’s Athletics) or a control group. The psychological variables selected were stress tolerance reactive, simple motor speed, simple reaction speed, visual perception, and focused attention, whereas motor variables selected were sit and reach test, standing broad jump, 50m sprint, T-test, and 150m sprint. Tests were conducted pre-training, mid-training, and post-training for motor variables while only pre-training and post-training tests were conducted for psychological variables. Results. The two-way mixed A...

A sample of 60 subjects was randomly selected from the Physical Education and Engineering Institute, India. Each profession group had 30 subjects (15 boys and 15 girls) with age range of 21±3 years. Stress scores due to: 1) frustration and inhibition, 2) overload and 3) compulsive, time-urgent and aggressive behavior were measured for the selected subjects using the questionnaire developed by Daniel et al. (1979). The second questionnaire developed by George and Everly and used by Heyward (1991) was also administered to the students to measure their coping strategy. Data were analyzed using SPSS 17 version. Two way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that stress due to all the stimuli was significantly higher among girls in comparison to boys of their profession. Coping strategy was higher in boys than girls of their respective profession, but Physical Education girls had higher coping strategy than boys and girls of Engineering. Therefore, it can be concluded that Physical Education students had better coping strategy than engineering students.

This study investigates group cohesion among elite Indian male volleyball players. The study had two purposes; firstly, to assess the role of different parameters of team cohesiveness (Group-Task and Group-Social) among the high and low performance volleyball players; and secondly, to develop a discriminant model for classifying volleyball players into high or low performance groups on the basis of group cohesion parameters. Material and Methods. Two hundred eight male elite volleyball players from India were selected for the study. The Group Environment Questionnaire was administered to the subjects prior to the tournament and the data were obtained on four parameters: Group Integration-Task (GI-T), Group Integration-Social (GI-S), Individual Attraction to the Group-Task (IAG-T) and Individual Attraction to the Group-Social (IAG-S). On the basis of the performance of the teams forty eight samples were retained for the final study in such a manner that 24 volleyball players were from the first five teams and twenty four subjects were from the last five teams. The data was analyzed using the SPSS ver. 17.0. Results. The mean values of all the four group cohesion parameters were significantly higher among high performance volleyball players in comparison with low performance players. Further, a discriminant model was prepared to classify volleyball players into high and low performance groups on the basis of cohesion variables. A disrciminant function Z was developed (Z =-5.88 +0.11 (GI-T) +0.12 (GI-S)-0.05 (IAG-T) +0.15 (IAG-S)). The attained discriminant model classified correctly 75% of the cases in the sample. Conclusions. The variable Individual Attraction to the Group-Social (IAG-S) had the highest discriminating power among the four group cohesion parameters. The discriminant function Z developed in the study classified the male volleyball players into the low performance category, if its value was positive and into the high performance category, if negative.
