Relationship between Selected Anthropometric Measurement and Volleyball Playe...Sports Journal
The present study was undertaken to find out the significant relationship of selected anthropometric variables with the volleyball playing performance. 25 university level male volleyball players from Guru Ghasidas Univertsity, Bilaspur were selected as a subject for the present study with age range between 18 to 22 years. The following anthropometric variables i.e. Height, Weight, Arm length and Leg length variables were selected for the testing the hypothesis. The playing performance was analyzed by three experts through subjective observation. Pearson’s Product Moment correlation test was employed for the present study and the level of significance was set at 0.05. The statistical test was computed by using standard statistical package SPSS 16. Analysis of the results indicated that Height and Leg length from the anthropometric variables were shown the significant relationship with the volleyball playing performance.
The hamstring muscle group is the most frequently injured, representing
approximately 12 to 24% of all athletic injuries.1,2 These injuries may be due to
disproportionate training performed for the quadriceps,3 with hamstring strains
occurring more frequently in those who demonstrated hamstring weakness, and
lower hamstring-to-quadriceps strength ratios.2 Thus, hamstring strength is impor-
tant for athletic performance and injury prevention in a variety of sports.

Correlation between conventional clinical tests and a new movement assessment battery - Bachelor thesis
Despite the complexity of movements performed in sports, physical examination is today done by conventional tests that evaluate joints and muscles individually (e.g. Smith press test, Figure1). Our study used a new movement assessment battery of 20 reach tests, which incorporates the complexity and diversity of natural human movements, taking into consideration that joints are interdependent in a movement and that the planes and sequences of a movement change during its performance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there is a correlation between conventional mobility tests and the new assessment battery.

Abstract
Go to
The motivation and habits of rock climbers were investigated using mixed methodology in order to better understand exercise participation. Forty-one patrons of a south eastern United States climbing gym completed a demographics form and adapted Sports Motivation Scale II (SMS-II), while thirty-six participants completed the Rock Climbing Motivation Survey (RCMS). Those with higher climbing frequency reported significantly higher levels of identified regulation than individuals who climbed less often (p=0.011). According to a thematic analysis, exercise balance and personal growth and challenges were the most commonly reported themes of motivation for rock climbing. The most frequently cited barriers were injury and time. Participants reported external motivators to climb upon initiation of the sport, but appeared to rely more on internal motivators to continue climbing. These findings, which are supported by current literature on physical activity, may be applicable to promoting exercise participation and maintenance.

Study of Knee Kinematics during Walking and Running in Middle Aged MalesYogeshIJTSRD
This paper aimed to figure out knee altered kinematics and to investigate possibility of knee injury in middle aged males when performing walking and running. Twelve healthy middle aged males 45 60 years volunteered to perform walking 3 km h and running 5 km h on treadmill in the biomechanics laboratory. A set of markers were attached to specify knee landmarks of each participant, who was tracked by a 7 cameras 3D motion capture system. The marker positions were used to determine the segment coordinate system SCS for calculation of knee flexion, as well as abnormal kinematics included knee internal rotation, varus rotation and anteroposterior translation. The result showed similarity of knee altered kinematics during walking and running. The maximum of knee flexion, internal rotation and varus rotation of running were higher than walking significantly, whereas there was no significant difference inanteroposterior translation p 0.05 .The repetitive anteroposterior translation could increase the risk of knee injury, while increased varus and internal rotation have been associated with the progression of iliotibial friction syndrome. This study provides the information that middle aged males runners can use to develop running techniques.

Correlation of Sergeant Jump & Squats Tests Performance of Basketballers with...Premier Publishers
This study deals with the assessment of leg strength by sergeant jump test and squats test & its correlation with leg measurements and energy intake among young girls and boys undergoing regular basketball training (age: 10-15 yrs, n=400). Players were selected from leading basketball training clubs of Nagpur city, Maharashtra. Foot width, foot length, thigh circumference, calf circumference & ankle circumference were measured using a measuring tape. Leg strength of basketballers was evaluated by means of fitness tests such as sergeant jump test and squats test. Energy intake data was collected by 24 hour’s dietary recall method for consecutive three days. For the present study, both null hypothesis (H0) & non directional alternative hypothesis (H1) were formulated. The difference was tested at both 0.01 & 0.05 levels of significance. Correlations were derived using Pearson’s product moment coefficient of correlation. Basketballers possessed significantly wider & longer feet than standards for age & gender. Effect of age on three leg circumferences (thigh, calf & ankle) was found to be strong, with older girls & boys showed significantly (p<0.01) larger mean thigh, calf & ankle circumference than younger girls & boys. Although basketballers were regular in their daily meal timings, they failed to meet the daily requirements of energy intake. Older basketballers surpassed the younger basketballers with respect to the mean vertical distance jumped. All groups of basketballers were rated excellent for their mean performance of squats test. Leg anthropometry correlated positively with vertical jump & squats test performance of basketballers. Regular basketball training at young age should be coupled with recommended intake of energy to ensure leg strength.

ABSTRACT: A flexible ankle joint is suggested to be a contributing factor for sport performance, body
control. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the differences in proprioception in static and
dynamic movements between subjects with good ankle joint mobility (FL) and poor ankle joint mobility (IN) in
male adolescent handball players. The dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankle ROM was measured, at knee
extension angle of 120°, with a goniometer. 26 male handball players participated (21.1 ± 4 yrs, 80.8 ± 10 kg,
182 ± 7.38 cm). Furthermore, the players fulfilling previously recommended criteria were assigned to the
flexible (n = 6) and inflexible (n = 6) groups and executed two test of static and dynamic movement (BESS Test
and Star Excursion Balance Test). Results of the T TEST on IMB SPSS 26 revealed a significant (p < 0.05)
group effect as (FL) group had less errors than (IN) group on BESS test. In addition, the results of the total sum
on stable and unstable surface in star excursion test showed significant differences in the directions:
anterolateral (7.4), posterolateral (8.6), posteromedial (7.9), medial (10.8) and anterior medial (8.1). In
conclusion, there is a correlation between poor ankle joint mobility and poor proprioception, balance control and
athletic movements.

Postural Comparison of Dextrous and Ambidextrous PlayersIOSR Journals
Abstract: The purpose of the study was the postural comparison of dexterous and ambidextrous players.
Human posture is the basic thing that a sports man need for his sports performance at an optimum level. Each
and every human beings posture will build up according to the nature of activity.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the postural deformities between dexterous and ambidextrous
players. The subjects were selected from the Kannur university campus, Christ College Irinjalakuda, S N
College Kannur, LNCP Trivandrum, Calicut University Center for Physical Education, ST.Thomas college Pala
and ST.Thomas college Thrissur, the investigator go and collect data from the players. The total number of
hundred (N=100) players and the fifty (n=50) from the each group. The investigator was given a small
description about the test and it’s important to the subjects. The New York posture rating scale was utilized for
the posture assessment. Depending up on the deformity, the players were ranked according to the specific norms
of the test like 5 for good posture, 3 for average, 1 for poor posture. After taking the raw scores of the students,
calculate the percentage of postural deformity by using independent‘t’ ratio.
From the finding we would make understand that the ambi- dexterous players show comparatively good
posture than the dexterous players. Posture of the cricket players was the most fatly than the other players. In
the case of the anterior postural region cricket players and the lateral postural region the volley ball players
had the poor postural level as compared to the other players. The swimmers had the good posture among the
anterior and lateral region of posture.

Abstract: The purpose of investigation was to study the relationship of kinematics variables with the
performance of standing broad jump. Subjects were randomly selected from J.N.V. University, Jodhpur and
M.D.S. University, Ajmer. The criterion measure used for this study was the performance in standing broad
jump and selected kinematics variables. To analyze the raw data coefficient of correlation (r) were calculated
and results were compared with the help of Analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique where level of significance
was set at .05.
I. Introduction
Education contributes to the development, advancement and perfection of the nation‟s culture. It is
often described as a process that strives to produce desirable changes in the behavior of individual. The modern
education is concerned with the development of an individual through at integrated to fit in the society, which
maintain advances social order.
Games and sports have been part of human life almost since the time immemorial. Be it a necessity for
his survival i.e. hunting for food and shelter, safety from wild animals or other enemies or as a pursuit of
pleasure, the games and sports have been indispensable to man kind and have been part of his culture. Through
the origin of sports is lost in antiquity, it is quite certain that physical activity have been a basic necessity of life,
more that fun and diversion, for his survival depended on it. Gradually along with the process of evolution, such
activities become more plays become part of culture of tribes. People used sports and games as a means of
transmitting the cultural heritage of their tribes, games, sports and physical activities, persisted despite the rise
and fall of ancient civilization as a cultural heritage to another. Today games and sports have emerged as
universal culture phenomena. (Ajmer Singh, Jagtar, Jagdish Bains, 2000). Training in sports and games is no
longer a myth and it has no casual approach, but it provides opportunities for scientific process and verification.
Training has been accepted as a highly specialized science. Physical education scientist are striving to
understand the various factor affecting skeletal and muscular activity, during variation of human movements
with the help of electro – myography and are engaged in analyzing the biomechanics of performances of the top
athletes by focusing their attention upon the analysis of sports skills. They are consistently studying factors like
strength, limb length, mass, inertia proportions and angular and linear velocity that influence these movements,
to get a better insight into the complexities of human motion and performance. The latest approach is aimed at
the construction of a mathematical model of a skill in a form which is suitable for computer analysis so that is
could be simulated under several carefully controlled conditions for predicting more effective techniques for
higher performances. (Doris I Miller and Richard C. Nelson, 1973).
In long jumping (formerly called broad jumping), the contestant dashes along a runway and springs
into the air from a take off board, with the aim of covering the greatest possible distance. While still in the air
the jumper throws both feet for forward of the body. Competitors take three jumps for distance, after which the
best performers get three more jumps. A jump is measured along a straight line extending from the front edge of
the take off board to the mark made closest to the take off board by any part of the4 jumper‟s body as the jumper
lands in the send pit. The athletes are rated on their longest jump. Long jumping requires strong leg and
abdominal muscles, running speed, and leg spring. (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 1993-2001).
Simple as well as specialized form of hoping and leaping and hurdling are clustered in a general
category of skills called jumps. A jump is accomplished by propelling the body off the ground with the thrust
from one or both the legs. The method of launching the body into the air is the essential ingredient of the jump,
but in many instances the method of landing is important to skillful performance. Jumping however ordinarily is
associated with more vigorous and extensive non-support movement and should be regarded as more difficult
skill. (Ralph L. Widestron. 1977). As the foot is raised from the floor no action occurs in the ankle joint except
for the slight flexion. In first third of the time between heels raising and the final thrust the ankle is flexed 5
degree. Since ankle flexion carry the C.G. of the body forward and thereby increase the effect of gravitational
pull, the difference in the metarsophalangeal action is expected. Beyond this rate until the final thrust. (John M.
Cooper and Ruth Balassow, 1969).

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this investigation was to study the relationship of kinematics variables
with the performance of standing broad jump.
II. Objectives:
1. To find out relationship between Kinematics variables and performance in standing broad jump with regard
to beginners.
2. To find out relationships between kinematics variables and performance in standing broad jump with regard
to intermediate athletes.
3. To find out relationship between kinematics variables and performance in standing broad jump with regard
to advance athletes.
4. Comparing the standing broad jump performance among the three selected groups.
Hypothesis:
On the basis of the knowledge gained from available literature, research finding and the scholars own
understanding of the problems, it was hypothesized that.
1. There may be significant variation in the relationship of kinematics variables with the performance of
beginner‟s in standing broad jump.
2. There may be significant variation in the relationship of kinematics variables with the performance of
intermediate in standing broad jump.
3. There may be significant variation in the relationship of Kinematics variable with the performance of
advance athletes in standing broad jump.
4. There may be significant variation in the performance of selected groups.
III. Methodology:
Subjects: Thirty male athletes ranging from 17 to 25 years age of J.N.V. University, Jodhpur and M.D.S.
University, Ajmer were randomly selected as the subjects for this study.
Selected of Kinematical variables were:
1. Ankle Joints
2. Knee Joints
3. Hip Joints
4. Shoulder Joints
5. Elbow Joints
6. Wrist Joints
Criterion Measure: - The score of the subjects in standing broad jump were used as criterion measure for this
study.
The criterion measure used for this study was the maximum distance covered in standing broad jump
subject was tested from different kinematics variables. Each subject was given three trials and the best trial was
recorded as the score.
Statistical Technique Used:- To analyze the raw data mean (Garret, 1979) and coefficient of correlation
(Verma, 2000) were calculated and result were compared with the help of one way analysis of variance („F‟
ratio), technique where level of significance was set at .05.
Result of the Study: - The statistical analysis of data pertaining to Relationship of Kinematics variables with
the performance of standing broad jump.

As shown in (Beginner Boys) Table – 1 that the values of coefficient of correlation incase of all the
selected Kinematics variables were found insignificant at the selected level of significance of 0.05. Since the
required value of coefficient of correlation for 8 degree of freedom is 0.632 and the obtained values of
coefficient of correlation of selected variables less than the required value.
As shown in (intermediate boys) Table -1 that the values of coefficient of correlation in case of all the
selected kinematics variables were found in significant at the selected level of significance of 0.05 except right
elbow joint which showed a negative correlation with the performance which shows that decrease in the angle of
the right elbow joint will increase the performance. Since the required value of coefficient of correlation for 8
degree of freedom is 0.632 and the obtained values of coefficient of correlation of selected variables less than
the required value.
As shown in (Advance Boys) Table-1 that the values of coefficient of correlation in case of all the
selected kinematics variables were found in significant at the selected level of significance of 0.05. Since the
required value of coefficient of correlation for 8 degree of freedom is 0.632 and the obtained values of
coefficient of correlation of selected variables less than the required value.
