An Association between Explosive Strength and Agility of Physical Education Students

Abstract

Muscular strength is key factor for lot of sports and games, without which positive performance of an athlete is impossible. Athletes concentrate a lot on their muscular strength by using proteins. The main purpose of this study was to compare individual and team game players with respect to their muscular strength. The researcher used simple random sampling for selecting the subjects for both the groups (Individual and Team game group). Total number of players taken by researcher for this researcher work was 200 players (100 for individual game players and 100 for team game players). The age of these players was fixed between 18 to 24 years. To measure the muscular strength of both the groups, researcher used pull ups test. To check the significant difference between individual and team game players group in relation to muscular strength, data was again analyzed by applying t test. Before applying “t” test, S.D was calculated between Individual game players group and Team game players group in relation to muscular strength, where standard deviation of Individual game players group was 2.64 and S.D of Team game players group was 2.04. The calculated value of “t” was found 4.21, which was greater than the tabulated t (1.972) at 0.05 level of significance. This showed that there was significant difference (P=4.21
