Relationship of physiological parameters as predictors of performance in volleyball players

Abstract

This research was entitled as “Relationship of Physiological Parameters as Predictors of Performance in Volleyball Players”. The subjects for the present study were hundred (50-male and 50-female) inter-college level volleyball players from the affiliated colleges of Panjab University, Chandigarh. The data pertaining to the anthropometrical, physical and physiological variables was collected in the track and laboratory of Physical Education Department, Panjab University. The performance was assessed by the panel of three judges rating of skills during the inter-college tournament of Panjab University. In order to correlate the performance in playing ability on the basis of the physiological variables, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Correlations will be employed. The dependent variables predicting playing ability performance in volleyball was found out through Regression Equations. The analysis of data of men volleyball players reveals that none of the physiological variables showed any significant relationship to playing ability. In case of women volleyball players also none of the physiological variables showed any significant relationship to volleyball playing ability.
