Abstract

Kho-Kho is primarily an outdoor team sport popular in Asia's tropical regions. Several nations, including Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Malaysia, England, and many others, have adopted these native games of India. This study compared the physiological characteristics of male South-Zone Inter-university medalist and non-medal winners in kho-kho. For the purpose of the study, information was gathered from 60 players who competed in the South-Zone Inter University Kho-Kho Tournament, 30 of whom won medals and 30 of whom did not. The participants' ages ranged from 19 to 29. T-test statistical analysis was used to analyse the data and determine whether there were any statistically significant differences between the selected physiological variables of the South-Zone Inter-university.
