Abstract

Purpose: Programs of Physical Education in Schools not only have to make the existence of this relatively new field justifiable but also attempt to make palpable contributions to the attainment of the objectives of education. The purpose of this study was to compare the high and low academic achievements of students in the performance of batting skill learning. Methodology: The study was to see their effect on front foot defense, front foot drive, back foot defense, and back foot drive. A total of thirty male students from Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education aged, ranging from 17 to 25 years were treated as subjects. Treatment was given on the LNIPE Cricket ground. To compare the batting skill learning ability of subjects with high and low academic achievement groups the analysis of co-variance was applied. This study indicated no significant difference between the high and low academic achievement groups. These insignificant differences might be because it’s not necessary that one who possesses high academic achievement got some achievements ii' learning skills because the skill related to the coordination function of the body and mind.
