International Journal of Yogic, Human Movement and Sports Sciences, 2019
The purpose of the study was to compare the selected physiological variables namely; maximum oxygen consumption, vital capacity, resting heart rate and hemoglobin content among basketball, volleyball and handball players. Ten (10) male players of NCR region from Basketball, volleyball and Handball were selected as the subject for the study. Selected physiological variables such as maximum oxygen consumption, vital capacity, resting heart rate and hemoglobin content were presented to compare the players among basketball, volleyball and handball. To see the significant difference of selected physiological variables among basketball, volleyball and handball, the analysis of variance "F-ratio" was applied at 0.05 level of significance. For further analysis "Post-hoc Test" (LSD Test) was applied. The handball players had shown significantly different level of VO2 max. (72.727) in comparison to volleyball (75.854) and basketball (77.094) players. However, the volleyball and basketball players had shown more or less same level of VO2. Further basketball players had shown better efficiency of heart as its mean value (56.3) was lowest among all the three groups in relation to resting heart rate. On the other hand basketball, volleyball and handball players had shown more or less same vital capacity and hemoglobin content with a small range of variation. Introduction The elements, of scientific basis of selection are being inducted in the procedure of selection of athletes at various levels in some of the advanced countries. The knowledge from many scientific disciplines is being used for improving criteria for the selection of talents. The physical educationists have designed test procedures for evaluating the fitness of young children. The structures of performance for different games and events are being worked out. The general physical fitness of top-ranking athletes has been evaluated. Human growth and performance is also an important field in this regard. The physiological factors limiting one's performance in sports are also well known. It is the understanding of interaction of all these factors that can help us in designing the way for selecting the children for appropriate game and training. Among all the factors, the physiological characteristics play an important role for the attainment of high level sports performance. Among the various physiological parameters, cardiovascular efficiency forms the basis to undertake sports efforts successfully. Cardio-vascular efficiency reflects the capacity of an individual to undertake and continues physical efforts of sub-maximal nature for a relatively longer period of time. To measure cardio-vascular efficiency, tests of physical works capacity and VO 2 max. have been developed to use in laboratory and field situations to assists the scientist, physical educators and coaches. If sophisticated instruments are not available making use of the aergometry certain indirect methods of estimation of VO 2 max. have been suggested. Austrian nomogram is one of such method. The performance of athletes is affected by different factors like physiological, psychological, motor traits etc. Many studies had been done in respect of physiological factor, psychological factor on the performance level and so on. So, the researcher is interested to compare the physiological variables among basketball, volleyball and handball players.

Introduction Physical Fitness is one's richest possession, it cannot be purchased, it has to be earned through a daily routine of physical exercise. Physical activity is as natural and essential to humans as eating is whether you are awake or asleep, muscular contractions permits your lungs to breaths. Your heart to beat your eyes to move, and your body to twin. Movement of a body part or of the whole body in the primary function of the human muscular system, but because no system operates independently, movement also involves the skeletal nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems These systems support muscular movements, and conversely physical activity contributes to their effective functioning and well-being. Researches have shown that a physical fit person is able to withstand fatigue for longer period than the unfit, that the physically fit person is better equipped to tolerate physical stress, that the physically fit person has strong and more efficient heart and that there is a good relationship between good mental alertness, absence of nervous tension and physical fitness. There are many concepts regarding health related physical fitness, it has been an important subject for many years. This term has been given interpretations by many of the authorities in the field of physical education and sports. Still today, there is a controversy existing about the meaning of the term. Fitness is competency or preparedness for life. Different authors and researchers did many studies and researchers on various health related fitness level of different players of different games and sports, such as Basketball, Handball and Volleyball etc. and brought out may study results and many conclusions, are made which proved out to be very useful to different future studies. The study of the health related physical fitness of inter-college players in volleyball, handball and basketball is very useful and helpful process for the physical education teacher to know the level of fitness of the players. By knowing that the physical education teacher will find it easily well players of their games and sports. Therefore, the researchers thought to find out the physical fitness level in between Volleyball, Handball and Basketball players.

Background and Aim: Data of fitness profile parameters in Indian basketball and volleyball players are scanty. Present study aimed to evaluate the fitness profile parameters of the volleyball and basketball players and compare the data between the groups and with their overseas and sedentary counterparts. Methods: Volleyball (n=40) and basketball (n=40) players belonging to the age group of 18-30 years were recruited from Kolkata, India in addition to their sedentary counterparts (n=30) who were recruited from the same locality where the players reside. Standard procedures were adopted to evaluate the fitness profile parameters. Statistical analyses comprised of ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's post-hoc analysis with the level of significance set at p<0.05. Results: Basketball players had significantly higher anaerobic power and BMI, % body fat and total body fat than the volleyball players, whereas, agility, body density and % LBM were significantly higher in volleyball players. Conclusion: Inter-group difference among the experimental group individuals may be attributed to the variation in the physical and physiological demands pertaining to their specific sport as well as difference in their training modules. Greater fitness in the studied players in comparison to sedentary control individuals was attributed due to their regular involvement in training.
