"A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DEVELOPMENT OF BALANCING ABILITIY IN NORMAL AND DEAF AND DUMB GIRLS BETWEEN 8 TO 14 YEARS" (original) (raw)

A comparative study of development of Balancing Ability in normal and deaf and dumb girls between 8 to 14 years is administered on around 350 students of different schools who were taking formal education. Out of 350 students 175 were selected from normal category and 175 from physically challenged i.e., deaf and dumb category. In each age group 25 girls were selected (25 subjects in normal girls and in each age group i.e., 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14 years totaling to 175; 25 subjects in deaf and dumb in each age group i.e., 8, 9, 10 11, 12, 13 & 14 years totaling to 175). These subjects were tested initially in Balancing Ability and the same subjects were exposed to the same tests after exactly one year without any formal sports training and the development in their Balancing Ability was noted. After the statistical treatment of data by utilizing t-test and f-test the following findings were noted: Balancing ability has been evaluated as the most uncertain ability as if has found a very low correlation among the same subjects when tested initially and finally. But can be developed at higher age groups.
