International Journal of Physiology, Nutrition and Physical Education , 2019
The purpose of this study was to assess effect of 12-week training on selected fitness parameters. 28 young field hockey players, were selected for the study. Variables change of direction speed (CODS), maximum speed, shoulder strength, leg strength and flexibility were measured two times with an interval of 12-weeks. Measurements obtained were compared using paired t-test to assess the effects of training. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results shows that shoulder strength, maximum speed and leg strength found to be statistically significant at p <.01 while flexibility found to be statistically significant at p <.05. No statistically significant difference was found in case of CODS. It was concluded that selected training programme is proficient to develop general fitness of the players and can be used by the coaches. For improvement in CODS skill specific training alongside speed and strength training is necessary. Introduction Field hockey is one of the successful team sport and popular among both men and women categories at all levels ranging from youth, junior and professional 1. This game incorporates repeated physical contact, extended moderate intensity running and intensive bouts of sprints including jogging [2]. High level of physical demands are imposed on the players during the match [1]. Field hockey players need to be highly conditioned to tackle specific demands of the game such as moderate intensity running for long duration, repeated high intensity sprints and techno-tactical execution [3]. From a physiological point of view, field hockey is a game which require high level of aerobic and anaerobic fitness [4, 5]. Field hockey players must be proficient in producing energy rapidly and able to recover quickly from the physiological load exerted on them during training and competition. Consequently, both the aerobic and the anaerobic systems must be well developed to enable the player to perform maximally and recover quickly [6]. Relevant studies show that field hockey players entail significant level of cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular endurance, strength and power [7]. With the changes in playing surface (grassy ground to Astroturf surface) the technical, tactical and physiological demands of the game has been changed [8]. In order to adapt to imposed demands the players have to develop physiological qualities [7]. Success at highest level in sport with high physiological demands like hockey, may be determined by the body composition of the player to some extent [9, 10]. However, only physical composition cannot be considered as a sole determinant for the success at higher level. As training of a player is a complex and multidimensional process and it requires high level of physical and physiological qualities and techno-tactical efficiency [11]. Physical training has positive effects on the sports performance [8] and the purpose of this study was to determine if and to what extent the physical fitness parameters change after 12-week training in preparatory phase among young field hockey players.

The study aimed to find out the effect of training on physiological parameters of Indian hockey player. 33 hockey players (age: 19.22±1.58, height: 173.4±5.51, weight: 64.7±5.63kg) who were trained in SAI, NSSC, Bangalore were volunteered for the present study. These athletes were given training according to the scientific training principles and technique of program design. At the two different phases of training i.e., preparatory phase and competitive phase the physiological parameters viz., VO2max, Heart Rate (HR) @ 8km/ speed, HR @ 10 Km per speed, HR maximum, Recovery HR (after 3 min), back strength, grip strength, flexibility, fatigue index, anaerobic peak lactate after 3 minutes recovery, body fat percentage, muscle mass and bone mass were measured with all safety precautions. The data were statistically analyzed by pooled "t"-test comparing preparatory and competitive phase values of selected variables using SPSS software. The results revealed that there was a significant increase (P<0.001) in the back strength, grip strength (left and right hand), flexibility and fatigue index in competitive phase compared to the preparatory phase. Whereas, significant decrease was observed in HR @ 8Km /hr speed in competitive phase compared to preparatory phase. Study results indicate that the systematic training protocol will lead to enhance the performance related parameters of athletes by adopting training induced physiological changes.
The Purpose of the study was to compare selected motor components and anthropometric measurement of different positional field hockey players. For this study total sixteen (8 Offensive and 8 Defensive) state level hockey players were selected as subjects from Etawah District (U.P.). Motor Components variables selected for the study were Cardiovascular Endurance and Flexibility, Anthropometric measurement variables were Height and weight. The data was collected for each variable by administering their respective tests. To ensure the reliability of data, sufficient number of trials were given to each subjects. To analyze the data Independent ‗t' test was applied at 0.05 level of significance. After applying Independent t-statistics in the present study, it was revealed that there is significant difference in Cardiovascular Endurance, Flexibility and Weight of Offensive and Defensive hockey players. In relation to height no significant difference was found among offensive and defensive hockey players. Cardiovascular Endurance and flexibility were found to be more in offensive hockey players while defensive hockey players were found to be better in terms of Weight. The results of the study may be attributed due to the nature of the games played at the respective positions of participants I.e. Offensive and Defensive as both the positions have their own specific demands of different motor components.
Assessment of Motor Fitness Metrics among Athletes in Different Sports: An Original Research
Physical Education Theory and Methodology, 2024
Background. Motor fitness is one of the keys to athletes’ success and is the initial factor mixed with game-specific technique and tactics that has an impact on game performance. All athletes should incorporate these elements into their sport and game actions. Study purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in motor fitness metrics among university-level male athletes participating in various sports. Materials and methods. Sixty (60) male athletes, ranging in age from 18 to 25 years, were selected from six different sports: Athletics, Basketball, Cricket, Football, Handball, and Volleyball. Each group consisted of 10 athletes who had competed at the inter-university level. The research focused on six key fitness metrics: agility, speed, power, arm strength, abdominal muscle strength, and cardiovascular endurance. Appropriate testing methods and instruments were used to measure these parameters. Statistical analysis, including one-way ANOVA and post hoc LSD tests, was performed to identify significant differences between the groups. A significance level of 0.05 was set for the study. Results. The results showed statistically significant differences among the groups in agility (F(5,54) = 4.776, p<0.001), speed (F(5,54) = 5.602, p<0.000), and cardiovascular endurance (F(5,54) = 3.578, p<0.007). However, no significant differences were observed for power (F(5,54) = 2.079, p>0.082), arm strength (F(5,54) = 1.368, p>0.251), and abdominal muscle strength (F(5,54) = 1.947, p>0.102). According to the post hoc (LSD) test findings, each group’s agility, speed, and cardiovascular endurance parameters were compared to each other to check the significance level. Conclusions. In summary, the study has revealed that agility, speed, and cardiovascular endurance were significantly different among athletes in various sports, whereas power, arm strength, and abdominal muscle strength were not. The findings suggest that athletes and coaches should prioritize sport-specific fitness components to improve game performance.

The main problem of athlete training process is the management of athletic form. It is important to determine the criteria which may be used to establish the dynamics of athletic form over the course of training macrocycle. Purpose of study: to provide experimental foundation for methods of athletic formdetermination in athletes of team game sports over the course of a training macrocycle. Materials and methods. 46 elite athletes participated in the study, they represented basic lineups of Ukrainian Higher League field hockey teams of "Dinamo-ShVSM" (Vinnytsia) and "Olympia-Kolos-Sequoia" (Vinnytsia). Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary and Internet data; pedagogical observation; methods of functional diagnostics; modeling methods; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. Results and conclusions. In order to effectively manage the dynamics of athletic form in athletes over the course of training macrocycle one must effectively control the magnitude and direction of training influences. It has been established that the coefficient of magnitude of training load during the phase of acquisition of athletic form in elite field hockey athletes must fall in the range between 5,4 and 8,5 point·min-1. The phase of stabilization of athletic form in hockey players is characterized by the magnitude of training influences during mesocycles from 8,2 up to 8,8 point ·min-1. The coefficient of training load must be at its lowest point during the phase of temporary loss of athletic form, and namely around 4,2 point·min-1. The level of physical and functional preparedness of athletes may be determined by using the developed 10-point scale. The following values were determined for the purpose of forming three phases of athletic form in elite field hockey athletes over the course of the training macrocycle: 4,1-5,7 points during acquisition phase; 5,7-5,9 points during stabilization phase; 3,5 points during temporary loss phase.
