COMPARISON OF SELECTED PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABLES OF<br /> PLAYERS BELONGING TO VARIOUS DISTANCE RUNNERS

Abstract

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 various distance runners. The subjects were selected from the male athlete’s of Gwalior district of various distance runners i.e. short, middle and long distance runners for this study. Ten (10) male athletes from each groups namely short, middle and long distance groups 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 belonging to various distance runners namely short, middle and long distance. To see the significant difference of selected physiological variables among the players belonging to various distance runners the analysis of variance “F-ratio” was applied at.05 level of significance. For further analysis “Post-Hoc Test” (LSD Test) was applied. The short distance runners had shown significantly different level of VO2 max (72.727) in comparison to middle distance (75.854) and long distance (77.094) runners. However, the middle and long distance runners had shown more or less same level of VO2. Further long distance runners 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 long, middle and short distance runners had shown more or less same vital capacity and hemoglobin content with a small range of variation.
