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 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.
