Shubhankar Roy, Dr. Atanu Ghosh

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to compare the selected physical fitness components between state and national level football referees. In this investigation fifteen (n=15) active male state level football referees and fifteen (n=15) national level football referees were selected as subjects from Calcutta Referees Association (CRA) of West Bengal, India. The age of the subjects ranged between 24 to 30 years. For the criteria of the present study two physical fitness variables were studied i.e. speed and endurance. Speed was measured by 40 meter run, where as endurance was measured by interval run test. The obtained data was analyzed by descriptive statistics viz. mean, standard deviation, standard error of mean and further independent �t� test was also used for generalizing the statistical significant difference between state and national level football referees. The result shows that, there was significant difference found in endurance, while insignificant different found in speed between state level and national level football referees.
