Mr. J. M. Gopinath, Dr. K. Muralirajan

Abstract :

Hockey is a game played by both sexes and mainly requires physical fitness components such as speed endurance and coordinative ability. There may be various reasons, but the investigator felt that the altitude difference may help in better performance of Hockey players.

Fifteen male school Hockey players in high and low altitude were selected as subjects. Their performance of speed and endurance were measured by 50 yards run and 12 minutes run and walk test respectively. School hockey players living in high altitude have more endurance than the School hockey players living in low altitude. There is no difference in Speed between the School hockey players in high and low altitude. Based on the calculation of t ratio the study proves that there is no difference in speed between the school hockey players in high and low altitude. The study also proves that there is a significance difference in the performance of endurance between the school hockey players of high and low altitude. The school hockey players living in high altitude have more endurance than the school hockey players living on low altitude.
