Abstract:
The main purpose of the study is to compare speed of movement and coordinative abilities of Badminton and Table Tennis players. Researcher hypothesized that, there might be significant differences in speed of movement and coordinative abilities of Badminton and Table Tennis players. The study was delimited to 10 Badminton and 10 Table Tennis players. The study was also delimited to inter-collegiate level male players S.G.B.A.U., Amravati. The age of the subjects ranged between 18-25 years. The present study was delimited to speed of movement and coordinative ability variables only. 10 Badminton and 10 Table Tennis were selected as subjects who represented inter-collegiate tournaments and inter-university trials of S.G.B.A.U., Amravati by using simple random sampling method. For collecting data the researcher administrated 50 yard dash for speed of movement and measured in seconds, Eye-Hand coordination and Eye-Foot Coordination tests used to measure the coordination ability and measured in seconds. To find out the significant difference’s’ test was employed on each variable independently. To test the hypothesis, the level of significance was set at 0.05 level of confidence. Badminton players are good in speed of movement and eye-hand coordination than Table Tennis players, but not in eye-food coordination.
