Abstract:
The purpose the current study was to find out the playing sports in a recreative way: effectiveness on health related physical fitness parameter among physically constraint high school boys. The study was 75 physically constraint high school boys were selected randomly from private high school of Bangalore north district, Karnataka, India. The age of the subjects ranged between 13 to 17 years. (Physically constraint school boys are who did not involve in any physical activities and not participate in any intramural sports and inter school sports and games competition during school physical education programme). The selected were divided into five groups (N=15) Experimental group Kabaddi, Kho-Kho, Volleyball, Football and Control groups for the training period of 12 weeks. The health related physical fitness parameter such as muscular endurance; push ups post-test (‘F’ value is 7.034 and ‘p’ value is 0.000) and cardio-vascular endurance; 600 yards run/walk, post-test (‘F’ value is 2.042 and ‘p’ value is 0.005) The analysis of covariance (ANOVA) Duncan’s post hoc-test was applied and the level of significant was set at the 0.05 level of confidence. The result indicated that experimental groups (Kabaddi, Kho-Kho, Volleyball, Football and Control group) were significantly improved compared to pre-test to post-test. It was indicated that the recreative way of playing Kabaddi, Kho-Kho and Football groups had significantly improved the muscular endurance and cardio-vascular endurance respectively. The study suggested that results would provide a scientific base and guidance to the Physical Educationists, Coaches and design the training program for Physically Constraint High School Boys.
