Mr. Suman Ghos, Dr. Kuntal Thakur

Abstract :

Background: Anxiety and resting heart rate are inter–related psycho–physiological variable and they have adverse effects in sports performance. Purpose: The purpose of the present study find out that the relationship of resting pulse rate and anxiety profile of the players of different ballgames of players. Methodology: Total sixty (N=60) inter–versity players such as twenty footballers (n=20), twenty volleyballers(n=20) and twenty basket ballers (n=20) were selected at randomly as the subjects of the present study. The age limit of subjects was from 18 to 25 years. Sports competitive anxiety test (SCAT) developed by Rainer Martin, 1977 which was employed for all the subjects of all three groups. Heart rate was measured by pulse palpation. The pulse rate is measured by counting the beats in a set period of time. Analysis of varience was applied to determine the significant difference of the anxiety variable and resting pulse rate. . Further Post Hoc test was applied in case of significant difference was obtained. Result: The result of the present study revealed that there was no significant difference was found between resting heart rate and anxiety profile among three ballgames players. Conclusion: There was no significant difference was found between resting heart rate and anxiety profile among different ballgames players.
