RELATIONSHIP OF SELECTED PHYSICAL AND ANGULAR KINEMATIC VARIABLES WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF HOCKEY PLAYERS IN FLICK

Dharmendra Singh, Dr. Neeraj Jain

Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of selected angular kinematic and physical variables with the performance of Hockey players in Flick. For the purpose of this study 8 male hockey players from university of Allahabad who participated in intervarsity hockey competitions, were selected as subjects for the study. The age of subjects was between 18 to 25 years. The subjects were good players and have been practicing the technique of flick for quite a considerable time. The performance of flick of subjects measured in meters. The selected kinematic variables such as angles at ankle joint, knee joint, hip joint, shoulder joint, elbow joint and wrist joint were obtain by measuring with the help of protector from the stick figures at the moment of execution of flick. Physical variables such as leg strength, grip strength, height and weight were measured with the help of leg dynamometers, grip dynamometers, stadiometer and weighing machine. The Pearson&rsquo;s product moment correlation was used in order to find out the relationship between selected angular Kinematics and Physical variables with the performance of Hockey players in Flicks. The level of significance was set at .05. It has been observed from the analysis of given data and interpretation of findings that not be significant relationship between the selected angular kinematics and physical variables with the performance of Hockey players in Flick was found.
