COMPARISON OF VITAL CAPACITY AND RESTING HEART RATE VARIABLES IN PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED SWIMMERS
Abstract
The present investigation was to find out the comparison of vital capacity and resting heart rate variables in physically challenged swimmers. 25 male (5 from each group) was selected as a subjects for the study from the five different classes i.e. S1,S2,S3,S4 & S5 classes of National level physically challenged swimmers with age ranged between 20-25 years. The physiological variables were measured with the following procedure: vital capacity with a dry spirometer and resting heart rate with stopwatch (seconds). To determine the difference of vital capacity and resting heart rate variables in physically challenged swimmers Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was employed and the significant level was set at 0.05. Data revealed that there was no significant difference found in physically challenged swimmers in case of Vital capacity variable but in case of resting heart rate variables significant relationship was shown in physically challenged swimmers.
