Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to compare the physiological variables of female cricket players at different levels of participation. The study was administered on 260 women Cricket players in the age group 17-28 years of different levels belonging to Haryana, Punjab and Chandigarh state on the stratified random sampling basis. Physiological variables as blood pressure (diastolic and systolic), pulse rate, breath holding, and respiratory rate were measured. The statistical techniques used to obtain the data were mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA. The findings shows that players of Group-I (Inter-university and national level) are better in blood pressure diastolic, pulse rate, respiratory rate and breath holding from the Group-II (inter-college and state level) women cricket players.
