Evaluation Of Body Composition Between Basketball And Handball Male Interuniversity Players.
Abstract
The purpose of present study was to compare the Body Density and Percentage Body Fat between Basketball and Handball male interuniversity male players. For this study, Total 40 male subjects (20 Basketball and 20 Handball) belong to 18-27 years of age range was taken. The study was conducted on players of Punjabi university Patiala and M.P.S.P.S University Patiala. All the samples were taken by applying purposive sampling technique. After being informed of the study's purpose and protocol, each subject willingly agreed to participate in the trial by providing their informed consent. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The t- value of Body density is (12.96), % body fat is (2.0758) at 0.05 level and degree of freedom is set at 38. The results show that there is significant difference of body density and percentage body fat between the Basketball and Handball Players.
