PREDICTION OF PLAYING ABILITY OF UNIVERSITY LEVEL HANDBALL PLAYERS IN RELATION TO THEIR MOTOR ABILITY AND KINTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES BHUPINDER TANWAR Astt Prof. Physical Education M.N. College, Shahabad (Haryana)

______________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In the modern world , which is technically advanced and developing more and more by leaps and bounds in the shortest span of time there is great need of considering the personality and characteristics of the individuals and the sports person specially to get the surprising and better results and performance .The individual characteristics may include any think pertaining to the need of the game and in case of handball the motor ability and anthropometric variables have no place and match for higher a many the individual characteristics each individual or team which participate in any sports events wants to win because society attract great significance of winning . Handball being a running dribbled game and the game gained popularly and spread all over the world and having a various fundamental skills needs the factors which relate to the development of health and increase functional capacity of the body and its contributes in the successful performance of fundamentals skills in handball .The anthropometric measurements can be used for assessments of physical status and related to one’s health immunity from disease and are helpful for performance . Physical performance and personality qualities with the help these factors the handball players can excel betterly as well these can be used as tools of selections of handball players. This will also helpful in general develop means of handball players and the game of handball The results of the study set a general trend of the improvements in overall handball playing ability according to their level of competitions ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Sports are not merely fun, games and diversion or entertainment in sports athletes often strive for perfection just as many persons do in religious order. In sports as in religion there are heroes and heroines who provide models to the perfection to be strived for, who are admired for what they did becoming almost like saint such as the religious nature of sports. Sincere ancient times, sports activities in the shape of running, jumping and throwing have been a natural part of man's existence whether it was hunting animals for food or escaping from the wild and dangerous species. However, latterly these activities became pleasurable and competitive, leading to desire for improving his own speed of movement or ability to complete in these competitions. The development in the present country in all walk of human life has surprised the progress of thousands of years and sports also a part of life. It has became a very 172

important and integral part of the total educational process. Through the well directed programme, children develop skills for the worth use of leisure time, engage in activities that are conductive to healthy living and all the endeavours load to their physical, social, mental and emotional health. In competitive sports, there is inter play of numerous factors, physique and condition of health, psychic values, general physical fitness, technical efficiency, specific capacity of the organics tactical skills and competitive experience are some of the principle factors, which influence results attained by sports person. The present state of competitive sports that is the peak performance of large number of sports persons in great majority of sports disciplines came close to the prevailing world is a proof that great performed in sports is no larger a primarily question of available facilities and even less, often the results of purely individual effects. But the out come of deliberately planned scientifically based advanced training techniques, designed to improve the standard of performance. Now it has became a necessity to identify and select a future elite athlete in right in childhood or adolescent it takes may years of intensive regular training till an international sports performance is levels achieved. Each individual or team which participate in any sports participates in any sports events wants to win because society attached great significance to winning according to Renwas (1972) "Performance is the key note of all sports-its basic principle. Since sports have because a prestigious aspect to prove one's superiority the philosophy of participate in games & sports has under gone a great change" sports are in any form of playful competition whose outcome is determined by physical skills, strategy or chance employed hand ball is no exception and also has been considered as games & sports as it involves competition use of physical skill and strategy hand ball game in the sense is defined here. HAND BALL For the first time, this game was played between European countries. Then international Hand Ball Federation was established in 1928 at Amsterdam. Eleven countries were members of this Federation and its president was Mr. Brundez. In 1928, Olympic committee gave its permission to play this game in Olympics for the first time in 1934. Twenty five countries were affiliated members of the International Hand Ball Federation. Now a days, more than 50 countries are playing this game. In present time, rules of this game are changing very fast. This game has become very fast. Now 7 players play in a team. Its ground is small and can also be played in indoor ground. As far as the history of Handball is concerned, it has been played in different forms and under different names_ having some similarities of HAZANA TOR BALL and HAND BALL. The formal shape of this game was given by Prof. Vactor Karas in 1905, who gave the formal rules of Handball which were similar to what were introduced by Prof. Hedger Neilson in 1896. In 1907, Neilson organized competitions and elaborated the rules of the game and he also recommended the formation of its Federation. The first international competition for men and women was held in 1925 and 1930 in Vienna & Austria respectively. In the beginning being running oriented game, it came under the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) which organized many minor sports in Europe at that time. In 1926. 173

IAAF appointed special committee representing the countries where Hand ball was played to set up standard rules for this game. At present, International Amateur Handball Federation is the only ruling body throughout the world. Handball came to India in the year 1971. The first National eleven-a-side Handball Championship (Men) was held at Rohtak (Haryana). Seven-a-side Handball started in India in 1976 following the latest rules of the game. India toured China in 1979 and Germany in 1982. Indian team participated in the Asian Games in 1982. At present, India is an upcoming country in Handball and had been participating regularly. Indian Handball Federation has been organizing National level competition in Juniors and Seniors for both men & women. Handball is a game which demands high standard of physical fitness and mastery of techniques and excellent coordination. As the game gained popularity and spread all over the country, girls also looked up with almost same enthusiasm and gusto as boys did. The pleasure and thrill that the game provides have attracted the people of all classes to play Handball or witness the game all over the world. The Handball has got various fundamental skills like player's stance and ball holding, passing, dribbling, shooting, rebounding, pivoting, screening and individual defense. MOTOR ABILITY AND PERFORMANCE The concept of motor ability or motor fitness is the same term and counted both as an exclusive one although. It has been studied extensively ever the past several years several factors associated with the development of skill has erroneously been referred to as physical fitness components. It should be kept in mind that only these factors that relate to the development of health and increase functional capacity of the body should be classified as physical fitness components only those that are necessary for skillful performance of an activity should be classified as motor ability components motor ability and physical fitness both develop through movement and contribute to each other motor ability is directly related to physical fitness and also helps achieving ideal fitness. Martin (1979), Mathew (1981), Hirtz (1985), Harre (1986), Meinel and Schanbal (1987) described motor fitness like motor ability is gauged by performance made up of many elements that are relatively static and enduring in contrast to the factors which Copper more dynamic and changeable. It is heavily weighted with endurance strength, flexibility and power. The dominant abilities would be enduring and persist ever a long period at time since they became a part of muscle. All the factors mentioned under the components of movement concern with motor ability. Each contributes interdependently in the successful performance of fundamental skills in hand ball. Johnson and Melson (1982) motor performance can be defined as a capacity to performance motor skills and qualities make up majority of motor performance test pattern include speed, power agility reaction time hand eye coordination balance and other physical fitness parameter such as endurance strength etc. far example.

SPEED It is one of the essential components in hand ball to shoot and to travel from one corner to the fore court. It also depends on reaction time which a players move to score to the opponents and in the same way he is reacting on the return from the opponent court. Speed directly influences the capacity of hand ball player to exert the maximum force in the shortest possible time. Cratty and Hution (1969) "speed is designed as capacity of individual to perform successive movement of the same pattern at a faster rate". It is also designed as the rate of change of position mean the ratio of distance travelled and the elapsed time. POWER It is a capacity to release the maximum force in shortest time quickly. A power player is not only strong but generates the force quickly. The hand ball player making a powerful shooting or power of legs when jumping to words for an attack and also available to clear the court from the back rear court. The power is also known as strength ability of the player is during the use of power in shooting, throwing & passing. The players are used to have fall strength their body muscles of both lower and upper extremities. Mathew (1970) defined power is the individual capacity to exert maximal muscular force to perform a specific job. The ability to activate maximal muscle fibers for forceful contraction. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE This is ability to use localized muscle groups of wrist, forearm, shoulder and leg. However, the game does not require one size movement as in golf for example where there is an adequate interval before the next swing. The same and other similar movement have to reported many kind and of to mean a hand ball match. Kennath et al (1993) endurance is the result of physical capacity of an individual to sustain movement over a long group & muscles can exert against a resistance for a prolonged period. FLEXIBILITY This is the ability to move the body through a wide range of position. It is an ability to execute movement with large amplitude. Fakashinma (1981) flexibility is defined as the degree one is able to move the just of body thrust complete range of motion. AGILITY It is an ability to change direction accuracy and quickly while moving rapidly It is obviously necessary for successful hand ball player. The sudden change of direction the twisting and rapid running and forward running backward are the hall marks of quality players are simply example of agility.

Robert (1993) flexibility and agility are considered one's ability to change direction of the body or body parts swiftly and accurately. It is functional capacity of joints to more through a full range of movement. REACTION TIME It is the taken time between the initial perception of the stimulus and the players first muscular movement in response for example. The player is reacting on the movement of the opponent and in the same he is reacting on the ball from the opponent in the same way. To meet this requirement the player is reacting through his action on the players and ball direction is know as reaction time. For several years physical fitness elements and motor ability of the players were considered as general motorability. The coaches trainers and physical educationists also believe in the same way. In an effort to avoid confusion between term motor ability general motor ability and motor fitness. The investigator has collected the literature which will clear the concept of motor ability or motor fitness with physical fitness. ANTHROPOMETRY It is a measurement for assessment of physical status was expected quite naturally to include consideration of body types and relation of physical to one's health, immunity from disease, positives physical performance and personality qualities. Presently anthropometry considers individual differences, appraises each subject relative to his structural difference and determines his potentialities in the light of these structural characteristics. Measurements of body which include in size, weight, limb length width and circumferences. There specific measurements of the segments reveal the relationship between anthropometry and performance. These body segments help the top sports persons perform in aid require for the particular performance. Accordingly the body segments have a significant place in the body field of sports activities and incorrect body proportion may lead to bad performance. The physical fitness performers such as speed, agility, flexibility, stamina and endurance help a sports person to make size and shape of the body to perform high skill the game. The parameters accommodate physical proportion and physical efficiencies. Human performance is a combination of may variables and one of them is the structure of body. All of the above factors that are age related what is perfect from for less tall, well built, motivated and dedicated players may prove inadequate as they, mature into fine players. All it can be said that in the light of the fast growing realization of the importance of the hand ball game and its contribution to the well being and fitness of human in general performance in total sports and further development of participates especially motor fitness and its components, anthropometric traits related to hand ball game. It is the right of the spirit to take up the study concerning relating with playing ability motor ability and anthropometric variables. METHODOLOGY In the present investigation 120 male hand ball players belonging Haryana were selected as subjects of the study. Which was planned to analyze the motor ability (Motor fitness) anthropometric variables (Physique) and the status of playing ability. The investigator has tried to find out the relationship among these variables and playing ability. In this study the playing ability is a dependent variables anthropometric measurements and motor fitness are the factors 176

which effect the performance of hand ball players became the independent variables of the study and relationship among these variables with performance. The investigator has also tried to find out the combined effect of these variables on the playing ability of male hand ball players. The investigator has examined the playing ability of each players by the judges rating scale. After rating observation all the players appeared for following anthropometric measurements and motor ability test applied to collect data. ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES Age, Weight of body Linear Measurements (Girth) Upper arm, fore arm, thigh and calf circumferences Bone Diameters Elbow, wrist, knee, ankle Skinfold Measurements Biceps, triceps, sub scapular, suprailic, thigh and calf skinfold. Motor Fitness Components Speed, strength, endurance, agility abdominal strength, explosive power. To examine the combined effect, the investigators has visited 120 male hand ball players into four groups according to their level of performance i.e. inter college, state intervarsity and national. The grouping was made after examine the performance level given on the prescribe performance and which was duly verified from the record of colleges, universities and district as well as state hand ball association. TOOL USED For collecting data the following tools and instruments were used. To measure anthropometric variables, anthropometor manufactured by Anand Agencies Pune India was used. This is a standard equipment used by research scholar in the various bodies of India. Diameter were taken with the help of vernier caliper and anthropometer compass. The "Lange's skinfold caliper" used to measure the skinfold thickness. Standard stopwatch manufactures by according to Swiss Anglo Watch company, standard weighing machine as approved by Govt. of India, standard steel tape (freeman company etc. for measuring the time, body, eight and distance.)

TEST PROCEDURE The team consisting of investigator and four to five co-worker (physical education teachers, hand ball coaches and senior players of hand ball). Contacts the principles of the institution, directorate of sports, district hand ball, association secretary and players given by the institution and coaching center. The purpose of the study was explained to then and ensuring that the subjects (players) will be present in all the test time. At first personal data, regarding name age, level of participation, height and weight were collected with the help of a performa proposed by the investigator. In the first phase the investigator with his penal of judges recorded the overall playing ability of the hand ball players was judged in a competitive game situation organized as a knock out tournaments organized by the investigator with in the help of District Hand Ball Association of Rohtak, Sonepat, Faridabad, Hissar, Jind, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Panipat, Yamuna Nagar, Ambala and Bhiwani etc. The players were being observed rating by giving A (5) Excellent B (3) Good and C (1) fair. The rating scale was converted to numerical data for statistical treatment and after the judging the playing ability of male hand ball players the investigator with the help of his team colleagues coaches and players measure the anthropometric measurement in the second phase. In the third and final phase, the motor ability was measured with the help test battery items given in the above para and collected the data accordingly.

STATISTICAL DESIGN The study has been divided in two parts and in these parts analyse. The relevant data the investigator has collected and has used the following techniques of statistical tools :

To interpret the relationship between anthropometric variable and motor fitness components were established for method of co-efficient of correlation. The multiple correlation were computed to make prediction for the performance in hand ball playing ability with anthropometric measurement and motor fitness. The multiple regression equation were competitor using Wherry Doo little method to find out the combined effects for the prediction of playing ability.

To confirm the combined effect of two independent variables ones the dependent variables, the subject was divided into four groups and their data of anthropometric measurements, and motor ability test were computed and applied. The technique of analysis of variance (Anova) were applied to know the combined effects on the hand ball players. The level of significance to check the relationship and combined effect was set or 0.01 level. Which was considered appropriate for the purpose of this study because the present research process did not invoice highly statistical equipments demanding the application of the move stringent level of significance. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA The mass of data collected in accordance with the research methodology presented in earlier photographs, the findings of the study were obtained after analyzing and interpretation of data. The main objectives of this study were to examine the anthropometric variable and motor ability. For this the investigator has taken 120 hand ball players of Haryana and their playing ability were judged under the game situations and to find out the relationship of playing ability to anthropometric variables and motor ability component. The study was divided in to two sections. In section, the motor fitness components and performance in hand ball game multiple correlation and regression equation were computed to make prediction for the performance in hand ball, playing ability of male hand ball players of Haryana. In the second section the investigator has to examine the combined effect of anthropometric variables and motor fitness components on playing ability of male hand ball players. The players were divided into the four groups on the basis of their previous performance as recorded by the investigator the mean, SD and analysis of variance (Anova) techniques to find out the combined effects on the performance of hand ball players. The analysis of data on 120 male hand ball players and their analysis, discussion of findings and testing of hypothesis are presented below :

suggests that combined effect of these variables taken together improve the performance of hand ball players. In hand ball players ability of male hand ball players body weight, leg length, upper arm and calf circumference, wrist diameter, muscular strength and explosive power have greatest loading in the regression equation followed by remaining anthropometric variables and motorfitness components. It is also observed from the table that age, weight, height, leg length, upper arm, forearm and calf circumference, diameter of elbow, wrist knee and ankle have significant and positive correlation at 1% level with performance of playing ability of hand ball players. Further leg length and skinfolds of biceps, triceps, sub scapular, superailic, thigh and calf have negative correlation at 1% level with the players ability where as the calf circumference has not significant at 5% and 1% level of significant. In hand ball the proper application and use of upper limbs, lower limb of whole body plays a crucial rate. The lower limbs of the body with the strongest muscles always help the human body to make a proper balance and movement in the required situation. The upper body helps the lower body to make strongest movement in the playing situation of hand ball game similarly height and weight. Which are the factors of the linear growth of the body make significantly to the prediction of the playing ability of hand ball game. It may be noted that tallest hand ball players in the present study 5.9% which by India male height standard is fairly good height is a paradoxical factors for hand ball players providing leverage and force in executing the shooting in hand ball. However, the liner measurement also need to co-ordinate with the appropriate strength development, the leverage provided by height can only be used to advantage if strength, endurance and power has been demonstrated in this study. The measurements of girth i.e. upper arm forearm and thigh have significant & positive correlation with the hand ball playing ability. It implies that well developed musculature provides explosive strength in jumping movements. Which helps in generating greater force doing the shooting passing and dribbling etc. The measurement of diameters i.e. elbow, wrist, knee and ankle have significant and positive correlation with playing ability of male hand ball players with the development of these diameters the providing better stability to the joint. The joints act as strong circumference, which make the movement fast and efficient, hence the diameters improve the playing ability of male hand ball players. As regards skinfold measurement also found to losses negative significant at 1% level. Which indicates that greater amount of fat percentage to extra body weight and greater body size. Which results is an uneconomical use of force to carry extra weight. This may be denoted to the work and hardness spent by the hand ball players in the field of hand ball ground. The use of maximum speed with agility and flexibility to meet and cover the ground and ball may help to minimize. Fats in the players body hence results indicate these negative correlations of skin fold measurement, which might have not helped towards of the study are supported by conducted by all scientists Parnell (1951), Clark (1951), Tanner (1964), Sondhi (1991) and Chauhan (2005) etc. PART-II Playing ability of male hand ball players & different levels of performance.The present section 2 deals with analysis of data based on playing ability, anthropometric variables and motor fitness components of hand ball players male at four level of their participation i.e. inter 181

MAIN FINDINGS ANTHROPOMETRY VARIABLES IN PLAYING FATHERLY The analyses of the result declare that the anther promoter variables contribute significantly towards the playing ability of Hand Ball players between for groups of male players. Age :- The findings of the study shows that age has a significant contribution in improving playing ability castor (1965) also stationed and reputed on female runner of Mexico Olympic that the Higher performance group in the trade and foiled were higher in their chronically age than the lower performance. This may be denoted that find needed to develop the necessary physical, physiologic at and psychological qualities, whom we basis of higher performance so Higher age also Improve the optimum capacity of Body system studies credit responding system and other physiological condition of the players.

HEIGHT & WEIGHT Height wrong also contribute significantly in Hand Ball playing ability the off mum value for Height and Weight for achieving the optimum performance. The Higher level performance have been formed latter and lighter than the cover level player the taller Height players will have long stride to approval and run doming the game which player a significant Ball is offensive and defensive game.

ARM LENGTH & LEG LENGTH The both sides greater degree of contribution the players ability of Hand Ball. The results indirect that Higher group Hand Ball players are better in both length which helps than to cover the distance with length side and having and advertise for over Hand shunting with better arm length. The longer leg length helps to cover more distance is a shooting period and greater arm length gives positive contribution to the finding of the study reveals the upper arm and fore arm circumferences. The ratio were fond in favour of interment level and National level players. stronger upper extremity is required for faster populisms of the body an Hand Ball game. The study also levels that circumferences of calf mashes of High performance group has greater lean body mass in the region, which help of players to achieve high performance in Hand Ball. The High degree of contribution of thigh circumferences to performance in Hand Ball required. But the result shows that there is no significance of mean value of circumference between the High and low performances group respectively the study also, shows that High performance Hand Ball players have greater thigh circumference of this because of greater thigh musculature which help in generating greater fore in long strong the shot execution. Diameter :- A significant negative relationships of hence diameter was found away all the groups of Hand Ball players. The elbow, wrist and ankle diameter were fount serrate of the 188

sigh. Perforation group when to is compared with there loss performance group. This result indicates that the stronger diameters of elbow, wrist, knee and ankle with greater lean body mass are required in order to perform help in Hand Ball game. Relationship which attain by Hand Ball players. Thus to improve strength and speed of the lag muscles and also strength and another thickness of area bones which is greater in demand in Hand Ball. This also country required change degree of load of landing on knee joint. Stronger Knee joins unable players to boar greater degree of load. The results of this study are pertaining to diameter of body parts & support. The estimated the mechanical advantages. SKINFOLD The high performance group when compact which low performance groups, it has been found to passed signified grant of because, triceps, sub scapular, sacroiliac, high and calf Skin folds the National koel Hand Ball Players have a higher amount. I skin fold that leads I greater fold man. This indicates that National level players having a both skin fold as compared to the lower performance groups. The greater amount of fat percent leads to extra body weightier and greater body size. Which results not effecter use of force the carry extra weight. The greater size in broader dimensioning due to greater fat result in greater degree of result resistant. The resistant help the players to make proper balance on the Mud floor of trip the Hand Ball game. MOTOR FITNESS AND PLAYING ATRIHTY The findings of the study reveals that various motor fitness components such as special (100 yard dash) abdominal strength (Bent knee sit-ups) Muscular endurance (held half push) agility & flexibility (shuttle done) Shoulder strong in (five pound medicine ball put) and expletive power of leg. (Vertical jump) show collective significant towards the performance of Hand Ball players of different level. This can be interpreted through the factor that the various motor fitness components leads to the development of higher level of fitness. SPEED The finding of the study shows that speed has a great significant contribution to improve the playing ability the results of the study pertaining of national level player to move quirkily. Just to perform shooting, shielding and throwing and to travel from Back yard court to goal line of fore ground of opponent. In the Hand Ball playing ability speed is a rate at which player can propel their body and part of the body is required circumstances and through space in the line of the Ball, which are primary movement in Hand Ball. This also help players for preparatory selfmotivation and also referred to once general state of health as speed also indicates reaction, which refers to movement and quickness of player in Hand Ball for playing their different skills such as shooting, holing, dribbling and throwing the Ball. Every players of Hand Ball require better speed work and early reaction of the players in different game situations with the speed of movement player can make good running in the Hand Ball court and also bring him to move quickly to follow the Ball and can more in different corner of the count to play in a correct way with perfect timings.

ABDOMINAL STRENGTH A cursory look at the data indicates the significant contribution in abdominal strength (Dent Knee sit-ups) to improve the playing ability the results of four groups of male Hand Ball players indicate that national & inter university level players are significant greater than the other two groups. This strength make the players more stronger to move in the line of the Ball and make good attempt especially in case of shooting. Throwing, shielding and covering. When the rotation of the body increase the power of the players due to this strength. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE The findings of this study declares that the muscular endurance (hold half push ups) contributes significantly towards playing ability of Hand Ball. From the analysis it is clear that National level players are having stronger Muscular endurance then the other three groups. The endurance in Hand Ball considered as a longer stay, longer raining and covering the Court during the game situation. Specially in the match when two equal status teams are playing. To face this hard duration a players requires a greater amount of energy and energy of body is called endurance of the players. This also help in adopting specifically to improve demand in order to meet the stress for longer period it is a combination of cardio-vascular endurance of the playing in respect of circulatory and respiratory system. Which help the players to adjust and recover from the fatigue effect of exercises or work the endurance has gradually increasing phase means that amount of work more adaptability during training or games situation. AGILITY & FLEXIBILITY This is due of the most important other fitness compounds in Hand Ball. The findings of the study shows that agility & flexibility (shuttle run) has a greater significant contribution to improve the players ability of Hand Ball players. Here again national level players were found significantly better than other three groups it is found that they have better flexibility and agility this is an abilities to change the direction of the body with control and it is an ability of an individual move the body and its parts through as a wide a range of motion as possible without reduce strain to the articulation and muscular attachment. It is also extension and flexion and there is an inter play between the angle of the body in terms of there increase and decrease and its articulation it is also referred as freedom and ease of movement completed with some important implications for a greater safety and injury of the body. These two are the basic requirements as well as foundation basis in every fundamental of the Hand Ball game we requires power of wrist, shoulders movement of leg muscular strength, upper and lower extremities in an action a to make power and speed of movement. This is a coordination of all the parameters of motor ability used in different playing situations of Hand Ball. MAXIMUM STRENGTH & EXPLOSIVE POWER There is a greater degree of contribution of strength of shoulder and explosive power of leg. When players are using these two in shooting, throwing & passing. Analysis of the results shows that national level players were significantly stronger in the strength and explosive power as compares with the other three groups. This helps to perform better in playing ability of hand 190

ball. The strength and explosive power along with other motor ability parameter in co-ordination makes the player faster, stronger and quicker, which are the prerequisite qualities of hand ball players. The both are in variably recognized one of the import factor in the performance of hand ball skill. It is a muscular force exerted against moveable and immoveable objects and its differs from individual to individual players. A certain degree of strength & explosive power are necessary in performing hand ball in all types of fundamental skills. High degree of these two parameters recorded as necessity for greater case of performance. It is also known as work power, which is attached with every fundamentals of the game. This is also known as suppleness muscles to facilitate their muscular action with the maximum resistance to the muscular tissues. It is also known as normal functional capacity also. CONCLUSION The basis of main findings with in the limiting scope of the study the following conclusion were drawn and appeared to be justified as per result obtained. 1.

In anthropomeric measurement the results of the study indicate that higher level of hand ball players appear to be older in age, taller in height, having better and leg length, body weight, diameters, circumference and skinfolds etc. The national and intervarsity level groups were found significantly better statistically in all the selected anthropometric measurement than the lower groups of hand ball players.

2.

On the basis of results. It is found that general trend of the improvement in overall hand ball playing ability of the male player from inter college to state, state to inter varsity and national belonging to Haryana State and its Universities. The gradual increase shows that player have a better playing ability according to the higher level of competition.

3.

The results also reveals that higher level male hand ball players belonging to national and inter varsity had motor fitness parameter like speed muscular strength, endeavour, agility & flexibility strength and explosive power in total motor fitness than the power level groups.

The national level hand ball players appear to have more experienced and having a better playing ability and fundamental skill them other three groups. Any different selected independent parameter, the anthropometric measurements and ability component appears to be more contributing factors in order for priority for better hand ball players.

RECOMMANDATIONS & SUGGESTION On the basis of conclusion drawn in the study the following suggestion and recommendation are made :1.

Similar type of studies can be conducted with female players as subjects and it is recommended that future investigator for further research. 191

The study is very promising especially in contest to the Northern India where hand ball is still in its fancy with regards to state like Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra to the hand ball standards. The investigator in his humble efforts could undertaken to find out significant difference in anthropometric measurement and players. The investigator could not control few factors which might affected the results of the body. The investigator is of the opinion that that future researches in this find can use these results have a better problem related to hand ball. The study may also be conducted with subjects belonging to different state of India and it can also done an comparative basis among the different states. This study can be helpful the coaches physical education teacher advisory bodies, administrators parents, sports preschools and badminton players they selects. Which prepare and select different teams of the state and national teams participating in different hand ball competitions and can provide training accordingly. The investigator himself in his humble submission and also convinced that the he is for from offering the optimal solution but does hope that this analysis combined with some of suggestions listed above may help in establishing an acceptable platform for future work related to hand ball game.
