Abstract The purposc of the present study was to see the comparative difference between the selected motor and respiratory variables among attackers and defenders of female football players of LNTPE. For the purpose of the study 10 attackers and 10 defenders age ranged from 18–25 years, of footba ll match practice were selected as subjects. Keeping the feas ibility criterion in mind, selected Motor variables i.e. Static Balance, Range of motion, Reaction Time, Coordination and Propioception and selected Respiratory variables i.e. Vital capacity and Peak flow rate were selected for the present study. It was assessed with the help Sensobalance. Dry Spirometer and Peak expiratory flow meter. To compare the motor and respiratory variables among attackers and defenders as per their position t-test was used with the help of data analysis software SPSS 20 and the level-of confidence was set at 0.05. The findings of the study showed that the Footballers playing in the different positions in football have not shown significant difference in all the selected respiratory variables. There were insignificant differences in following selected motor variables i.e. Range of Motion, Static Balance, Proprioception & Coordination except Reaction Time which showed significant difference. Top Keywords Static Balance, Range of motion, Reaction Time, Coordination Propioception, Vital capacity, Peak flowrale. Top |
