Comparison of Vital Capacity Between Basketball and Handball Players Lokavishkar International E-Journal, ISSN 2277-727X, Vol-04, Issue- 03, July-Aug-Sept 2015 Comparison of Vital Capacity between Basketball and Handball players Krishnakant Assistant Professor HNB Garhwal University,Srinagar Uttarakhand, India ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction Sports are all forms of usually competitive physical activity which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing entertainment to participants, and in some cases, spectators. Usually the contest or game is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a tie game; others provide tie-breaking methods, to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of such two-sided contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a regular sports season, followed in some cases by playoffs. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, each against all with one winner. This is a list of ball games which are popular games or sports involving some type of ball. These ball games can be grouped by the general objective of the game, sometimes indicating a common origin either of a game itself or of its basic idea. If there are a group of games that are very similar and have a common reference, they will be grouped under this main name as for instance bowling, football and hockey. Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet (3.048 m) high mounted to a backboard at each end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, the ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it while walking or running or throwing it to a teammate. Many techniques for shooting, passing, dribbling and rebounding, basketball teams generally have player positions and offensive and defensive structures (player positioning). Traditionally, the tallest and strongest members of a team are called a center or power forward, while slightly shorter and more agile players are called small forward, and the shortest players or those who possess the best ball handling skills are called a point guard or shooting guard. Handball is a team sport in which two teams of seven players each (six outfield players and a goalkeeper) pass a ball using their hands with the aim of throwing it into the goal of the other team. A standard match consists of two periods of 30 minutes, and the team that scores more goals wins. Modern handball is played on a court 40 by 20 meters, with a goal in the center of each end. The goals are surrounded by a 6-meter zone where only the defending goalkeeper is allowed; the goals must be scored by throwing the ball from outside the zone or while "jumping" into it. The sport is usually played indoors, but outdoor variants exist in the forms of field handball and Czech handball (which were more common in the past). The game is quite fast and includes body contact, as the defenders try to stop the attackers from approaching the goal. w w w . l i i r j . o r g ISSN 2277-727X Page 9 Lokavishkar International E-Journal, ISSN 2277-727X, Vol-04, Issue- 03, July-Aug-Sept 2015 Methodology Sixty male players were randomly selected from various teams, with due permission from their respected manager and coaches to become as subjects for this study, who are participating in basketball and handball intercollegiate tournament of H.N.B.G.U., Srinagar Garhwal. Thirty subjects from each basketball and handball respectively were selected for this study, the subject were selected on the basis that they have at least played one match of intercollegiate tournament during the session 2014-15. The independent variable that is vital capacity was selected for the study; vital capacity was recorded with the help of dry spirometer in liters during the respected intercollegiate tournament that basketball and handball. The data for this study was collected during intercollegiate tournament of H.N.B.G.U. To compare vital capacity between basketball and handball players, the independent ‘t’-test was used and level of significance was set at 0.05. Result To analyze and interpret the data collected for reaching at some conclusion, Independent ‘t’ test was applied at 0.05 level of significance in finding out the vital capacity between basketball and handball players Table no. 1 Comparison of vital capacity between basketball and handball players Group Mean Standard Standard Mean t-value Deviation Error Difference Basketball 3.86 0.36 0.101 0.41 4.0596 * Handball 0.42 4.27 * Significant at 0.05 level,‘t’ (df=58) =1.672 Table no.1 shows that there is significant difference between basketball and handball players as the calculated‘t’ value i.e. 4.0596 greater than tabulated t value i.e. 1.672 at 0.05 level of significance. w w w . l i i r j . o r g ISSN 2277-727X Page 10 Lokavishkar International E -Journal, ISSN 2277 -727X, Vol -04, Issue - 03, July-Aug -Sept 2015 Graphical representation of means of basketball and handball Players has been presented in figure -1 4.5 4 3.5 3 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 Basketball Handball Fig.no.1: Mean Value of Vital Capacity between basketball and handball players Discussion of finding and conclusion s Findings of th is study show that there was a significant difference in the vital capacity, positive between basketball and handball players . The handball players have better vital capacity than basketball players. This may be attribute to the nature of selected games dema nds a high degree of endurance capacity in handball game as compare to basketball as the game of handball is of 30 minute (each half), whereas the basketball game is of 10 minute (each quarter) , the handball player run more without having rest in between, during four quarters a basketball player get time to recover and catch up his breath and respiratory system plays a vital role in endurance dominating sports. Vital capacity is important for handball game in comparison to basketball becau se the greater vital capacity means greater capacity of individual to inhale air into lungs as well as efficiency of exhale. As per nature of the game this is well known fact that handball playing area is bigger than basketball, both the game do requires d ifferent kind of lungs capacity to perform various movements in their respective game .

  • Kho-Kho, and Volleyball Are Explained
    TEAM GAMES 5 Any game which provides opportunities to two or more players working together towards a shared objective is called a team game. A team game is an activity in which individuals are organised in a team to compete with the opposing team, in accordance with a set of laws/rules to win. Games like Basketball, Cricket, Football, Handball, Hockey, Volleyball, etc., are some of the classic examples of major team games. However, over a period of time, the popularity of team games has grown continuously. These games have positively influenced not just the players, but also their fans, local and national economies. All over the world, the impact of team games can be seen resulting in professional players to live out their dreams. Star players have become role models to youth. Young athletes/players develop life skills which are followed as footsteps of their role models. In this chapter, some of the team games like Basketball, Cricket, Football, Handball, Hockey, Kabaddi, Kho-Kho, and Volleyball are explained. BASKETBALL Basketball is a team game played between two teams of five players each, on the court. Very high amount of energy (calories) expenditure is there in this game. It also helps in building bone and muscle strength and boosts the immune system. This game also develops self-discipline and concentration among young players. History Basketball originated in the United States of America and was invented by Dr. James Naismith in December, 1891, who was a Physical Educator at the International Young Men’s Christian Association Training School (YMCA) (now known 2021-22 Chap-5.indd 129 31-07-2020 15:27:24 130 Health and Physical Education - XI as Springfield College of Physical Education) in Springfield, Massachusetts.

  • Physical Education Department
    3º ESO - PE Workbook - IES Joan Miró – Physical Education Department HANDBALL A bit of history Games similar to modern team handball have historically been played in many different cultures around the world. We know that the ancient Greeks and Romans played a type of handball, and handball was also played by the Inuit in Greenland and the French in Europe as early as the Middle Ages. Team handball as we know it today developed in northern Europe by the end of the 1800s. It was especially popular in Sweden and Norway. Handball was first played with 11 players on each team, like football, although the game is played with the hands instead of the feet. The two sports shared the same playing field and even the ball was the same. In 1938, handball became a game where two teams of seven players competed on a 40 x 20 m court. Modern handball is usually played indoors, but outdoor variants exist in the forms of field handball and beach handball (also called sandball). CHARACTERISTICS Objective To put the ball in the goal of the opposing team. The team that scores the most goals wins. Playing area The dimensions of a handball court are 40 x 20 m. Duration Two 30 minute halves, with a 10 minute break at half-time. Players The team has 12 members: 7 players (6 field players and a goalkeeper) and 5 reserves. Substitution of players can be done in any number and at any time during game play. Ball Different size and weight balls are used for men, women, beginners, children, youth and junior categories.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Team handball is a team game and is played popularly by the worldwide nations and is recognized by the International Olympic Association. It is also played professionally in many European countries. In Asia, including India this game has become significant among other popular games. Today Handball is played in 183 countries. There are 31 million players, trainers and referees worldwide. Handball is also known as team handball, field handball, European handball, or Olympic handball. It is a team sport where two teams of seven players each (six players and a goalkeeper) pass and bounce a ball trying to throw it in the goal of the opposing team. The game has a goal similar to but smaller than the one in football (soccer) though as the name implies, the basic method of handling the ball involves the players' hands rather than their feet. The game has been played internationally since the 1920. Dimensions of a field of handball played with 11 players at 1936 Summer Olympics compared to a football field there are also records of handball-like games in medieval France, and among the Inuit in Greenland, in the middle Ages, and in Ancient Africa, primarily Egypt. By the 19th century, there existed similar games of handhold from Denmark, hazena in Bohemia and Slovakia, gandbol in Ukraine, torball in Germany, as well as versions in Ireland and Uruguay The team handball game as we know it today was formed by the end of the 19th century in northern Europe, primarily Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden.

  • Team Handball Packet # 26
    TEAM HANDBALL PACKET # 26 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity and relates to its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and appreciation of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Team handball is played by two teams of seven players each (1 goalkeeper and 6 court players). The object of the game is to throw the ball past a goalkeeper into the opponent’s goal. HISTORY OF THE GAME Team handball is very popular in much of the world, but little known in North America. even the name is confusing even to a North American who knows quite a bit about sports. The modern game actually grew out of three sports that were developed, independently, in three different European countries: The Czech Hazena, the Danish Handbold, and the German Torball. All three were based on soccer, but essentially replaced the foot with the hand, so that the ball could be advanced by batting or throwing, rather than by kicking. Hazena was being played by Slovaks as early as 1892; its rules were first set down in 1906, by a college professor. Handbold (the Danish word for handball) was developed in 1898 by a teacher, Holger Nielsen, as an alternative to soccer. In 1906, Nielsen revised the rules considerably and Physical Education Learning Packets #26 Team Handball Text © 2008 The Advantage Press, Inc. began organizing competitions outside the school at which he taught.
