  • COMPARISON of SELECTED SKINFOLDS BETWEEN TRIBAL and NON-TRIBAL MALE PLAYERS of HIMACHAL PRADESH Dr
    INDIAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION, SPORTS AND APPLIED SCIENCE, VOL9, NO 2, April, 2019 Available Online www.sportscientistsviews. com Journal DOI-05-2016-44975451 Scientific Journal Impact Factor-4.917 COMPARISON OF SELECTED SKINFOLDS BETWEEN TRIBAL AND NON-TRIBAL MALE PLAYERS OF HIMACHAL PRADESH Dr. Hari Singh1 & Dr Lakshmi Tara2 Affiliations: 1 Department of Physical Education, Himachal Pradesh. University, Summerhill, Shimla-5, Himachal Pradesh. [email protected] 2 Village & P O-Lippa District-kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh ABSTRACT The present study has been conducted on 300 players with an aim to find out the difference in selected anthropometric variables i.e. skin-fold between tribal (n=150) and non-tribal (n=150) male senior secondary school players of Himachal Pradesh. Tribal sample were taken from the two tribal district i.e. Lahaul- Spiti and Kinnaur and two tribal tehsil i.e. Bharmour and Pangi of Chamba district in Himachal Pradesh. Non-tribal sample were taken from the three districts i.e. Hamirpur, Bilaspur and Una of Himachal Pradesh. Each player was tested for various skin-fold measurements necessary for estimation of biceps skin-fold, triceps skin-fold, forearm skin-fold and sub-scapular skin-fold of tribal and non- tribal players. To analyze the difference in selected skin-fold of two groups of tribal and non-tribal players were determined through ‘t’ test. From the findings, it has been found that non- tribal players possessed significantly greater triceps skin-fold and forearm skin- fold than tribal senior secondary school players. In biceps skin-fold and sub-scapular skin- fold also non-tribal players possessed slightly greater mean value than tribal senior secondary school players.

Deodhar* Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad Abstract In April 2008, BCCI initiated Indian Premier League, a cricket tournament of Twenty-Twenty overs to be played among eight domestic teams. Team owners bid for the services of cricketers for a total of US$ 42 million. Not much is known about how the valuation of cricketers might have occurred. Given the data on final bid prices, cricketing attributes of players, and other relevant information, we try to understand which attributes seem to be important and what could be their relative valuations. We employ the bid and offer curve concept of hedonic price analysis and econometrically establish a relation between the IPL-2008 final bid prices and the player attributes.

  • A Hedonic Model of Player Wage Determination from the Indian Premier League Auction: Further Evidence
    A Hedonic Model of Player Wage Determination from the Indian Premier League Auction: Further Evidence# Liam J. A. Lenten, Wayne Geerling* and László Kónya School of Economics and Finance La Trobe University Abstract A range of cross-sectional models are estimated with a view to establishing the factors that determine the valuation of professional athletes in a highly-specialised sport, with an application to cricket’s Indian Premier League (IPL). We distinguish between personal characteristic and playing ability factors, and with respect to the former, between ability in different forms of the sport. We find a number of interpretable variables that have explanatory power over auction values, while decomposition according to batting and bowling specialisations produces very different results depending on the use of either Test or One-Day International (ODI) variables. There is also possible evidence of inefficient bidding, insomuch that overbidding was somewhat correlated with players with higher realised values. JEL Classifications: C21, D44, L83 Keywords: Demand for Sport, Cricket, Auctions, Cross-section Models, Labour Demand #Earlier versions of this paper were presented at: (i) Economics Society of Australia (Tasmanian Branch), Hobart, 18 March 2009; (ii) Staff Developmental Workshop, School of Economics and Finance, La Trobe University, 23 April 2009; (iii) Seminar, University of Canterbury, Department of Economics, New Zealand, 1 May 2009; (iv) Seminar, University of Queensland, School of Economics, 22 May 2009; and (v) 38th Australian Conference of Economists, University of Adelaide, 28-30 September 2009.

Lenten, Wayne Geerling* and László Kónya School of Economics and Finance La Trobe University Abstract A range of cross-sectional models are estimated with a view to establishing the factors that determine the valuation of professional athletes in a highly-specialised sport, with an application to cricket‟s Indian Premier League (IPL). We distinguish between personal characteristic and playing ability factors, and with respect to the former, between ability in different forms of the sport. We find a number of interpretable variables that have explanatory power over auction values, while decomposition according to batting and bowling specialisations produces very different results depending on the use of either Test or One-Day International (ODI) variables. There is also possible evidence of inefficient bidding, insofar that overbidding was somewhat correlated with players with higher realised values.
