Abstract

The purpose of the study was to compare the physical fitness of Volleyball and Handball players of intercollegiate players of Jammu University, Jammu and Kashmir. For this study 15 Handball (Age 20±0.845) and 15 volleyball players (age 21.866 ± 0.833) were selected. Physical fitness variables were strength, endurance, agility, speed, flexibility. The tests taken to measure these were pull ups, sit ups, shuttle run, 50 m dash and 600 m run. Data was analyzed by using t-test independent, level of significance set at 0.05. Analyzed data showed that there was no significant difference sit ups, and 600 m run, but there was a significant difference between the two groups on the basis of Pull ups, shuttle run and 50 M dash run performed by them.
