Profile of Selected Anthropometric Variables of Weight Category of -56 Kg to -60 Kg of Top-Class Indian Judokas

The purpose of the study was to prepare the profile of selected anthropometric variables of 20 athletes who had competed at the national level comprised only male players from Madhya Pradesh who were between the ages of 18 and 25 and who were residents of Madhya Pradesh. Each of these athletes was a native of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. All the anthropometric measurements were measured to the 1/10th of the centimeter. Non-stretchable measuring tape were used to measure the length. Results of the study showed that in anthropometric variables sitting height was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Leg length was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Shoulder width was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Upper arm circumference was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Forearm circumference was medium in -56 kg to -60 kg. Chest circumference was lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Thigh circumference lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Calf circumference lowest in -56 kg to -60 kg. Thus, height and skinfold thickness are mostly differentiated between heavier and lighter groups, but bone breadths and circumferences are the primary differentiators between weight categories

Effect of Circuit Training on Physical Fitness of the School Softball Players

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of circuit training on the physical fitness of the school\u27s softball players. Twenty (20) subjects were selected for the study; their ages were 18–19. They attended St. Joseph convent school in Namli Ratlam, M.P. Further, it is subdivided into two groups. Three variables were selected for this study to measure the physical fitness of schoolgirls’ softball fitness, i.e., standing broad jump, sit and reach, and 50-metre sprint. The data was examined by applying the analysis of paired t-tests. The level of significance to test the hypothesis was set at 0.05. Results of this study revealed that there was a significant effect of circuit training on the physical fitness of the school softball players and that it increased their performance at the school level

Development of Discriminant Model for Classifying Sprinters and Throwers on the Basis of Anthropometric and Physical Fitness Variables

In the present study, 100 athletes who competed at the state level was constitute up the sample; only male athletes from Madhya Pradesh in the senior category was included. During the morning and evening sessions, the necessary information on the subject was gathered using the random sampling method. before the National camps and practicing at TT Nagar Stadium Bhopal. The data were collected on anthropometric variables i.e. height, weight, sitting height, (leg, arm, hand) length, shoulder width, (chest, hip, thigh, calf) circumference, (back, shoulder, grip and leg explosive) strength. The anthropometric variables were measured by using selected standardized instruments and measuring tapes. Data collected was analysed at 0.05 level of significance, descriptive statistics and multiple discriminant analysis was applied to classify and predict group membership of the throwers into the sprinters and Throwers. The results showed that 100.0% of original grouped cases were correctly classified

Development of Discriminant Model for Classifying Throwers on the Basis of Anthropometric and Physical Fitness Variables

The purpose of this study was to develop a discriminate model to classify throwers (discus, javelin and hammer) on the basis of anthropometric variables and to predict their group membership based on the developed model. There were 25 discus throwers, 25 hammer throwers and 25 javelin throwers of age group 17-25 selected as subjects. The data were collected on anthropometric variables i.e. height, weight, sitting height, (leg, arm, hand) length, shoulder width, (chest, hip, thigh, calf) circumference, (back, shoulder, grip and leg explosive) strength. The anthropometric variables were measured by using selected standardized instruments and measuring tapes. Data collected was analyzed at 0.05 level of significance, descriptive statistics and multiple discriminant analysis was applied to classify and predict group membership of the throwers into the discus, hammer and javelin. The results showed that 68.0% of original grouped cases were correctly classified and 45.3% of cross-validated grouped cases correctly classified

Effect of plant and animal protein sources on the growth, gonadal maturity and proximate composition of Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822)

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of plant and animal sources in the diet of Labeo rohita with an overall goal of gaining sustainable fish and egg production. Fishes with an initial weight of 310-323 g were fed with five different isocaloric (3Kcalg-1) diets viz. D1 ( control diet- 30% rice bran + 70% groundnut meal), D2 (30% rice bran + 50% groundnut meal + 20% fish meal), D3 (30% rice bran + 50% groundnut meal + 20% mustard meal), D4 (30% rice bran + 30% groundnut meal + 20% mustard meal + 20 % fish meal) and D5 (30% rice bran + 30% soybean meal + 20% mustard meal + 20 % fish meal) @ 3% of fish biomass for 270 days. Significantly higher weight gain and better gonadal maturity was recorded in fishes fed with diet containing fish meal than other. Among diets containing fish meal (D2, D4, D5), fish fed on diet D2 resulted in higher somatic growth (35.67, 42.80, 28.10 and 18.48% higher net weight gain than D1, D3, D4 and D5, respectively) and better gonadal development (43.20, 50.08, 22.59 and 23.25% higher absolute fecundity than D1, D3, D4 and D5,respectively) in L. rohita. Hence, Our study revealed that for higher growth and better broodstock development, L. rohita may be fed on diet formulated with 30% rice bran, 50% groundnut meal and 20% fish meal
