| Article Name : | | | PHYSICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES AS PREDICTORS FOR SPEED OF SUB-JUNIOR ATHLETES | | Author Name : | | | Vivek Kumar Singh , Richa Singh | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ISRJ-188 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | Purpose of present study was to develop the suitable equation to predict the speed of sub junior athletes. To keeping this purpose in mind long range of variables from different categories was selected i.e. Physical, physiological, psychological and anthropometric, while the variables were leg strength, back strength, abdominal strength, flexibility, height, weight, leg length, arm length, calf girth, thigh girth, motivation, aggression, self confidence, resting heart rate and vital capacity. Subjects for this study were selected by stratified random sampling method from KVBamrauli, Allahabad. Data for this study was collected during sports camp by application of suitable criterion measures. Product moment correlation and multiple correlation was used to find out the correlation between criterion and predictor variables, while backward linear regression method was used to develop the prediction equation at 0.05 level of significance. According to findings leg strength, back strength, flexibility, height, motivation and vital capacity is found correlated with speed and equation develop on basis of these variables is significant for prediction. Some of variables like leg length, calf girth is not found correlated with speed may due to nature of different sport. May suitable prediction can be done if subjects are selected form on particular sports in large number. | | Keywords : | | - regression
