Yoga is a collection of physical, mental, and spiritual exercises that have their roots in ancient India. They are meant to regulate (yoke) and rest the mind while acknowledging an objective witness awareness that is unaffected by the mind (Chitta) and everyday suffering (Dukha). Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism all have different schools of yoga with different practices and objectives, and both ancient and contemporary yoga is practiced all across the world. A total score obtained from a series of standardised tests or subtests created to gauge human intelligence is known as an intelligence quotient (IQ). This study was conducted to check whether the concentration exercises of yoga improve active athletes' mental ability in terms of intelligence quotient or not. For the study, a sample of 30 collegiate athletes (aged 21.5 ± 3.5) was taken. 'A group test of general mental ability questionnaire' by Dr. S. Jalota was taken into account as the dependent variable. A four-week concentration training program, as a treatment, was administered to the subjects. The mental ability test was conducted before and after the completion of the program. The differences in scores were measured by paired samples t-test and the results were computed using IBM SPSS 26 software. The 0.05 level of significance was set for the study. The result showed that there was a significant improvement in the IQ of the participants after the training completion. Additional recommendations for future research were provided.

Keeping in mind the research question "does bowling fast really accomplish the very purpose of bowling i.e., getting wickets?", a study was conducted to reach to a conclusion and factors associated with fast bowling. With the help of online data available on reliable platforms such as cricbuzz.com and ESPN CricInfo, bowlers who have bowled the fastest deliveries were selected. Some delimitations were applied to refine the data. Bowlers' records including overall wickets taken, matches played, and bowling strike rate were considered for the study. These records were compared against the records of the most successful bowlers in international cricket. Further, a few recommendations for future studies were outlined.

In order to address future obstacles, this study attempted to identify the trends, problems, and challenges that are currently present in physical education and sports. Physical Education as a subject has been there in the curriculum for ages. In modern times, it has become one of the highest-priority subjects in India. The importance of physical education has never before been emphasised as extensively as it is today. Physical education (PE) and sports are widely recognised as important, relevant, and required for promoting an active, healthy lifestyle and for addressing the rising obesity rates in the world. Despite the fact that physical education is taught in schools in the majority of countries, children and teenagers have fewer opportunities to engage in physical activity as a result. The interactions between various movement-related behaviours, such as sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity of all intensities, that make up the entire day (24-hour period), have recently piqued the interest of leaders in the fields of healthy active living, public health, and preventive medicine.

A comparative study between professional and amateur medium-fast bowlers was conducted to assess the difference between the standing broad jump Performance of both groups. 40 male participants of the age group 16-19 were selected for the study. SBJ (standing broad jump) was considered the dependent variable. The health status and subjects' willingness to participate in the study was considered prior to the test. For the calculations, independent samples t-test was used with a 0.05 level of significance. Data were computed with the help of IBM SPSS 26 software. The mean performance of professional mediumfast bowlers was found to be 2.26 whereas it was 2.16 for the amateur medium-fast bowlers. On the 0.05 level of significance, the null hypothesis failed to be rejected at obtained t-value = -0.458. It was concluded that there was no statistically significant difference between both groups. Further recommendations were made for future studies.
