This study aimed to investigate the evaluation of body mass index and resting metabolism of sedentary and active elderly men from Punjab, India. Methods: Participants (N = 180) of the sedentary group (N = 90) and active group (N = 90) elderly people from Punjab were selected to act as study subjects. The study was delimited to sedentary and active male elderly, recruited between 60 and 70, 71 to 80 and 81 to 90 years, respectively. Results: The results of the studies in both variables found that there was a statistically significant difference in both variables with p-value of body mass index 0.02 (P <0.05) and p value of resting metabolism was 0.03 (P <0.05) of active and sedentary male elderly adults. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study revealed that, for people who practice moderate or vigorous physical activities, body mass index and resting metabolism change with aging.

The present study was aimed to indentify the role of Sport Imagery in performance of basketball players. For this purpose, sixty female basketball players of 19 to 25 years of age were selected. They were divided into three groups; (i.e., N 1 =20; District, N 2 =20; State and N 3 =10 National). To determine level of Sport Imagery among subjects, Sport Imagery Questionnaire, constructed by Hall et al. (1998) was administered. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to compare the three groups of basketball. For testing the hypotheses, the level of significance was set at 0.05. Conculdingly from the findings that we can say that significant differences were found among female basketball players (District, State and National) on the sub-variables of Sport Imagery.
