The main purpose of this study was to predict the long jump performance on the basis of speed, agility, height and weight of male athletes. 46 male athletes were participated in present study (mean ± SD; 22.28 ± 1.3770 years). The selected athletes were measured of their speed by 50m dash sprint test (sec.), agility measured by 4 x 10m shuttle run test (sec.) and long jump performance measured by long jump (meter). Pearson product-moment correlations revealed a significant negative correlation of Long Jump performance with speed (r = -0.813, p < 0.05), Agility (r = -0.702, p < 0.05) and weight (r = -0.343, p < 0.05). Multiple correlations revealed that joint contribution of all independent variables to estimating Long Jump performance (R = .847, R 2 =.717), which impales that 71.7% of Long Jump Performance is obtained by these variables (Weight, Height, Agility and Speed). The regression analysis (enter method) outcomes proved that long jump performance can be determined by selected independent variables (F=25.933, p<0.05). Based on the result of present study suitable formula was determined [Long Jump performance = 5.356 -.283 (Speed) -.102 (Agility) + .021 (Height) -.019 (Weight)]. It was concluded that the formula suggested in this study, can be used to determine the long jump performance of male athletes.

The main purpose of this study will be to compare selected physical and physiological variables of kabaddi and kho-kho inter-varsity Players. The sample consisted of fifty male kabaddi and kho-kho central zone inter-varsity Players by simple random sampling method. The selected physical fitness variables are agility, strength and flexibility and physiological variables are systolic and diastolic pressure, hemoglobin (Hb %) and resting pulse rate. The results of t-ratio of it showed significant difference in some physical fitness and physiological parameters of kabaddi and kho-kho intervarsity players. In physiological parameters diastolic pressure showed significant difference between kabaddi and kho-kho players. The diastolic pressure of kho-kho intervarsity players more than kabaddi intervarsity players, which may be due to nature of game and movement which demand more blood volume with greater diastolic pressure but systolic pressure, haemoglobin (Hb%) and resting pulse rate expressed insignificant difference between kabaddi and kho-kho intervarsity players. The research finding of some physical fitness parameters indicated significant difference between kabaddi and kho-kho intervarsity players. The agility and explosive strength expressed significant difference. The agility of kabaddi intervarsity players more than kho-kho players, which due to quick and speedy movement in catching and raid. The explosive strength of kho-kho players higher than kabaddi intervarsity players but Flexibility showed insignificant difference between kabaddi and khokho players.

The Purpose of the study was to find out the comparative effect of Plyometric and weight training on vertical jumping ability. For the present study 24 male students from Department of Physical Education, BHU Varanasi were selected randomly as the subjects for the study. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 -21 years. The variables selected for the present study were Plyometric and weight training (independent variable), vertical jumping ability (dependent variable). For the study pre test -post test randomized group design, which consists of control group (08 students) and two experimental groups (16 students) were used. The data were collected through the pre test, before training and post test, after six weeks of Plyometric and weight training. To find out the comparative effect of Plyometric and Weight Training on vertical jumping ability of the subjects the pre test and post test scores were analyzed by using Descriptive analysis, Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) and LSD test were used, the data analyzed with the help of SPSS (16.0 version) software and the level of significance was set at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the study showed that there was significant difference between pre and post test (experimental group) of Jump & Reach and Approach Jump & Reach. Significant difference was found between adjusted means of Plyometric training and control group, weight training and control group in relation to jump and reach performance (p< 0.05). In relation to approach jump and reach performance significant difference was found between adjusted means of Plyometric training and control group, weight training and control group since the p< 0.05. On the basis of findings of the study it may be considered that Plyometric training could be very much useful method of training for sportsman to improve vertical jumping ability and to retain the same for a longer duration.
