Article
It has been a long drawn effort of the author to draw attention of the authorities to the importance and emphasis needed to be given to the question of most appropriate talent selection at young age for prospective excellence in sports. Unfortunately non-existence of graduation degree in sports coaching in India and wide spread unawareness, among d...
Article
The anthropometric data of male Montreal Olympic athletes reported by Carter (1982) has been analysed to compute some of the anthrokinetometric variables like arm-links, centres of mass of arm segments and lengths of lever arms in order to study the mechanisms of human kinetics involved in the athletic activities. The results show considerable vari...
Article
The results of two series based on a large number of anthropometric measurements, one on males aged 10-21 years and the other on females aged 20 to 80 years on Jat-Sikh and Bania communities of the Punjab state (India), have been combined to study the processes of maturation and senescence in males and females, respectively. The male sample is cons...

Having no funds to purchase sophisticated equipment to measure human anaerobic power, a simple cheaply made device was constructed based on the principle of the method introduced by Margaria et al (1966). This improvised apparatus consists of two contact pads each having a make and break provision of an electrical circuit with the help of leaf spri...
Article
Aerobic power and body composition of 29 national footballers and 39 hockey players (12 national and 27 state/university level) were studied. The intrasportive differences were examined by dividing the players into various groups according to their respective playing positions in the field. VO2max, lean body mass and body weight are found to vary f...

Maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2 max) was determined in 40 sedentary men aged 17-25 years and in 96 active athletes of the same age participating in 5 different kinds of sport. The V̇O2 max in the sedentary group was found to be 36.8 ± 4.0 (SD) ml.kg.-1 min-1. The results in the sedentary group were found to be lower than those recorded on inactive popu...

We have studied 73, top level Indian sportsmen for VO2 max and heart rates during work and recovery. High negative values of 'r' between VO2 max and heart rate during work and recovery have been observed. Absolute VO2 max, VO2 max/kg body wt/min and VO2 max/kg lean body mass/min are found to play an important role in influencing recovery of heart r...
Article
The anaerobic power, vertical velocity and weight of 76 Indian National players belonging to different games has been measured by using the technique of Margaria et al. (1966). The purpose of the study was to compare the anaerobic power of different categories of sportsmen like athletics, basketball, football and hockey and also to work out the rea...
Article
The study was undertaken to see the effect of hard physical training on certain physiological and morphological parameters of the 15 national basketball players and also to locate the deviations from the normal progression if any during the training period. Training of 4 weeks of duration resulted in the appearance of established symptoms of overtr...
Article
The study entitled 'factors limiting performance of football players on cycle ergometer' was conducted on 13 Indian national football players. The role of excess carbon dioxide in determining the cycle ergometer performance was revealed by significant correlation between E(Co2) production at a sub-maximal work load (140 W) and the cycle ergometer p...
Article
Selected anthropometric measurements and right upper arm radiograms were obtained from 22 throwers and 45 normal non athletic Jat Sikhs of Punjab (India). The results show that the throwers were significantly taller and heavier and had larger circumferential and skeletal measurements in relation to the control sample. Lean body mass was greater in...
