Study of circadian rhythm and seasonal variation on selected motor fitness physiological components and coordinative abilities of national level cricket players

Abstract

Purpose of present study was to find out the Study of Circadian Rhythm and Seasonal Variation on Selected Motor Fitness Components, Physiological Components and Coordinative Abilities of National Level Cricket Players To achieve the objectives of present study hundred male national level cricket players of 18-27years of age group were selected from Punjab. All players were the members of the cricket match practice group. These subjects were selected randomly from the cricket match practice group. Motor fitness components, physiological components and coordinative abilities were checked of hundred male cricket layers of Punjab. To find the study of circadian rhythm and Seasonal variance on speed of cricketers 2×3 factorial group design was used. To find the effect and interaction of independent variable i.e. circadian rhythm and seasonal variance on speed Two-Way Repeated ANOVA was used. Findings of the study reveal that circadian rhythm has significant effect on Motor Fitness Components, Physiological Components and Coordinative Abilities of National Level Cricket Players is significant at 0.005 level of significance, while there was no significant effect of Seasonal variance on speed and differentiation and rhythm ability. Findings also suggest that Seasonal variance and circadian rhythm both has combined effect on speed of cricket player. Hence while preparing training for cricket players to improve their speed ability circadian rhythm and seasonal variance should be considered as important factors to regulate. newline
