Author(s): Dr. Surjeet Singh
Abstract:
Introduction: The purpose of study was to determine the effect of warming up of different durations on selected physical fitness components of hockey players.
Methodology: 20 male hockey players who participated in intra college tournament and were short listed for inter university coaching camp were selected for this study. The tests items applied in the study were vertical jump, sit & reach, standing Broad Jump (SBJ) and shuttle run. The tests were administered consecutively for 4 days. On first day test was conducted without warm up, on 2nd day after 5 minutes warming up, on 3rd day after 10 minutes warming and on 4th day15 minutes warming up respectively.
Result: The data obtained were examined by one way analysis of variance (anova) and it was found that there was a significant difference in different durations of test administrations. In the Legs power test the subjects have shown better performance after 15 min. warm-up followed by 10 min. warm-up, after 5 min. warm-up, and least performance was shown by the subjects when they performed after no warm-up. Similarly in case of Trunk flexibility test the subjects have shown their better performance after 15 min. warm-up followed by 10 min. warm-up, 5 min. warm-up and shown least performance without warm-up. In case of Agility test the subjects have shown their better performance after 15 min. warm-up followed by 10 min. warm-up, 5 min. warm-up and shown least performance without warm-up.
Conclusion: it was found that the performance increased continuously after each test administered.
