The objective of the study is to analyse “The comparative study on vital capacity of high school volleyball and handball players of Mangalore taluk of Karnataka state. For the study of experiment a test know as spirometry or pulmonary function test has been used. A systematic study and approach was made to collect the data. A spirometer was used to measure pulmonary function test or vital capacity of volleyball and hand ball players. This was used to assess how well player’s lungs work, by measuring air inhale and exhale. The spirometer was also used to diagnose lung capacity and breathing capacity of these players. The result recorded the total lung capacity or vital capacity. Ten Taluk level winners of volleyball and Ten Taluk level winners of handball, belonging to Mangalore Taluk served as subjects for this study. Proper orientation was provided to the subjects prior to the test administration.
