Abstract:
Overt aggression among handball players was evaluated on the basis of their level of participation. For the purpose of this study it was decided to select 20 national male handball players (Average age 26.12 years), 20 state level handball players (Average age 23.91 years) and 20 district level handball players (Average age 22.18 years). Purposive sampling technique was used while selecting sample for this study. Aggression inventories with sub-factors namely assault, indirect aggression, irritability, negativism, resentment, suspicion, verbal aggression and guilt respectively was used for data collection. This inventory is prepared by Sultania (2006). Results reveal that overt aggression in state and district level male handball players was significantly higher as compared to national level handball players. It was concluded that controlled aggression is the key aspect for performance in handball.
