Methodology: Total sixty District Level Male Athletes (N=60) of District purba Medinipur, Pachim Medinipur and Jhargram, West Bengal State were selected at randomly as subjects for the present study. The age limit of the subjects was 18-22 years. All the subjects were district level male Short Distance Runners and Broad Jumpers. They were divided into two equal groups such as Gr. SDR (n=30) and Gr. BJ (n=30). Selected motor fitness components such as speed, agility, leg explosive strength, reaction time and coordination and sports competition anxiety test (SACT) were employed to all the subjects of Gr. SDR and Gr. BJ and all the data were collected from the venues of districts level competitions. The data were analysed by t-test to find out the superiority among Gr. SBJ and Gr. BJ.

Results: The findings revealed that no significant difference was noted between Gr. SDR and Gr. BJ in speed, agility, reaction time and coordination. In contrast, broad jumpers outperformed short distance runners in leg explosive strength. The sports competition anxiety also showed no significance difference in result.

Conclusion: While short-distance runners and broad jumpers exhibit several common performance characteristics, each discipline demonstrates distinct strengths—sprinters showing marginal superiority in speed and agility, whereas broad jumpers excel in leg explosive power. In contrast, psychological factors such as competitive anxiety appear largely consistent across both groups.
