Abstract:
Chhau dance is one of the oldest familiar Indian traditional dances. To perform this vigorous dance well, one needs top fitness level. Almost all fitness components play vital role in this dance. Thy jumping movement is one of the key factors in this dance where explosive strength plays crucial role. The objective of the study was to compare the explosive strength of the Chhau dancers of different age groups. 600 Chhau dancers were purposively selected from Purulia, West Bengal, India as the subject for the study. They were also purposively divided into three age groups- Group-1: 19to 24 years (n-200), Group-2: 25 to 30 years (n-200) and Group-3: 31 to 36 years (n-200). The variable selected for the study was Explosive Strength which was measured by standard test. Descriptive statistics was done and normality of the data was checked. Thereafter, parametric statistic like Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and LSD post-hoc-test were used. The result revealed that there was significant difference (F-29.395) among the three selected Chhau dancer groups on explosive strength and Group-1 and Group-2 were better than Group-3.
