Comparative study of selected motor and respiratory variables among defenders and attackers in football

The purpose of the present study was to see the comparative difference between the selected motor and respiratory variables among attackers and defenders of female football players of LNIPE. For the purpose ofthe study 10 attackers and 10 defenders age rangedfrom 18–25 years, offootball match practice were selected as subjects. Keeping the feasibility criterion in mind, selected Motor variables i.e. Static Balance, Range of motion, Reaction Time, Coordination and Propioception and selected Respiratory variables i.e. Vital capacity and Peak flow rate were selected for the present study. It was assessed with the help Sensobalance, Dry Spirometer and Peak expiratory flow meter. To compare the motor and respiratory variables among attackers and defenders as per their position t-test was used with the help of data analysis software SP SS 20 and the level of significance was set at O. 05. The findings of the study showed that the Footballers playing in the different positions in football have shown insignificant difference in all the selected respiratory variables as well as selected motor variables i.e. Range of Motion, Static Balance, Proprioception & Coordination except Reaction Time which showed significant difference.
