Estimation of KHO-KHO Performance on The Basis of Selected Coordinative Abilities

The purpose of the study was “Estimation of kho-kho performance on the basis of the selected coordinative abilities.”

for the present study the subjects were selected from different colleges of Kumaun University, Nainital, Uttarakhand. Total seventy two male subjects were selected by using purposive random sampling technique. All the subjects (kho-kho players) were going to be participated in inter-college tournaments of Kumaun University, Nainital. The age of the subjects were ranged from 18 to 25. With the help of experts researcher could have select coordinative variables namely: Reaction Ability, Rhythm Ability, Differentiation Ability and Orientation Ability. The Reaction Ability, Rhythm Ability, Differentiation Ability and Orientation Ability variables were tested by using Ball Reaction Exercise Test, Sprint at Given Rhythm Test, Backward Medicine Ball Throw Test and Numbered Medicine Ball Run Test respectively. The data were collected by using standard tools. For this purpose each subject was given two trails and best one trail was taken for the sake of the present study. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Statistical

The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis, Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Step-Wise Multiple Correlation and Regression Analysis techniques.

There was a significant negative relationship between Reaction Ability and Orientation Ability with the kho-kho performance while there was a insignificant relationship between Rhythm Ability and Differentiation Ability. Conclusions: On the basis of the findings it was concluded that Reaction Ability and Orientation Ability both are the best predictors for the kho-kho performance.
