ABSTRACT

Aim: The purpose of the study was to compare the selected physiological v parameters of male and female gymnasts of India. Subjects: The subjects of the study were sixty inter-university  level male (N=30) and female gymnasts (N=30) belong to different cultural background of India.  Variables: The  physiological parameters i.e. Heart rate, Blood pressure (Systolic and Diastolic) and gymnastic performance scores  in competition, have been selected for the purpose of present investigation. Criterion measures: Blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and the heart rate was recorded. Performances scores of each gymnasts was obtained from  the record or the interuniversity competition were chosen as the criterion measures for the study. Instrumentation: Heart Rate was measured bye using stethoscope in resting condition  prior to the competitions and within the 5 minutes after completion of the event with the help of a physician.  Blood Pressure was recorded (systolic and diastolic B. P. ) in resting and within 5 minutes after completion of event  through a sphygmomanometer by the physician. Statistical Analysis: To assess the physiological variables of Inter-university level male and female   Gymnasts, mean and standard deviation t-ratio and Persons product moment correlation  were computed. Results:  Significant differences were observed  between  pre-test and post-test of all  selected physiological parameters for  inter-university level male  gymnasts. Dissimilarity was found between  pre-test and post-test  heart rate   and diastolic blood pressure and similarity in systolic blood pressure of  inter-university level female  gymnasts. Dissimilarity in pre-test systolic blood pressure and similarity pre-test  heart rate and pre-test  diastolic blood pressure  existed among inter-university level male and female gymnasts. Similarity existed among inter-university level male and female gymnasts  in post-test  heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Similar correlations existed between pre-test and posttest  heart rate – performance score followed by systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of inter-university level male and female  gymnasts, Conclusion:  Significant differences were observed among male and female gymnasts of India in their physiological parameters. But there was no effect of physiological parameters on competitive performance of Indian gymnasts.

Keywords: Males, Females, Heart rate, Blood Pressure, Performance, Gymnastic competition.
