ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to  the selected physical fitness variables between batsman, bowler and all-rounder of inter college cricket players. To achieve the purpose of the study 90 inter collegiate cricket players of Jammu University were selected as subjects. The age group of the subject was between 18 to 26 years. The criterion variables selected for this study were arm strength and leg explosive power. The selected criterion variables were measured by push-ups and standing broad jump tests respectively. In order to find out the differences on the selected physical fitness variables among intercollegiate cricket players of Jammu University one way analysis of variance was applied. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 levels and whenever the ‘F’ ratio was found to be significant scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to find out which paired means got significant difference. Within the limitations imposed by the study it was concluded that there was no significant difference found on arm strength and leg explosive power among batsman bowler and all-rounder of inter collegiate cricket players.

Key words: Batsman, bowler and all-rounder, cricket, arm strength and leg explosive power.
