A COMPARISON OF VO2 MAX, PEAK INSPIRATORY FLOW RATE AND MAXIMUM TIDAL VOLUME OF FOOTBALL AND HOCKEY PLAYERS OF HIMACHAL PRADESH UNIVERSITY

In this study the researcher attempt to investigate the comparison VO2 Max, Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate and Maximum Tidal Volume of Football and Hockey players of Himachal Pradesh University. To solve the purpose of the study 128 football players and 128 hockey players of Himachal Pradesh University were taken as the sample. The vo2 max calculate by the formulae which is taken from the book “Physiological Assessment of Human Fitness” 2nd Edition from page no.25. The editors of this book are Peter J. Maud and Carl Foster. This formula is also used by Jackson ET. al (1990) and Mathews, Hell, Freedson and Pastides (1999) to assess Physical Activity Status (PAS) to estimate and for Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate and Maximum Tidal Volume a Spirometer Model-Helios 401 (company-Recorders & Medicare Systems Pvt Ltd) is used. There will be no significant difference in the variables VO2 Max, Peak Inspiratory Flow rate and Maximum Tidal Volume among football and Hockey Players of Himachal Pradesh University, hypotheses was formulated for the present study
