4.1 ANALYSIS OF THE DATA
The minimum and maximum scores obtained and also the range of scores
were calculated and presented in Table: 4.1 to 4.11. The complete data of
Kabaddi and Kho-Kho players were arranged in a way that mean and standard
deviation may be calculated and also the mean difference MD (m1 – m2) and
the calculation regarding ‘t’–test. Each independent variable of anthropometric
variables was tabulated. The tabulation was prepared for each physiological
and anthropometric variables separately. The calculations in connection with ‘t’
– test were also arranged for individual variable wise. The SPSS were followed
to calculate the ‘t’-test. The value of calculated ‘t’-test was compared with the
tabulated significant value at 0.05 and 0.01 level of confidence. The details for
comparative mean value and SD values of Kabaddi and Kho-Kho players were
tabulated and the values of ‘t’-test with various step values were also presented
from Table 4.1 to 4.11.

Kho-Kho 59.38 3.64 238 1.475 8.727**
Kabaddi 72.62 1.07
**Significant at 0.01 levels
The Table: 4.1 represent the significance of mean difference of Kho-Kho
and Kabaddi players regarding their weight. The mean values of Kho-Kho and
Kabaddi players regarding weight were 59.38 and 72.62 respectively. The
calculated ‘t’ value is 8.727 which is significant at 0.01 level of significance as
the tabulated value of ‘t’ is 1.96 at 0.05 level and 2.58 at 0.01 level of
significance. So there is a significant difference in weight of Kho-Kho and
Kabaddi players. The weight of Kabaddi players is much higher in comparison
to weight of Kho-Kho players.
