Abstract
The purpose of the study was to predict the playing ability in kho-kho from selected anthropometrical, psychological and physical fitness variables. To achieve the purpose four hundred and thirty five kho-kho players were randomly selected from various clubs in Karnataka state, India and their age ranged from 15 to 18 years. The criterion measure of overall playing ability was measured by a panel of experts consisting three persons. The average rating of the three experts on the overall laying ability was considered as the score of subjects. The computation of multiple regression was also used. In multiple regressions, a criterion variables from a set of predictors was predicted. Step wise argument methods of multiple regression was used in this study to find out the predictor variable that has the highest correlation with the criterion variables were entered in the equation depending on the contribution of each predictor. The SPSS 15 version package was used to determine the predictive equation. The prediction formula resulting from multiple regression was basically an extension of the two variables model, Y = a + bx. In this research study there were nineteen predictor variables and hence the following statistical regression equation was used. The step wise multiple regression method was used for the selection of variables. The results revealed that the speed, leg length, cardio vascular endurance, body weight, agility and flexibility become the common characteristics which can predict the playing ability in Kho-kho players.
