Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to compare the selected physical performance variables among trained sprinters and weight lifters. To achieve these purpose twenty trained sprinters and twenty weight lifters from the department of physical education and sports sciences, Annamalai University were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the selected subjects were ranged from 18-22 years. The purpose of the study and the role of the subjects were clearly explained with demonstration To find out the significant difference between trained sprinters and weight lifters in physical performance, descriptive statistics and ‘t’ ratio was determined. The confidence interval was fixed at 0.05 level of significance. Needed values were taken from the table of correlation coefficients at the 0.05 level of significance for given degrees of freedom. The result obtained from this comparative study of physical performance (speed, agility, explosive power and muscular strength endurance,) between trained sprinters and weight lifters clearly shows that the trained sprinters have better than the weight lifters in respect of speed, agility and explosive power. The result of the study also shows that the weight lifters have better than the trained sprinters in respect of muscular strength endurance.
