Volume : I, Issue : IV, May - 2011 RELATIONSHIP OF PONDERAL INDEX, EXPLOSIVE LEG STRENGTH AND SHOULDER ENDURANCE TO PLAYING ABILITY IN VOLLEYBALL : Physical LALIT MOHAN TIWARI Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Purpose: The objective of the study was to find out the “Relationship of
Ponderal Index, Explosive Leg Strength and Shoulder Endurance to Playing
Ability in Volleyball. 30 male Intervarsity level Volleyball players of Lucknow
Christian P.G. College and Lucknow University, studying in Physical Education
classes, aged 20-25 years were selected as subjects. For Ponderal Index, height was
measured against a wall in inches and weight measured in pounds through
weighing machine. For Explosive Leg Strength, subjects were asked for vertical
jump (jump & reach), 3 trials were given and best of them was recorded as score,
measured in inches. For Shoulder Endurance, subjects were asked to perform pushups
and number of push-ups of each individual was recorded. For estimating the
Playing Ability, Brady Volley Test was conducted. The score of playing ability
was the total number of correct volleys in 1 minute. Correlation between playing
ability and each selected variable (ponderal Index, explosive leg strength &
shoulder endurance ) and only explosive leg strength and ponderal Index were
found significant at 0.05 level. Pearson's Product Moment Correlation were
computed to get the value that indicated the relationship of Ponderal Index,
Shoulder Endurance and Explosive Leg Strength with volleyball Playing Ability.
The results shows that Explosive Leg Strength and Ponderal Index of volleyball
players correlates with volleyball playing ability (r = 0.45 & 0.44 respectively)
significant at 0.05 level. The finding of the study also revealed that there is no
significant relationship (r = 0.31) between shoulder endurance and playing ability.
