Dr. Mujahid Ali

Abstract

The study aimed to compare the physical self-concept of volleyball players and Badminton players , involving a total of forty male CBSE cluster level players (20 volleyball players  and 20 badminton players) aged between 16 to 19 years. Data on physical self-concept were collected using a questionnaire developed by Fox (1990). A t-test was employed to assess differences in mean scores between the two groups. Results indicated a significant difference between two groups of volleyball players and badminton players in overall physical self-concept. Significant differences were also observed in sub-variables related to sports competence, body attractiveness, and physical conditioning. In contrast, insignificant differences were found in physical strength and physical self-worth. This distinction was established at a 0.05 level of significance.

Keywords: Volleyball players, Badminton players, Physical Self Concept, Physical Strength and Physical Self-Worth.
