A comparative Study of Aggressive Behaviours in Handball and Volleyball Players

The purpose of this study was to examine the aggressive behaviours that Dharwad district handball and volleyball players displayed during an intercollegiate match. A total of 60 male athletes, aged 18 to 25, were randomly picked from the Dharwad district during the intercollegiate meet held in 2024-2025. Thirty of the participants played volleyball, and the remaining thirty played handball. Anand Kumar and Prem Shankar Shukla's Aggression Inventory was used to measure aggressive behaviour. The significance of the mean difference was ascertained by comparing the mean aggressiveness levels of the two groups using the t-test technique. The results of this study advance our knowledge of the differences in hostility levels among other sports.
