Assessment of Bio-Motor Ability between Men's University Football Players

Abstract: The purposed of this study was to compare the bio-motor ability between National Sports University (NSU) men’s football team and Dhanamanjuri University (DMU) men’s football team. A total of forty players (20 from each university) were selected, all actively training for the All India Inter-University Men’s Football Tournament for the 2024-25 season and the age of the subject were ranged between 18-25 years. Speed, agility and explosive strength were selected as bio-motor abilities and they were measured through 30m dash, arrow head agility test and standing broad jump respectively. Data were collected and examine statistically using independent samples t-test and the significant level was fixed at 0.05 level. The results showed no significant differences between the two universities in any of the bio-motor abilities tested (speed, agility, or explosive strength). Specifically, p-values for speed (p = 0.176), agility (p = 0.688), and explosive strength (p = 0.054) were all above the 0.05 significance threshold. This indicates that the players from both universities displayed comparable physical attributes in the measured parameters. The findings of the study concluded that there were no significant differences between the NSU and DMU men’s football team on selected bio-motor ability.
