The main purpose of the study was to frame and compare the Health Related Physical Fitness Parameters (Abdominal Muscular Strength, Shoulder Muscular Strength, Agility and Flexibility) between Badminton and Ball Badminton Inter- College Players of Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University. The subjects for this study was taken 30, in which 15 were Badminton and 15 were Ball Badminton. It was hypothesized that, there will be significant difference in the Health Related Physical Fitness Parameters (Abdominal Muscular Strength, Shoulder Muscular Strength, Agility and Flexibility) between Badminton and Ball Badminton Players of Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University. The analysis of the data was done by applying T-test. The level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. The analysis of data has been presented in the following order Means, Standard Deviations, the range of scores was calculated and represented in tabular form. For testing the hypothesis and to find out the significant differences between the means of both groups, the T-test for independent samples was applied.

The main purpose and aim of the study was to find out and compare the Social Behaviour in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir school going students. The subjects for the study were taken 500 in which (250) were from Kashmir Division and (250) were from Jammu Division. The subjects were selected by using simple random sampling method. Social Behaviour was considered as variable for the present study. The Social Behaviour of two divisions was measured through Standard Questionnaire constructed by M.C. Joshi and Jagdish Pandey which consists of (34 Items). No motivation technique was used while filling the Questionnaire of Social Behaviour by the students of both divisions. It was hypothesized that there will be significant difference in Social Behaviour between Kashmir Division and Jammu Division students. After the collection of data from the subjects through the Questionnaire, the data was analyzed by using statistical techniques ‘t’ test in order to test the hypothesis. The level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. The analysis of data has been presented and applied in the following order i.e. Means, Standard Deviations. The range of scores was calculated and shown in tabular form and graphical form respectively.

The main purpose of the study was to find out and compare the Social Adjustment between Kashmir Division and Jammu Division school going students. The subjects for the study were taken 500 in which (250) were from Kashmir Division and (250) were from Jammu Division. The subjects were selected by using simple random sampling method. Social Adjustment was considered as variable for the present study. The Social Adjustment of two divisions was measured through Standard Questionnaire constructed by R.C. Deva which consists of (100 Items). No motivation technique was used while filling the Questionnaire of Social Adjustment by the students of both divisions (Jammu & Kashmir). It was hypothesized that there may be significant difference in Social Adjustment between Kashmir Division and Jammu Division students. After the collection of data from the subjects through the Standard Questionnaire, the data was analysed by using statistical techniques ‘t’ test in order to test the hypothesis. The level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. The analysis of data has been presented and applied in the following order i,e Means, Standard Deviations. The range of scores was calculated and shown in tabular form and graphical form respectively.

The present study titled “A Comparative Study of Agility and Flexibility between Government and Private School Students of Kashmir” was conducted to measure and compare agility and flexibility of the students studying in government and private schools of Kashmir. The study used comparative cross sectional research design. The study included a total of 100 students, with 50 students from government schools and 50 students from private schools. Agility was assessed by the Illinois Agility Test and flexibility by the Sit-and-Reach Test. Descriptive statistics including Mean and Standard Deviation (SD) were used to analyze the collected data. Independent-Samples t-test was used to determine significant differences between the two groups at the 0.05 level of significance. The results indicated significant difference between the students of government schools and private schools for both the selected variables of physical fitness. Private school students were more agile as evidenced by a lower mean time (18.51 ± 1.28 seconds) compared to government school students (19.24 ± 1.36 seconds) which was statistically significant (t = 2.77, p = 0.007). Also, the private school students had a mean flexibility score of 24.06 ± 3.58 cm which was significantly higher than the government school students (21.68 ± 3.42 cm) with a statistically significant difference (t = 3.40, p = 0.001). Among the selected participants of the study, it is concluded that the private school students showed better agility and flexibility than the government school students. However, the observed differences are unlikely to be due solely to school type as physical fitness may also be affected by physical activity, sports participation, exercise habits and other individual and environmental factors. The findings highlight the need to strengthen regular physical education, sports participation and fitness-oriented activities among school going students in Kashmir.
