A Correlational Study of Physiological and Physical Fitness Parameters Among Intercollegiate Volleyball Players from Hill and Non-Hilly Areas

Abstract The study aimed to analyze and compare the relationship between selected physiological and physical fitness factors among intercollegiate male volleyball players from hilly and non-hilly areas of the Jammu region. A total of 160 participants, comprising 80 players from each region, aged 18 to 25 years, were included in the research. The chosen variables for assessment were flexibility, speed, heart rate, and body mass index (BMI). Data analysis was performed using independent sample t-tests and point-biserial correlation methods to identify mean differences and the strength of associations between the two regional groups.

The analysis showed no meaningful differences between players from hilly and non-hilly regions in terms of flexibility (t = 0.6357, p > 0.05), speed (t = 0.2052, p > 0.05), or body mass index (t = 0.1999, p > 0.05). In contrast, a significant variation was observed in heart rate (t = 2.9648, p < 0.05), with non-hilly players recording higher average heart rates than players from hilly areas. Furthermore, correlation results revealed only weak and statistically insignificant relationships between the players’ region of residence and the measured variables (r values ranging from 0.015 to 0.228).

The study indicates that, apart from heart rate, the type of geographical terrain—whether hilly or plain—has little effect on the physical and physiological fitness levels of intercollegiate volleyball players in the Jammu region. These outcomes emphasize that uniform training practices and athletes’ adaptability to their environments contribute to maintaining comparable fitness standards across different terrains.
