A critical analysis of selected biochemical variables between University and non University men players of various disciplines

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the selected biochemical variables namely high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein between University and non University men players of various disciplines. To achieve this purpose of the study, thirty men players who represented various games and sports for Annamalai University during the year 2019-2020 and thirty men non players who did not represent various games and sports during 2019-2020 were selected as subjects at random. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 to 24 years. The following bio chemical variables namely high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein were selected as criterion variables. All the subjects were tested on selected criterion variables with standardized test items namely HDL-Cholesterol Precipitating Reagent PEG - PAP Method with qualified lab technician. The collected data were statistically analysed with the independent ‘t’ test to find out the significant difference between university and non university men players of various disciplines on selected biochemical variables. The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the significance, which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study revealed that there was no significant difference in high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein between university and non university players of various disciplines.
