Abstract
The present study was carried out on 50 shooters of different rifle shooting clubs of Hooghly district of West Bengal, India. The purpose of this study is to reproduce the baseline anthropometric and physiological parameters of rifle shooters of West Bengal. The comparative study reveals that max. O2 consumption (VO2 max.) values of shooters of the present study are lower than international standards for VO2 max of swimmers, runners, footballers, basket ball players and soccer players but they are very close to that of weight lifters, shot putters and discus throwers and also their non-athlete counterparts. Significantly higher grip strength values have been observed when compared with the normal adult Indian males and females of the same age category. Female shooters have significantly higher anaerobic power values in comparison to their non-athlete counterparts although male shooters have lower anaerobic power values in comparison to the adult non-athlete boys of West Bengal. Breath holding time of male shooters of the present study is lower than shooters of Jat Bttalion of Punjab, India, but an insignificant difference in breath holding time has been observed between male and female shooters of the present study.
