Abstract: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of Basketball specific repeated – sprint training on aerobic capacity of male Basketball players. To achieve the purpose of the study thirty male basketball players were selected randomly from Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Yogi veman University, Kadapa. The selected subjects were assigned into 2 groups: basketball specific repeated - sprint training group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The selected subjects mean age: 23.15±3.00 years; weight: 68.74±7.25 kg and height: 176.37±7.67 cm. The criterion variable selected in this study was aerobic capacity which was measured by multistage fitness test.............

Abstract: Measuring individual performance of players in Cricket is vital for team selection. The number runs scored by batsmen and wickets taken by bowlers serve as a natural way of quantifying the performance of a cricketer. Traditionally the batsmen and bowlers are rated on their batting or bowling average respectively. However in a game like cricket, it is always important the situation in which one scores the runs or claims a wicket. Scoring runs against a strong bowling line-up or taking wickets against a team with strong batting line-up deserves more credit..........

Abstract: Background: Adult acquired flatfoot and arch deformities result from disruption of the supporting ligaments as well as from muscle weakness or tightness leading to direct impairments in the arch. But as the condition progresses it leads to various biomechanical alterations within an individual which further hampers the daily functioning of an individual. The purpose of the study was to evaluate and compare the effects of talo-navicular mobilization, low dye taping and faradic foot bath using navicular drop test and arch index in subjects with functional flat foot. Methods: 51 subjects with functional flat feet aged between 18 to 30 years were included. The subjects were randomly allocated, with 17 subjects in each group and were assigned to 3 groups............
