Abstract

The aim of the study was to find out the lactic acid formation among players in relation to their types of games. Forty six subjects were selected. The sample were selected through quota sampling technique followed by random sampling selection of the sportspersons. The data was collected from the male Handball, Basketball, Football players of Lovely Professional University Phagwara and Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar. All the subjects had been listed before and after their respective match to analysis the formulation of lactic acid. The objective of the study was to calculate the lactic acid formation among football, handball and basketball players. After the match the lactic acid volume of all players has been recorded as the scores. Lactate scout was used to check the volume of lactic acid. After the collection of data on different variables to know the significance difference Anova and Partial correlation test were employed. The mean difference between handball and football players for lactic acid formation came out to be 0.5, which was not found to be significant at even 0.05 level of significance, which means that these two groups are not having differences in lactic acid formation. The mean difference between the football and basketball players for lactic acid formation came out to be 1.22, which was found to be significant at 0.01 level of significance, which means that these two groups differs in lactic acid formation. The level of significance was set at .05 levels.
