Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sleep deprivation on speed and strength. The physical variables Speed and Strength were taken for this study. To facilitate this study forty-five (45) subjects were selected randomly for the study from the Institute of Professional Studies, Group of College, Gwalior (M.P) and their residence was in the institute hostel. Subjects divided into three equal groups namely Experimental Group I, Experimental Group II, and Control Group. The pre-test and post-test were taken before and after the completion of six weeks of sleep deprivation. The significant effect of conditioning was determined through Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The adjusted post-test means were computed by the LSD Post hoc test. Based on the result of this study we can conclude that no significant effect was found on strength and speed due to sleep deprivation.
