CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
4.1 Introduction
ccording to Best (1992) analysis of data is the heart of the research report. The analysis and
interpretation of data often vary with the nature and purpose of investigation.
"Analysis of data means studying the tabulated material in order to determine the inherent facts
or meanings. It involves breaking down existing complex factors into simple parts and putting the
parts together in new arrangements for interpretations" (Sukhia, 1983).
Interpretation is a critical examination of the results obtained in the study. "The process of
interpretation is essentially one of stating what the results (findings) shows, who do they mean,
what is their significance" (Good, 1954).
The purpose of the study was to analyse and ascertain the effect of selected physical,
physiological and psychological variables of 18 to 25 years old college men Kabaddi players in

Kerala state. To achieve the purpose of the study it is necessary to find out the effect of circuit
training and interval training on selected physical, physiological and psychological variables of
college men Kabaddi players in Kerala. The study was confined with three groups, control group (1)
circuit training group (2) and interval training group (3). The subjects were tested on selected
physical, physiological and psychological variables such as speed, speed endurance, agility,
explosivepower, reaction time, abdominal strength endurance, resting heart rate, vital capacity,
anxiety, self confidence and achievement motivation respectively. The data obtained were subjected
to statistical analysis by applying statistical methods viz, Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Analysis
of co-variance (ANCOVA), Co relation and t’test to find the significant variation of variables in
order of priority to differentiate between the effect of control group, circuit training group and
interval training group separately.
The data obtained on the effectiveness of Circuit and Interval training on selected physical,
physiological and psychological variables of college men Kabaddi players were analysed and the
details of analysis are given under appropriate heads.
4.2 Effectiveness of Circuit training and Interval training on selected physical variables of
college men Kabaddi players.
Inorder to findout the effectiveness of the circuit training and interval training on selected
physical variables such as peed, speed endurance, agility, explosivepower, reaction time, and
abdominal strength endurance of college men Kabaddi players, the collected data were analysed and
the details of analysis of each variable is given below:
4.2.1 SPEED
The pre test and post test scores among control group, circuit training group and interval
training group of college men Kabaddi players in Kerala with respect to level of speed in 50 yard
dash is given in Table 4.1

From the table 4.1 it is clear that in the post test level of speed in 50 yard dash is higher in
interval group (75%) than the control group (50 %)and circuit group(60%).
Effectiveness of circuit training and interval training on speed in 50 yard dash of college men
Kabaddi players.
The pre test and post test scores of the control, circuit and Interval training groups were
subjected to the statistical technique, analysis of co variance to findout the effectiveness of circuit
and interval training on speed in 50 yard dash of college men Kabaddi players in Kerala. The
summary of analysis of variance over pre test(x) and post test (y) scores of players in the Control,
circuit and interval groups taken separately is given in Table 4.2

From table of F ratio, for df (2/57);
F at 0.05 level = 3. 16
F at 0.01 level = 5.00
The F ratio for the pre test and post test scores was tested for significance. Fx value obtained is
0.348 (Fx = 0.348). It is less than F at 0.05 level (i.e., 3.16). So it can be interpreted that the
experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ significantly with regard
to pre testin speed (50 yard dash). The three groups are more or less equal with regard to pre test
scores of speed in 50 yard dash.
The obtained value of Fy is 1.544(Fy = 1.544). It is less than F at 0.01 level (i.e, 5.00).Hence it
can be interpreted that the experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ
significantly with regard to post test in speed (50 yard dash). The three groups are more or less
equal with regard to post test scores of speed in 50 yard dash.
The summary of analysis of co variance of pre test and post test scores of players in
experimental (circuit and interval) and control groups are given in Table 4.3

The obtained value of F is 22.51 (Fyx=22.51). It is greater than the table value at 0.01 level
(i.e,=5.00). This shows that the final mean scores of treatment groups differ significantly after they
have been adjusted for differences in the post test scores of speed in 50 yard dash.

It can be interpreted from the analysis of co variance among adjusted means of experimental
and control groups that there is significant difference between experimental and control groups with
respect to speed in 50 meter dash i.e, interval training group (Myx =6.27) is significantly superior to
control (Myx = 6.45) and circuit training group (Myx = 6.35) with regard to their post test scores.
Comparison of pre test and post test scores of speed in 50 meter dash among the Control,
Circuit and Interval group Kabaddi players
Inorder to findout the significance difference between pre test and post test means of
experimental and control groups, the critical ratio of the pre test and post test scores were
calculated. For this, the mean and standard deviation of the groups were calculated. The data and
the result of the test of significance are given in Table 4.6

The F ratio for the pre test and post test scores was tested for significance. Fx value obtained
0.198 (Fx = 0.198). It is less than F at 0.05 level (i.e, 3.16). So it can be interpreted that the
experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ significantly with regard
to pre test in speed endurance (600 meter run). The three groups are more or less equal with regard
to pre test scores of speed endurance in 600 meter run.
The obtained value of Fy is 10.602(Fy = 10.602). It is greater than F at 0.01 level (i.e,

The pre test and post test scores of the control, circuit and interval groups were subjected to
the statistical technique, analysis of co variance to findout the effectiveness of circuit and interval
training on explosive power (standing broad jump) of college men Kabaddi players in Kerala. The
summary of analysis of variance over pre test(x) and post test (y) scores of players in the control,
circuit and interval groups taken separately is given in Table 4.23

The F ratio for the pre test and post test scores was tested for significance. Fx value obtained
0.13 (Fx = 0.13). it is less than F at 0.05 level( i.e, 3.16). So it can be interpreted that the
experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ significantly with regard
to pre test in explosive power (standing broad jump). The three groups are more or less equal with
regard to pre test scores of explosive power (standing broad jump).
The obtained value of Fy is 2.58 (Fy = 2.58). It is less than F at 0.01 level (i.e, 5.00).Hence it
can be interpreted that the experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ
significantly with regard to post test in explosive power (standing broad jump).

The F ratio for the pre test and post test scores was tested for significance. Fx value obtained
0.42 (Fx = 0.42). it is less than F at 0.05 level( i.e, 3.16). So it can be interpreted that the
experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ significantly with regard
to pre test in abdominal strength endurance (bent knee sit ups). The three groups are more or less
equal with regard to pre test scores of abdominal strength endurance.
The obtained value of Fy is 37.28 (Fy = 37.28). It is less than F at 0.01 level (i.e, 5.00).Hence it
can be interpreted that the experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ
significantly with regard to post test abdominal strength endurance.

The F ratio for the pre test and post test scores was tested for significance. Fx value obtained
0.21 (Fx = 0.21). It is less than F at 0.05 level (i.e, 3.16). So it can be interpreted that the
experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ significantly with regard
to pre test in resting heart rate. The three groups are more or less equal with regard to pre test scores
of resting heart rate.
The obtained value of Fy is 25.20 (Fy = 25.20). It is greater than F at 0.01 level (i.e, 5.00).Hence

Effectiveness of Circuit training and Interval training on general anxiety of college men
Kabaddi players.
The pre test and post test scores of the control, circuit and interval groups were subjected to
the statistical technique, analysis of co variance to findout the effectiveness of circuit and interval
training general anxiety of college men Kabaddi players in Kerala. The summary of analysis of
variance over pre test(x) and post test (y) scores of players in the control, circuit and interval groups
taken separately is given in Table 4.58

The F ratio for the pre test and post test scores was tested for significance. Fx value obtained
0.98 (Fx = 0.98). It is less than F at 0.05 level (i.e, 3.16). So it can be interpreted that the
experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ significantly with regard
to pre testin general anxiety. The three groups are more or less equal with regard to pre test scores
of general anxiety.
The obtained value of Fy is 0.86 (Fy = 0.86). It is less than F at 0.01 level (i.e, 5.00).Hence it
can be interpreted that the experimental groups (circuit and interval) and control group do not differ
significantly with regard to post test in general anxiety.
The summary of analysis of co variance of pre test and post test scores of players in
experimental (circuit and interval) and control groups is given in Table 4.59

It can be interpreted from the analysis of co variance among adjusted means of experimental
and Control groups that there is significant difference between experimental and control groups
with respect to general anxiety i.e., circuit training group(Myx =26.58) is significantly superior to
control (Myx = 30.37) and interval training group (Myx = 26.68) with regard to their post test scores.

The difference between adjusted means (Myx ) of post test scores of players in experimental
(circuit and interval) and control groups is given in Table 4.75

Difference between adjusted means (Myx ) of Control and Circuit training groups =3.134 which
is greater than 1.973 implies that the both the groups differ significantly at 0.01 level. Difference
between adjusted means (Myx ) of Control and Interval training groups =2.979 which is greater
than 1.973 implies that the both the groups differ significantly at 0.01 level and difference between
adjusted means (Myx ) Circuit and Interval training groups =0.155 which is less than 1.973 implies
that the both the groups do not differ significantly at 0.01 level
It can be interpreted from the analysis of co variance among adjusted means of experimental
and control groups that there is significant difference between experimental and control groups with
respect to achievement motivation i.e., circuit training group(Myx =39.69) is significantly superior
to Control (Myx = 36.56) and interval training group (Myx = 39.54) with regard to their post test
scores.

Comparison of pre test and post test scores of achievement motivation among the Control,
Circuit and Interval group Kabaddi players
Inorder to findout the significance difference between pre test and post test means of
experimental and control groups, the critical ratio of the pre test and post test scores were
calculated. For this, the mean and standard deviation of the groups were calculated. The data and
the result of the test of significance are given in Table 4.76

As the p value of the table is less than 0.05, there is significant difference between pre test
and post test scores of achievement motivation among the control group, circuit and interval group
Kabaddi men players of Kerala. From the mean value it is clear that all the group players are seem
to score better in the post test than that of pre test in achievement motivation. This is illustrated in
