The compare the physical fitness abilities between Handball and Basketball players mean S.D. and‘t’ test was used. The significance level was 0.05.  Mean different among the groups.  Strength (Dynamic) of arm & shoulder (2.08*), Abdominal muscles strength (7.00*), agility (10.60*).Explosive strength of legs (44.33*), speed (7.1*), cardiovascular endurance (5.5*).

 

The results were showed significant difference in muscular strength of arm & shoulder, muscular strength of abdominal, agility, explosive strength of legs, speed and cardiovascular endurance. Handball player was superior in speed, agility and cardiovascular endurance .Basketball player was superior in Explosive strength, abdominal muscles strength and muscular strength of arm & shoulder

 

CONCLUSION

• Handball player was superior in speed, agility and cardiovascular endurance.
• Basketball player was superior in Explosive strength, abdominal muscles strength and muscular strength of arm & shoulder.
