Author(s): Piyush Prakash and Dr. Gagandeep Kaur
Abstract:The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of pollution on VO
2 Max of Male and Female Sports Person Training in Polluted and Non-Polluted Environments. For this two places were selected Delhi with high level of pollution and Raxaul, Bihar with low level of pollution.
Participants: For the purpose of this study, ten male and ten female athletes from polluted city i.e., Delhi were selected randomly and similarly from a non-polluted city i.e., Raxual, East Champaran district of Bihar. Athletes were not sports specified. The subjects selected for the study had been training 4-5 days a week. The age group of the subjects was between 18-25 years. All the athletes had already completed their schooling from Central Board of Secondary Education.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of VO2 max for males training in Delhi is 42.0697 and 2.97854189. The mean and standard deviation of VO2 max for males training in Bihar is 44.675 and 3.442240614. The T- ratio of both the males group is 0.043692868. The mean and standard deviation of VO2 max for females training in Delhi is 32.4179 and 4.2442027. The mean and standard deviation of VO2 max for females training in Bihar is 34.291 and 4.26374981. The T-Ratio of both the females group is 0.168941185. The statistical analysis of the data revealed that the VO2 max of the athletes training in Non-Polluted area was slightly better than that of athletes training in Polluted area.
Conclusion: The athletes who performed in non-polluted areas of Bihar had better results of maximal oxygen consumption. As per the tabulated value of 1.734 females have more significant figures as compared to the males of both the regions of Delhi and Bihar.
