Abstract:

Sports perhaps may be viewed as that aspect of human activity, which essentially strengthens the integration of body and mind. The term sport has been coined from the word “disport" which means diverting oneself merely for fun or merry making. Recently, it has been felt that apart from the purposeful use of physical activities and games as a measure of maintenance of general health, happiness and fitness for personal factors that develop among participants, it also develops total personality. Scientific investigations, minute observations and experiences by coaches, physical education teachers and sports-oriented persons in the allied field have brought to light a variety of psychological, physiological, sociological and other factors which are found to be the outcome of participation in physical activities among athletes. Success in sports is generally attributed to the level of physical fitness, psychological variables, techniques and tactics. An achievement in sports is always a many sided phenomenon in the sense that is depends on many factors such as physique, motor fitness, techniques, tactics, physiological conditioning, personality traits, motivation level, aggression level during training and socioeconomic status etc. In today’s techno-scientific age, the world has completely changed in all aspects due to discovery and research.
