Abstract
The purpose of the study was to assess and compare selected physiological variables among male volleyball players of different level. For the purpose of the study sixty (N=60) professional volleyball players with age ranged from 18 to 22 year, were selected from the Shopian & Kulgam District of Kashmir valley. The selected players were divided into three groups i.e., beginner, intermediate and advanced on the basis of highest level of play. Physiological parameters basal metabolic rate (BMR), fat percentage, fat weight & lean body mass were selected as variables for the study. Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, LSD post hoc test were employed. The result revealed that there was a significant difference in basal metabolic rate, fat percentage, fat weight & lean body mass between beginner, intermediate and advanced male volleyball players. It is concluded that BMR and lean body mass is higher in advanced than intermediate and beginner male volleyball players while fat percentage and fat weight is higher in beginner than intermediate and advanced male volleyball players.
