An Analytical Study On Factors Determining Goal Keeping Ability In Field Hockey Goal Keeper

Abstract

The researchers set out to see how male field hockey goalkeepers fared across various skill levels in terms of response time. For this research, 45 male hockey goalkeepers, ranging in age from 18 to 24 years, were chosen. Intercollegiate, interuniversity, and national level participation each contributed fifteen out of forty-five courses. The themes that were chosen are all from the state of Punjab. The capacity to respond quickly was chosen for the research. Prior to data collection, all participants were gathered, each test question was described in detail, and they were given enough time to warm up before the test. Accurate "Ball reaction exercise test" demonstrations were carried out on the pitch. We compared the means of the various involvement levels using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method, with the significance threshold set at 0.05. When available, we utilised the least significant difference (LSD) metric to further narrow the results. The research found that the variable of response time ability was significantly different among field hockey goalkeepers at the senior national, inter-university, and intercollegiate levels.
