Analysis of Coordination Abilities, Balance and Reaction Times among Wrestlers from Varying Weight Categories

Abstract

This research, conducted at the Department of Physical Education, Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo, Punjab, aimed to examine the coordination abilities, balance, and reaction times among wrestlers in various weight categories. Here is a summary of the primary findings.

Sample: The study involved a total of 60 male wrestlers, randomly selected from Guru Kashi University,Talwandi Sabo, Punjab during the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 sessions. The participants were aged between 18 and 23 years and were divided into three groups based on their weight categories: below 57 kg, 58-65 kg, and 66-74 kg, with 20 wrestlers in each group.

Data Analysis: The collected data were analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques, with a significance level set at 0.05. The ANOVA test was applied to evaluate the differences in coordination abilities, balance, and reaction times across wrestlers from different weight categories.

Hypothesis: The study hypothesized that significant differences might exist in coordination abilities, balance, and reaction times among wrestlers in varying weight categories.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that wrestlers in different weight categories may exhibit notable differences in their coordination abilities, balance, and reaction times.
