Keywords:
Explosive Strength, Flexibility, Judo, BoxingAbstract
Purpose: The study aims to compare explosive strength and flexibility between judo and
boxing male players.
Method: A total of 30 male subjects, fifteen each from judo and boxing male players of
Manipur, were randomly selected within the age range between 18 to 25 years. The players
participated in at least state-level and above tournaments. The test administration was
selected, such as the Sargent vertical jump for explosive strength and the sit and reach test for
flexibility. The pertaining data on explosive strength and flexibility were expressed in units of
centimetres and inches. The statistical techniques used for the data analysis were descriptive
and independent ‘t’ tests. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
Result: The outcome explored that there were significant differences in explosive strength and
flexibility between judo and boxing male players as the value ‘t’ = 2.35 and ‘t’ = 3.74
correspondingly.
Conclusion: The judgments signify in both explosive strength and flexibility between the judo
and boxing male players of Manipur.
