Abstract

For the present study, there were the male players (age: 18-25 years) who have participated at least State Level Tournaments of Manipuri players only. It is a comparative study under the descriptive type of research. The investigator was assessed and compared the self confidence among the volleyball players and handball players. A standard questionnaire was administered to the subjects. The researcher had visited all the clubs and institutions to give information in details before the test for taking the permission of players to collect the data’s for those who are participated for at least state level tournaments. For the data collection the time limitation of test will be one hour and all the instructions were shared to them before starting the test. After completed one hour the paper will collect on that day. Those who are incomplete in filling up questionnaires were not entertained in the present study. The study was further analyzed by computing raw score of the data. The data collected from the samples were arranged in a tabular form and to find out the significant difference of the variables. The t-test analysis was used for the comparing of two subjects. The entire analysis of the data was done on the basis of the objective of the study. The data score were obtained by administrating the questionnaire test of Self-confidence scale (SCS-GMLB) by Dr. Madhu Gupta and Bindiya Lakhani (2014). The result, in this comparative study, revealed that volleyball players are contributed to improve self confidence among the males players (t=4.48, p<0.05) (Table 1). The result as appeared seems to be logical and in turn supports the findings of many of the earlier research reports about self-confidence in volleyball and handball (Kristjan Kais and Lennart Raudsepp, 2004; Rafael E Reiga et al., 2019). Thus, the result finally concludes that the volleyball players are more self-confidence than handball players. In addition, regular practice of volleyball exercises had a long term effects to improve span of self-confidence.
