Prediction of Playing Ability in Handball from Selected Anthropometrical, Physical, Physiological, Psychological and Performance Variables Among Inter University Level Men Handball Players

You are being asked to participate in a research investigation as described in

this form below. All such investigating projects carried out are governed by the

regulations for research on human beings. These regulations require that the

investigator obtain from you a signed agreement (consent) to participate in this

After discussion, if you agree to participate in the project, please sign this

form in the presence of a witness and the investigator. You may discontinue at any

time from the investigation if you choose to do so.

I. Purpose and Procedures:

The purpose of this research project is to predict the handball playing ability

from selected physical fitness, physiological, psychological and performance

variables.

5 The subjects involved in this project will be hundred trained male handball

players. Participation in this project would require you to perform a certain tests to

measured physical, physiological, psychological and performance variables.

The procedures used to collect data are routinely conducted in exercise

physiology departments and will not represent a new experimental method.

II. Risks and the Safeguards:

The risks of this project are small. While administering the tests you may

experience localized muscle fatigue in your thighs. You might feel some muscle

soreness and fatigue during and after the cessation of the exercise tests.

We do not expect any unusual risks as a direct result of this project. Should
