Anxiety is a normal response of emotion when we feel under threat: it puts us on the alert and gets our body ready to fight with the danger. However problems arise when the threat is in our minds rather than a real physical danger, and when our thoughts and behaviours reinforce our anxiety instead of helping it melt away. Anxiety involves our thoughts, body reactions and behaviors. It is not a mental illness, it is a common psychological problem. The origins of an anxious mood lie with thoughts-Even thoughts that were not aware of having! Anxious thoughts will lead to anxiety reactions in the body, which are then reinforced by what we do or fail to do behaviour – wise. And an anxious person then tends to think more anxious thoughts- keeping themselves stuck in the vicious circle

The purpose of this study was to predict the performance ability of sprinters in relation to selected physiological variables. Twenty male athletes aged between 14-18 years were selected from Sports Authority of India (SAI) Lucknow. To find out the Physiological variables to the athletic performance correlations, multiple correlation and regression analysis statistical technique were employed. The result of the study showed significant difference except in Resting pulse rate, Negative breath holding time, Body composition, Systolic blood pressure, Diastolic blood pressure, Respiratory rate and Maximum expiratory pressure.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of varied packages of training on selected physiological variables of college women basketball players. Thirty subjects were selected from the Alagappa University College of Physical Education in Karaikudi and their age ranged from 19 to 23 years. The subjects were equally divided into three groups namely control and two experimental groups with ten subjects in each group. Control group (Group I) did not undergo any training programme rather than their daily routine work. The experimental group (Group II) underwent varied packages of training I (General training) and experimental group (Group III) were treated with varied packages of training II (Basketball skill related). Training was given for a period of 8 weeks, trained forty five minutes duration for six weeks except Sunday.
