Abstract

The number of participating universities in All India Inter University Competitions continues to increase day by day. The purpose of this study was to examine the middle distance performance (800m and 1500m) in seconds, average running velocity (d/t) and running ratio (men and women) of elite Indian varsity athletes (men and women). For the purpose of the study, AIIU records were obtained from Tamilnadu Physical Education and Sports University 2018, Dr.M.G.R. University and University of Madras (2016) respectively. In each event top eight performances were taken separately for men and women and converted into (1/10) seconds. The obtained data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA, the confidence level was fixed at 0.05. The Scheffe's post hoc test was used to compare the mean differences. In 800 m Indian varsity men athletes are improving their performance when compared with previous years. But in case of women this was not found. In 1500 m, Indian varsity men athletes fail to improve their performance. But women's are improved their performance as well as average running velocity. Further the performance ratio was better between women and men on 1500 m.
