10 TGfU & MINI GAME

1.7.7: Pulse-rate measurement Wrist radial
palpitation method was used to take pulse
rate at three different intervals to measure
recovery: (a) before mini game (warm-up
pulse rate), (b) immediately after mini game,
and (c) after 3 min of mini game play. The
pulse was taken for 10 seconds x 6 (for a 1-
min pulse rate reading).

1.7.8 Cardiovascular respond. As for
cardiovascular respond, this research
utilized MSFT instrument, developed by
Leger and Lambert (1983) to monitors the
development of the athlete’s maximum
oxygen uptake (VO max). This test requires
2
the athlete to run 20 m in time with a beep
from a CD recording.

1.8 Delimitation of the Study
There are several limitations to this research. The scope
of the research is on what is measurable and observable
parameters of 5 vs.5 game play (ball control, decision
making and skill execution), speed and accuracy
executing hockey skills, pulse-rate and cardiovascular
fitness (V02 max) among Indian junior hockey players
who trains at national hockey stadium at New Delhi,
India. This games coaching/training research is carried
out with the cooperation of sample of Indian junior
hockey players (boys 14-16 year old) who agree to
participate in the quasi-experimental study. As the
researcher deals with human beings, a number of ethical
concerns have been considered.
