dc.description.abstractThis study was to investigate the cardiorespiratory fitness of seleoted groups of athletes, using timed distance running field tests designed for the durations of 9, 12 and 15 minutes. The test was administered to 180 athletes, 60 each for Hookey, Basketball and Volleyball with equal number of males and females of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, teams. Distances covered in the tests were measured in kilometers and measurements taken to the nearest meter. The major findings of this research are: 1. There was significant differences in the distanoes covered with the test durations, 2. There was significant difference among the male and the female groups in the average distanoe covered. 3. There was significant difference among the sport groups in the distance covered within the different time durations. 4. Certain independent variable, age, weight, have no significant relationship with performance for both sexes in the running time duration. Height and percent body fat was found to have a significant relationship with performance in the male group. Height was found to have a positive correlation (r = 0.452) percent body fat had a negative correlation (r -0.523).en_US
