The study aimed to find out the differences in physiological parameters of state and
national-level female archers. In this comparative study, an independent sample t-test
was used to compare both groups. A total of ten female archers participated in this
study, of which five were National-level archers, and 5 were state-level archers. Resting
heart rate, RHR was measured from the radial artery, resting respiratory rate RRR was
manually observed, OneTouch automatic glucometer was used to measure blood glucose
level BGL, and a stopwatch was used to count time for passive Breath-holding capacity
PBHC. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure SBB, DBP were measured by all archers
using a Medigold Conventional sphygmomanometer. On comparing the outcomes of
the independent sample t-test at 0.05 significance level, it was interpreted that Blood
glucose level was high in National level archers. Systolic Blood Pressure was low in
State level archers. Still, there was negligible difference interpreted in Resting Heart
rate, Breathe Holding Capacity, Resting Breathe Count and Diastolic Blood Pressure
of both level archers.
