With increasing globalization, the marketing in sports have changed drastically since past three decades. India being the 7th largest country consisting of 17.74% of world population with 1.34 billion people residing (National portal of India, 2018) is a huge market for any industry. Additionally, Cricket being considered as religion and emerging market of Indian Premier League (IPL), Indian Super League (ISL) and Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) are evidence of the blooming sports market in
India. On the other hand, with the Digital India initiative started by Government of India, digital marketing also got a boost to a great extent in the past few years. Moreover, 98% out of the total population exposed to internet uses different social media platforms (WARC, 2017) in India. This paper aims to conduct a comparative study on the utilization of social media platforms by European
and Indian sports market. This paper will also contribute towards the emerging literature on how the social media platforms are utilized within sports market from marketing and networking point of view specially in India, hence revealing additional opportunities to increase fan base online for the managers.

The purpose of the study is to find out the Effect of Physical activity on Cognitive Development of Autistic Children of Roshni Ramakrishna Ashrama, Gwalior (M.P.). Five (N=5) subject were selected for the purpose of present study (mix group, boys= 03 & girls=02), age ranged from nine (9) to fifteen (15) years, according to Ashrama record, walking, carrying, balancing, cleaning, engaging in novel play, pushing, pulling, rotation, bending, and locomotion, and recreational
activities are consider as Physical Activity to measure the Cognitive Development through Trail Making Test (TMT) Parts- A & B (consists 25 circle, A=number 1 – 25, B= both numbers & letters 1 – 13, A – L), before and after the Trail Making Test. In order to find out the effect of physical
activity on Cognitive Development of autistic children, pre-test and post-test data was collected. Comparison was done by the means of paired‘t’-test. Significance difference was found at .05 level of significance.

Physical Education is an indispensable of education as if contributes to the health, to the emotional and mental development of an individual. In the modern era we cannot undermine the importance of relationship between general education and physical education. These are complementary and supplementary to each other. Their aims and objectives lead towards common goal–the all-round development of personality, enabling the man to lead enriched, abundant and harmonious life.
Therefore, physical education is an integral part of general education and their relationship cannot be ignored. They are inter-related and inter-dependent, and constitute an indivisible whole. Physical Education as an integral part of all educational programs, deserves to be appreciated. The outcomes of these programs extend much beyond the horizons of keeping fit and healthy. They become positive inputs for the development of multiuse proficiencies, neuro-muscular skills, values and attitudes, which have great potential as foundations for success in life. Activities like rhythmic, expressive movements, dance, mass-drill, flag salutation and singing of the National Anthem do in the course of celebrations of national days and other events certainly go a long way in strengthening national integration. It helps students to realize and appreciate the contributions of these activities in physical, mental, moral, social and emotional development.

This study was to compare the explosive strength between handball and badminton players of state level or national level. For this study 30 players was selected, which consist of 15 players each from both the games. Independent‘t’ test was employed as statistical tool for finding the statistical significant difference among handball and badminton players of state and national players. The age of the players were ranging from 18 to 25 years. The data pertaining to this study were collected by using suitable test for explosive strength namely vertical jump on the selected subjects. To calculate an analysis data, independent‘t’ test was employed and the finding of the study revealed statistically that, there was insignificant in variable of explosive strength between the handball and badminton players of state level or national level players. Hence, the hypothesis was rejected.

Basketball player is most effective when he can start quickly and move with “controlled speed” to a given spot on the floor. Basketball is more often a game of nimble and quick bursts of speed from side to side and fluent forward and backward movements on playing surface. Although much attention is usually given to the period of activity during an interval workout, the training stimulus
associated with performing intervals occurs from a combination of work and recovery. This is what makes interval training different from continuous training. Therefore, the duration and nature of the recovery periods are also an important part of interval training. A very short recovery period may not allow the body to recover sufficiently to perform the next work interval at the desired intensity.
The research methodology used for the study was an experimental design using three phases, viz. Pre-test, Treatment/training phase and Post-test. The Eighty subjects from different Schools in and around Wadala/Matunga area in Mumbai were selected using the simple random technique. The Subjects were divided into two equal groups, viz. Experimental group and Control group. The data
was analyzed using the paired t-test statistical technique. The null hypothesis of equality of mean Skill variables viz, Dribbling, Shooting and Passing in experimental and control groups is rejected, and it may be concluded the average Skill ability of the boys in experimental and control groups in the interval training program is not the same. It may be concluded that the interval training program
is effective for improving the Skill abilities of basketball players aged 12 to 14 years.

A silent revolution in children’s health is under progress in Uttar Pradesh’s busy cities and peaceful rural. Examining the fitness levels of 100 schoolboys aged 12–14 from urban and rural parts of Ghaziabad District, our study probes the core of this phenomena. Three main components of physical fitness—grip strength, abdominal endurance, and cardiovascular stamina—were our main emphasis. With rural youngsters often surpassing their city counterparts, the data create a remarkable picture of how environment moulds young bodies. This study not only clarifies the present level of children’s fitness but also begs significant issues on lifestyle, education, and the direction public health in India will take.
