Comparative Study of VC Cup Athletics Results and National Records

Abstract

This is a comparative study of the athletic performances of male and female athletes in the VC Cup, the most anticipated competition among all TU-constituent campuses. The main purpose of the study is to compare the results of the athletes and their performances in the years 2080 and 2081 in the VC Cup. Similarly, results are also compared with the Nepalese National Records to bring the hidden information and athletic situations of constituent Campuses. The study is done only in some common events that are conducted in both years. The events are 100m, 200m, and 800m in running, Shot Put in throwing, and Long Jump in jumping. These performance data are taken from publications of the Tribhuvan University Student Welfare and Sports Directorate, Kirtipur. This comparative performance analysis shows that the results of the year 2081 performances are improving compared to the year 2080, except for a slight downfall in 800m and long jump in the male categories. The results of both years, compared with the National Records, showed that the performances are quite far behind, but in 100m, the result is quite close to the performances in both male and female categories. Analyzing as a whole, athletes and campuses need to have necessary preparation and practice with proper planning before the VC competition, which will definitely be fruitful in improving the performances of athletes and contributing to Nepalese Athletics.
