Abstract: There is a large amount of evidence showing that an individual undergoing dehydration (during a tournament or the exercise regimen) has a negative impact on performance. Thus restoration of this fluid balance must be achieved. Sports drinks are ideally placed to fill both these roles. A sports drink is a beverage designed to help athletes rehydrate, as well as replenish electrolytes, sugars and other nutrients that are lost or depleted after strenuous exercise, training or competition. However, in a sports drink, a variety of substances and nutrients are dissolved in water to make the final product. Not only that, a variety of fruit juices can also be added which provide natural flavor and color rather than adding the artificial ones. In this project, a sports drink was developed mainly using Anandi variety of pomegranate (Punica granatum) and kokum (Garcinia indica). These fruits not only provide natural flavor and color, but also minerals which are essential for the enhancement of athletes' performance.

Abstract: Osteoarthritis is a slowly evolving articular disease, which appears to originate in the cartilage and affects the underlying bone, soft tissues and synovial fluid. Quantitative gait analysis is an important clinical tool for quantifying normal and pathological patterns of locomotion, and has also been shown to be useful for prescription of treatment as well as in the evaluation of the results of such treatment. The objectives of this study was to evaluate spatial gait parameters variations in patients with osteoarthritic knee as compared to normal healthy individuals. 100 subjects were included in the study, 50 normal healthy subjects and 50 subjects with bilateral knee osteoarthritis with age group of 40-60 years based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Before gait analysis, all subjects were given informed consent as advised by the Institutional Ethical Committee. Gait analysis was done for both groups with same protocol. Following gait parameters was measured individually for each subject: Step length [m], Stride length [m], Normalised stride length [%], Step width [m] and Foot angle [degree]. Paired and unpaired t- test will be used for the analysis of data. The study concluded that there was significant difference is spatial gait parameters in patients with osteoarthritic knee as compared to normal healthy individuals.

Abstract: An injury is a common phenomenon in the field of sports. Ranging from amateurs to the most seasoned sports personalities, almost every one faces the brunt of an injury at some point in their sporting careers. To gauge the effect and extent of these injuries, the members of the Indian women basketball team were examined for common sports injuries. While they represent the country at various international tournaments round the year, the results of the survey painted a very dismal picture. The longevity of a sports person's career depends critically on the severity of an injury. In some cases, severe injuries have an intense impact immediately. While on the other hand, there are also instances when an injury is ignored and remains untreated; this becomes worse and hinders the crucial functioning of a sports person on the field. Irrespective of the case, it is essential that all such injuries be avoided at all levels of the sport for its growth and development. It is an endeavor by the research scholars to isolate the most common and frequently occurring injuries so that the players, coaches, doctors and physiotherapists can concentrate and work on the preventive measures for them.
