Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) of ulnar & common peroneal (CPN) nerves of bilateral side (i.e. dominant & non-dominant) of athletes who are engaged in an anaerobic type sport activity (sprinters & power lifters). A total of 40 male sprinters & power lifters with an average age, height and weight of 20.70±1.76 years, 171.38±3.31 cm and 71.06±6.04 Kg respectively, volunteered to participate in this study. Each subject’s MNCV was measured with the help of computerized equipment called “NEUROPERFECT” (Medicaid Systems, India) and the data was analysed using Mean ±SD, t- test and Pearson correlation. Results show that MNCV of ulnar nerve of right and left side was significantly different (p < .05).
