The data related to Physiological Variables was collected blood sample of the subjects. The statistical analysis was performed by using the “t” test to achieve mean and standard deviation of the collected information. The results of study showed that the north region male hockey players were better in vital capacity, hemoglobin level, total cholesterol, HDL and VLDL.
