CHAPTER THREE
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter is concerned with the method of collecting related and relevant information needed for this work. It presents the research methodology adopted in this study. It has been presented under these sections; Population, Sample and Sampling Techniques, Research Instrument, Instrument Validation, Procedure for Data Collection, and Data Analysis Techniques.
Research Design
This study is a descriptive research of the survey type. A descriptive research describes the characteristics of a large population by selecting study sample of a given population or area of interest.
A descriptive survey typically seeks to ascertain respondents’ perspectives or experiences on a specified subject in a predetermined structured manner. This will enable the researcher to use the information obtained from the sample to draw inference about the target population in order to determine the various factors influencing student’s performance in sports in selected secondary schools in Ilorin West local Government Area of Kwara state.
Research Population
Research population consists of all secondary schools in Ilorin West Local Government of Kwara state.
Sample and Sampling Techniques
There are many secondary schools in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara state, out of which 10 schools were randomly selected. The researcher employed purposive and random sampling techniques to select 30 respondents used for the study from the selected schools.
Research Instrument
The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire. A 10-item questionnaire will be designed with the aim of eliciting information regarding the problems of this study. The questionnaire is sub-divided into two parts. Part A consists of respondent’s personal data, part B consists of the 10 items meant for their responses. The respondents are made to state their views using SPSS statistical method of data analysis.
Validation of Research Instrument
The instrument will be given to the researcher’s supervisor and other experts in the Department of Kinetics Education, University of Ilorin for validation. The supervisor and other two experts will assess the questionnaire and make the necessary corrections in order to amend the mistakes in the questionnaire. This is to ensure that the contents of the questionnaire are capable of eliciting the required responses from the teachers.
Reliability of the Instrument
Again, the researcher adopts a test-retest validity technique. The instrument will be given to some secondary schools teachers. This will be taken through test-retest reliability procedure for three weeks interval to the teacher in order to check whether the items are understandable to teacher, whether the items are adequate and if they represent all the requirements for good teaching. The reliability coefficient will be determined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient.
Procedure for Data Collection
The researcher will collect a letter of introduction from the Department. The letter of introduction will be given to the principal of the selected schools to seek approval before administering copies of the questionnaire on teachers. The researcher will give the teachers orientation on the importance of the research work. The collection of the instrument will be the same day. Immediately after distribution, the researcher waits to collect the administered questionnaire before leaving the schools. By implication, the researcher administers the instrument by himself without employing a research assistant. This is to ensure that the respondents get assurance of the researcher on the purpose of the work (being for academic purpose only).
Procedure for Data Analysis
The data collected will be analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical method. Data analysis techniques will be based on statistical analysis involving calculation, use of percentage, frequency distribution and table. The hypotheses generated will be tested using chi-square statistical method at 0.05 alpha level of significance.

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 7 ]The physiological factors    The physiological factors are the major factors in sport performances such as proportions of fast twitch and slow muscle fibers, anaerobic capacity, maximum strength and functional flexibility (Singer and Orbach, 2001).   The above factors are mostly the result of genetics. Individuals are differing in their physiological and psychological makeup. Factors which are innate include flexibility, the proportion of muscle fibers types, reaction time, hand eye coor ...
