Indigenous or rural or tribal games have been recently identified under the promotion of rural and indigenous tribal games as a component of the Khelo India scheme. It is indeed necessary to know the mental toughness of these sports persons participating in indigenous sports as well so that they can be coached better. It is also essential to have a look at the interaction effect of types of sports in the form of indigenous and non-indigenous sports with sports results on mental toughness. Since females actively participate in both of these and there is a dearth of studies on them, this study was planned. To conduct the study 160 national female sports persons were selected and their average age was 23.11 years. The sample comprises 80 national female sports persons from indigenous sports such as Kho-Kho and Wrestling while 80 national female sports persons representing non-indigenous sports such as Volleyball and Athletics. Out of these 40 medal-winner female sports persons, 40 non-medal-winner female sports persons were selected from indigenous sports while 40 medal-winner female sports persons, while 40 non-medal winner female sports persons were selected from non-indigenous sports. The mental toughness of female sports persons was assessed through a questionnaire standardized by Tiwari (2007). A 2x2 ANOVA design was adopted for this study and the results reveal a significant impact of indigenous and non-indigenous nature of sport on the mental toughness of female sports persons in which female sports persons from non-indigenous sports showed significantly superior mental toughness as compared to female sports persons participating in indigenous sports. The main effect of sports results was also found to be statistically significant with medal-winner national female sports persons showing superior mental toughness as compared to non-medal winner national female sports persons. The interaction effect of these two variables was not observed on the mental toughness of national female sports persons. It was concluded that the indigenous-non-indigenous nature of sports and sports results can potentially predict mental toughness in national female sports persons individually but not collectively.
