Effects of Specific Training on Selected Physical and Physiological Variables among College Level Men Players

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of specific training on selected physical and Physiological variables among college level men players. To achieve the purpose thirty men players were randomly selected from the Maruthi College of Physical Education and Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University, Periyanaickenpalayam, Coimbatore. The age of the subject ranged from 18 to 24 years. The selected subjects were divided into two groups such as group-A experimental group and group-B control group, each group consisting of 15 subject. The experimental group underwent specific training. The following criterion variables were selected for the physical variables namely, speed, agility and leg explosive power and for the physiological variables such as breath holding time and resting heart rate. The training period was for eight weeks except on Saturdays and Sundays in every week. Data were collected from each subject before and after the eight weeks of specific training. The collected data were statistically analyzed by using ‘t’ ratio. It was found that there is significant improvement in speed, agility and leg explosive power due to the treatment of specific training. It was also found that there is significant improvement in breath holding time and resting heart rate due to the treatment of specific training.
