 Abstract

Handball is a dynamic and physically demanding sport that requires a combination of strength, agility, endurance, and skill. This article examines the impact of various training modalities on the performance of college-level handball players in Kanyakumari District. Through an analysis of strength training, speed-agility-quickness (SAQ) training, circuit training, and sport-specific drills, the study highlights the effectiveness of these methods in enhancing athletic performance. The findings emphasize the need for a structured and periodized training approach to optimize physical and skill development.

To achieve the purpose of this study, 20 men kabaddi players were randomly selected as subjects from the St. Xavier's college, Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India. Their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as group 'A' yogic practices (n=10) and group 'B' acted as control group (n=10). Group 'A' underwent yogic practices for five days per week and each session lasted for an hour for eight week. Control group was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The "diastolic blood pressure" millimeters of mercury (mmHg) were used to measure Sphygmomanometer was selected as variables. The pre and post tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior and immediately after the training program. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the dependent't' test and Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The level of significant was fixed at 0.05 level. It was concluded that the yogic practices group had shown significantly improved in diastolic blood pressure. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on diastolic blood pressure.

To achieve the purpose of this study, 20 men B.Sc. physical education students were randomly selected as subjects from the St. Xavier's college, Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India. Their age ranged from 17 to 20 years. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as group 'A' yogic practices (n=10) and group 'B' acted as control group (n=10). Group 'A' underwent yogic practices for five days per week and each session lasted for an hour for eight week. Control group was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The "systolic blood pressure" millimeters of mercury (mmHg) were used to measure Sphygmomanometer was selected as variables. The pre and post tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior and immediately after the training program. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the dependent 't' test and Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The level of significant was fixed at 0.05 level. It was concluded that the yogic practices group had shown significantly improved in systolic blood pressure. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on systolic blood pressure.

 Abstract

The study was designed to find out the effect of resistance training and resistance training with protein supplementation on percent body fat. To achieve this purpose, forty five male students from the Department of Physical Education, Annamalai University were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the selected subjects were ranged from 18 to 24 years. The selected subjects were divided into three equal groups of fifteen subjects each at random. Group-I underwent resistance training for three days per week for twelve weeks. Group-II underwent resistance training with protein supplementation for three days per week for twelve weeks. Group-III acted as control. The percent body fat was selected as dependent variable. The data collected from the experimental and control groups on selected dependent variable was statistically analyzed by paired 't' test to find out the significant differences if any between the pre and post test. The data collected from the three groups prior to and post experimentation on selected dependent variable was statistically analyzed to find out the significant difference if any, by applying the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). In all the cases the level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level for significance. The result of the study also produced 8.95% of changes due to resistance training, and 15.85% of changes due to resistance training with protein supplementation on percent body fat.

 Abstract

Twenty male hockey players from St. Xavier's College in Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India, were chosen at random to serve as research participants. They were between the ages of 18 and 25. The chosen participants were split into two groups at random, such as group "A," which engaged in yoga exercises (n = 10), and group "B," which served as the control group (n = 10). Group "A" practiced yoga five days a week for eight weeks, including an hour-long session each day. The control group engaged in routine activities but was not given any special instruction. Bent knee sit-ups were chosen as a variable, and the "Abdominal strength" (minutes per count) was measured. Data on a few chosen criteria variables were gathered both before and just after the training session. The dependent "t" test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used to statistically analyse the pre- and post-test results. The significance threshold was set at 0.05. The group who practiced yoga was found to have considerably increased abdominal strength. However, there had been no discernible increase in abdominal strength in the control group.

 Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of footwork drills towards the development of boxer's speed and stability performance. A total of 20male boxer's from Anna Stadium, SDAT, Tirunelveli were randomly selected as subjects, with ages ranging from 15-17 years. The participants were divided into two groups: Group I underwent Footwork Drills (FD) while Group II served as the control group (CG). The experimental group followed a structured training program for five days a week (Monday to Friday) over eight weeks, with training sessions conducted in the evening. In this study, footwork drills (FD) was considered the independent variable, while speed and stability (Dynamic balance) were the dependent variables. These dependent variables were assessed using standardized test items: speed was evaluated using the 30-meter run test and stability was measured by "Y" balance test. A pre-test and post-test randomized design was employed for this research. Data were collected from each subject before and after the training period and analyzed using paired sample t-tests and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results indicated a significant improvement and a notable difference in speed and stability among boxers due to the combined effect of footwork drills.

To achieve the purpose of this study, 20 school men football players were randomly selected as subjects from the St. Xavier's school, Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India. Their age ranged from 17 to 19 years. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as group 'A' yogic with calisthenics (n=10) and group 'B' acted as control group (n=10). Group 'A' underwent yogic with calisthenics for five days per week and each session lasted for an hour for eight weeks.

The "Wall sit test" (seconds) was used to measure muscular endurance were selected as variables. The pre and posttests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior and immediately after the training program. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the dependent't' test and Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The level of significant was fixed at 0.05 level. It was concluded that the yogic with calisthenics practices group had shown significantly improved in muscular endurance. However, the control group had not shown any significant improvement on flexibility
