Effect of six weeks of varied circuit training frequencies on speed and explosive power among volleyball players

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of 6 weeks of varied circuit training frequencies on speed and explosive power among volleyball players. To achieve the purpose of the study 30 volleyball players were selected as subjects from Chennai district. The age of the subjects were ranged from 18 to 25 years. The subjects were further classified at random into three equal groups of 10 subjects, Group - I underwent Low Frequency Circuit Training (LFCT) two days per week, group - II underwent Medium Frequency Circuit Training (MFCT) four days per week and group - III acted as Control Group (CG). Training period limited with 6 weeks of training. The selected criterion variables speed and explosive power assessed before and after the training period. The collected data were statistically analysed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). From the results of the study it was found that there was a significant improvement on speed and explosive power among the experimental group when compared with the control group.
