For this purpose, sixty large area games of inter collegiate players were selected from Coimbatore Institute of Technology, Coimbatore Tamil Nadu India were selected as subjects at random.

The experimental group for 12 weeks 3 days a week for 90 minutes duration. The selected criterion variable muscular strength assessed with sit ups. After twelve weeks sand training practice post test data were collected and treated with dependent ‘t’test. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. The study results showed that the experimental group-I had significantly improved on muscular strength due to the effect of sand training group compared with and control group.
