Effect of six weeks circuit training on selected motor abilities of the male Kho-Kho players

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of six weeks circuit training on selected motor abilities of the male Kho-Kho players. The researcher has selected forty inter collegiate Kho-Kho men players at random, their age ranged from 18 to 20 years. The subjects selected for the study were divided into two equal groups and designated as experimental group ‘A’ (N1=20) and control group ‘B’ (N2=20). Each and every one the subjects were informed about the aim of the investigation. The subjects from Group-A were subjected to six week of circuit training programme. Group-B acted as control who did not contribute any particular training separately from the normal curricular activities. The statistical analysis and interpretation was done on the basis of data collection the data was analyzed and interpreted by using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) method. The level of significance was kept at 0.05 to testing the hypothesis. Result: Circuit training group reveals significant improvement pre-test and post test period on speed, agility and strength variables when compared to the control group.
