Combined effects of aerobic and anaerobic training on haemoglobin among hockey players

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the combined effect of aerobic and anaerobic training on haemoglobin among hockey players. To achieve the purpose of the study, 60 male hockey players who played at district level were selected from Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu, India. The selected subjects were randomly assigned in to four groups of (n=15) each, such as experimental and control groups. Experimental group I served as aerobic training group, Group - II, served as anaerobic training, Group III served as combined aerobic and the group IV served as control group. The pre and post test randomized control group design was use as experimental design. The collected data from the four groups prior to and immediately after the training programme on selected criterion variables were statistically analyzed with dependent‘t’ test to find out the significant improvement between pre and post test means of the both groups and analysis of co variance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference between experimental and control groups.
