AUTHOR(S): S Balasingh and Dr. D Jim Reeves Silent Night
ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of interval training on selected performance related fitness variable among athletes. A total of thirty athletes players from Coimbatore district schools were selected randomly as subjects. The age of the students ranged from 14 to 16 years. The selected subjects were divided into two groups namely interval training group and control group, Group A underwent interval training for eight weeks of two days per weeks. Group B acted as control group, who were not engaged in any special activities other than their daily routine. The Selected performance related fitness variable namely speed and power were measured by 50 yards dash and vertical jump test. The data were collected from each subject before and after the training period and statistically analyzed by dependent‘t’ test which is used to find out the significant improvement on selected criterion variables and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference between the experimental and control groups on each variables separately, All the cases 0.05 level of confidence was fixed as a level of confidence to test the hypotheses. It was found that there was a significant improvement in interval training group on selected performance related physical fitness variable among athlete’s players. It was found that there was a significant difference between the interval training and control groups on selected performance related physical fitness variable.
