ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of complex training on explosive power among male hockey players. To achieve this purpose of the study thirty male students were selected from Alagappa University College of Physical Education, Karaikudi, during the year 2017-18. The subject’s age ranges from 18 to 23 years. The selected students were divided into two groups of fifteen each namely experimental group (complex training) and control group. The experimental group underwent complex training for three days per week for the period of twelve weeks. The dependent variable namely explosive power was taken as criterion variable in this study. Pre-test was taken before the training period and post-test was measured immediately after the twelve weeks training period. The selected subjects were tested on explosive power, it was measured by vertical jump test. Statistical Technique ‘t’ ratio was used to analyse the means of the experimental group and control group. The cases 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the hypothesis. The results revealed that there was a significant difference found due to complex training given to the experimental group on explosive power when compared to the control group.
