ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of sports specific drills training on selected strength physiological and skill performance variables of handball players. To achieve the purpose of the study 40 intercollegiate handball players were selected from affiliated colleges of Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. The selected subjects were assigned into 2 groups: sports specific drills training group ‘I’ (SSDT) (n = 20) and control group ‘II’ (CG) (n = 20). The respective training was given to the experimental group for 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for the period of sixteen weeks. The control group was not be given any sort of training except their routine work. The strength parameter core strength were measures by plank test, physiological variables O2 saturation were measures by pulse oximeter test and skill performance variables passing was assessed by Zinn team handball skill battery test. The data collected from the subjects was statistically analyzed with ‘t’ ratio to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the core strength, O2 saturation and passing improved significantly due to effect of sports specific drills training with the limitations of (diet, climate, life style) status and previous training the result of the present study coincide findings of the investigation done by different experts in the field of sports sciences.
