Effect of varied specific training on skill performance variables among school level hand ball players

The study was to find out the effect of varied specific training on skill performance variables among school level hand ball players. To achieve the purpose of the study, 80 handball players were selected from GKD matric higher secondary school, periyanaickenpalayam, Saravajana higher secondary school, peelamedu, SES matric higher secondary school, Ganapathy and Vidhyanikitan school, peelamedu. The age of the subjects was ranged between 15 and 19 years. 80 subjects were selected at randomly and the subjects were divided into four equal groups namely experimental group I, experimental group II, experimental group III and control group. Thus each group consisted of 20 subjects. The experimental group I underwent 12 week of plyometric training programme and experimental group II underwent 12 weeks of staircase training programme and experimental group III underwent 12 weeks of jump rope training programme and the control group did not involve in any specific training. The pre test and post test were taken to all the four groups before and after the training programme respectively. To analyses the data investigator used ANCOVA for this study. If ‘F’ ratio is found to be significant the investigator used Schaffer's post hoc test to find out the better group. The study was concluded that the plyometric training group, staircase training group and jump rope training group were better than the control group and also there is no significant deference among plyometric, staircase and jump rope training groups.
