Relative effect of functional and weight training on strength among kabaddi players

The purpose of the present investigation was to find out the relative effect of functional training, weight training and combined functional and weight training on strength among engineering graduates. To achieve this purpose, sixty Kabaddi Players were selected randomly as subjects from Madurai Kamaraj University affiliated colleges. They were assigned randomly into four groups of fifteen each. Group-I underwent functional training, group-II underwent weight training and group-III underwent combined functional and weight training and group-IV acted as control. All the subjects were tested before and after the treatment on strength. The collected data analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Scheffe's test. The result of the study showed that due to the twelve weeks of training the strength of the subjects was significantly improved. The above mention studies are supporting my result of study and the investigator found that all the three experimental groups significantly improved the strength comparing to the control group due to the twelve weeks of experimental treatment. One factor is that sports is now a challenging field and intense motivation has encouraged long, hard hours of work and also coaching has become more sophisticated, partially from the assistance of sport specialists and scientists. All the coaches, trainers, physical education personals and doctors are doing their best to improve the performance of the players.
