Effect of isometric strength training program on strength components of school level handball girls

The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of eight weeks of isometric strength training program on strength components of school level handball girls (range between 14 to 16 years old) 40 girls handball players were divided into two groups: a handball isometric strength training group of experimental group (E N=20). A second group of slimier age served as a control group (C, N=20). Isometric strength training sessions were performed twice a week for 8 weeks. Performance was assessed before and after conditioning. Arm Explosive power was determined by Overhead medicine ball throw (forwards); Leg Explosive Power was improved through standing broad jump and Abdominal Muscle Strength of player was determined by Euro fit sit-ups. The date was collected of strength components of variables collected by various test are explained above the pre test and post test data were collected before and after the training program for a period of eight weeks. The collected data on Arm Explosive Power, Leg Explosive Power and Abdominal Muscle Strength due to the effect of isometric strength training program was analyzed by computing mean and standard deviation. In order to find out the significant improve if any ‘t’ test was applied. 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance. The probability level below, which the investigator objects, the hypothesis was terms as the level of significance. In analyzing mean and standard deviation. The ‘t’ ratio was needed 2.09 at <0.05 level of confidence for the degrees of freedom.
