“Innovative package of physical training detraining and retraining on speed amongcollege men sprinters”

The purpose of the study was to find out the Innovative package of physical training, detraining and retraining on speed among college men sprinters. To achieve the purpose of this study, 60 college men sprinters were selected as subjects from different colleges in Chennai, who had represented their colleges in inter-collegiate athletic meet. The selected subject's age group ranged from 19 to 24 years. The selected package of physical exercises was administered to the sprinters in a circuit manner at different stations for eight weeks and measured of their speed and performance of 100 meters run time which formed the training effects. Measurements data were collected on selected variables after two weeks on completion of training, which was considered as the short term detraining effect. Measurements data were collected on selected variables after four weeks completion of training, which was considered as long term detraining effect. After the completion of detraining phase, the subjects were again retrained following the selected package of physical exercises. After the completion of two weeks retraining, measurements taken on speed and 100 meter run time which were considered as short term retraining. On completion of four weeks of retraining, measures were taken and considered as long term retraining. The differences among means of initial, final, short term detraining, long term detraining, short term retraining and long term retraining were subjected to statistical treatment using repeated analysis of variance (Repeated ANOVA). In all cases to test the hypothesis, 0.05 level was fixed. It was concluded that. The package of physical training would improve the speed and 100 meter performance compared to pre training levels of college men 2. The long term detraining, retraining would significantly impact selected speed and 100meter performance compared to pre training levels of college men sprinters.
