Effect of Concurrent Neuromuscular Training and Asana Practices on Speed of Primary School Children

The purpose of study was to find out the effects of concurrent neuromuscular training and asana practices on speed of primary school boys children. To achieve this purpose of the study, forty-five primary school boys children from Alagappa Physical Fitness Academy, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu during the year 2021-2022 were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged from 7 to 10 years. The study was formulated as pre and post-test random group design, in which forty-five subjects were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=15, NMT_bAP) underwent neuromuscular training before asana practices, the ex-perimental group-2 (n=15, NMT_aAP) underwent neuromuscular training after asana practices and group 3 served as control group (n=15, CG) did not undergo any specific training. Speed was selected as dependent variables. And tested by 50 Mts run were performed five days in a week for the period of six weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The performance of the speed was assessed before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analysed with apt statistical tool of one-way analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups with respect to each parameter. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups on speed.
