Effect of Varied Neuromuscular Training on Flexibility of School Athletes

The purpose of study was to find out the effect of varied neuro mucular training on flexibility of school athletes. To achieve this purpose of the study, forty-five school boys’ athletes from St. Mary’s school Nagercoil, were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged between 12 and 13 years. They were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1, underwent jump rope training the experimental group-2 underwent ladder training and group 3 served as control group and did not do any specific training. The flexibility was selected as criterion variable and the measurement was recorded in centimeters. The selected two treatments were performed 3 days in a week for the period of twelve weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of one-way analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups with. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study.
