Effects Of Circuit And Plyometric Training On Breath Holding Time Of College Men Kabaddi Players

The purpose of study was to find out the effects of circuit and plyometric training on breath holding time of college men kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose of the study, forty five collegemen kabaddi players from Acharya Arts and Science College at Uruvaiyar, Villianur, Pondicherry were selected as subject. Their age group range between 18 to 22 years. The experimental design used for the present study was random group design was involving 45 subjects. This study consisted of two experimental group such as circuit and plyometric training group and one control group. Among the three groups, group I treated with circuit training, group II treated with plyometric training and group III acted as control group. Each group consist of 15 subjects and they were tested prior and six weeks of circuit training and plyometric training. During each testing period the criterion variable speed were tested. The analysis of covariance was used to find out the difference among the three groups. The Scheffe's post hoc test was used to find out the paired mean significant difference at 0.05 levels. The capacity of the breath holding time was better in circuit training group than the plyometric training group. The control group did not produce any improvement in criterion variable.
