Effects of two combinations of neuromuscular drills and asana practices on speed

The purpose of study was to find out the effects of two combinations of neuromuscular drills and asana practices on speed. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty school boys from Alagappa Fitness Foundation, Karaikudi, TamilNadu were selected as subject at random and their age range between 10 to 13 years. The study was formulated as pre and post-test random group design, in which thirty subject were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=10, NMD-AP) underwent neuromuscular drills combined with asana practices. The experimental group-2 (n=10, AP-NMD) underwent asana practices combined with neuromuscular drills and group 3 served as control group (n=10, CG). In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variables and the speed quality was selected as dependent variable and it was tested by 50 meters run, the clocked time was recorded in seconds. The selected two treatment group's was performed five days in a week for the period of six weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The performance of speed was collected before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analysed with apt statistical tool of analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA), 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. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study. The result clearly proved that there was significant improvement on speed in experimental groups than the control group.
