Efects of Varied Intermittent Sprint Training on Explosive Power Among the Intercolligiate Hockey Player

The intention of current study was to find the “effect of varied intermitted sprint training on explosive power among the intercollegiate hockey player. ”To achieve this purpose of study, seventy five male hockey players from affiliated colleges of Kurukshetra University located Kurukshetra district, Kurukshetra, were selected as subjects at random. The age of the subjects ranged from 18 to28 years. The selected subjects were divided into four experimental groups and a control group. Group-1 performed 15mts/40rep with 1: 4 exercise rest ratio, Group-2 performed 15mts/40rep with 1: 6 exercise rest ratio, Group-3 performed 40mts/15rep with 1: 4 exercise rest ratio, Group-4 performed 40mts/15rep with 1: 6 exercise rest ratio, and Group-5 acted as control that did not participate in any special training programme. The explosive power was preferred as dependent variable. All the subjects of five groups were tested the selected needy variable at prior and immediately after the programme of twelve weeks. The data was collected for all the groups on explosive power by using vertical jump test; the unit of the measurement was in centimeters. The data were collected from the five group two days before prior to and two days after the training programme on explosive power as pre and post test items. Ancova was used to find out adjustment posttest mean difference of five groups with respect to explosive power and Scheffe's post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups. There was a significant difference among the four different intermittent sprint-training group and control group on speed. 40 meters with 15 repetitions, 1: 6 exercise rest ratio methods was better improvement on explosive power, than the other groups.
