To achieve the purpose of the present study, forty-five inter-collegiate basketball players were selected from the affiliated colleges of Kerala University, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

The experimental group I (KPG) consisted of fifteen basketball players and they underwent the medium of Kalaripayattu selected skill training. The experimental group II (PEG) consisted of fifteen Basketball players and they underwent the medium of physical exercise training and group III acted as control group. The duration of the training period was restricted to twelve weeks. Kalaripayattu training and physical exercise training considered as independent variables. The physical variables (agility and flexibility) were known as dependent variables. The statistical technique covariance ANCOVA was used to analyze the pre-test and post-test data of Kalaripayattu training group and physical exercise group.
