Abstract:
The researcher studied on the effect of Interval Training on Endurance and Playing Ability of Kho-kho players. The purpose of the study is to find out the effect of interval training on endurance and playing ability of Kho-kho players. Researcher hypothesized that, there might be significant effect of interval training on endurance and playing ability of Kho-kho players. This study was delimitated to the 30 Kho-kho male players only. The age of the subjects ranged between 18-25 years. To collect the data pre-test and post-test on cardio-vascular endurance and playing ability of Kho-kho players. 30 Kho-kho male players were selected as subjects. The subjects selected by using simple random sampling method. On the basis of pre-test means researcher formed 2 homogeneous groups namely 1) Experimental group and 2) Control group after six weeks interval training on the Experimental group only again data was collected on cardio-vascular endurance and playing ability of Kho-kho players. 600 yard run/walk test was administrated to measure the Cardio-vascular endurance and 3 judges test was administrated to check the playing ability of Kho-kho players. To determine the significant difference in the means on the performance of Sprinters between the two groups as well as between the pre-test and post-test means of experimental and control group 't'-test was employed. To find out the significance difference, level of significance was set at 0.05 levels. Findings of the study were insignificant difference observed between the pre test and post test of control group in Cardio-vascular Endurance. Significant difference observed between the pre test and post test of experimental group in Cardio-vascular Endurance. Significant difference observed in post test of control and experimental groups in Cardio-vascular Endurance. Insignificant difference observed between the pre test and post test of control group in playing ability. Significant difference observed between the pre test and post test of experimental group in playing ability. Significant difference observed in post test of control and experimental groups in playing ability. Significant in pre and post test of experimental group also in post test of both the groups. Hence the researcher hypothesis is accepted.
