Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the “effects of 3 months skill-based training on volley pass, spike and service of volleyball players”. For this purpose sixty subjects were selected as players at random and their age was ranged between 14 to 18 years. They were divided into two equal groups of thirty players each. Group I underwent skill based drills training (Passing Drills, Hit and Block Drills, Service Drills for three days per week for 3 months. Group II acted as a control group that did not participate in any special training programme apart from their regular activities as per their curriculum. The following skill related physical fitness components namely explosive power and agility were selected as dependent variables. All the players of the two groups were tested on dependent variables, prior to and immediately after the training programme. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyse the significant the differences, if any, among the groups on selected dependent variables separately. Whenever they obtained ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post-test was found to be significant, if any the.05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered as an appropriate. The result of the study revealed that 3 months volleyball skill based training method has produced significant improvements in skill components such as volley pass, spike and service.
