Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of different training modalities on skill performance variables among male Kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose, 45 male Kabaddi players selected from RVS College of Engineering and Technology, Kannampalayam, Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu, were selected randomly as subject for this study. Further the selected 45 male Kabaddi players underwent different training modalities for 6 weeks (5 days per week). Group I acted as experimental group, group II acted as experimental group II and group III acted as control group. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups and each group consists of fifteen subjects. Group I underwent strength training, Group II underwent on court drills, Group III as control group for a period of six weeks. The investigator selected skill performance variables namely such as hand touch and holding for this study. Pre test post test random group design was followed in this study. The randomly selected subject of 45 Kabaddi players were randomly divided in three groups consisting of fifteen Kabaddi players in each group. The initial scores before the commencement of the experiment was assessed for all the 45 subjects on skill performance variables. The subjects underwent the respective experimental treatment for 6 weeks. After the experimental period of 6 weeks, post test scores on skill performances were measured. The data obtained from initial and final scores were statistically analyzed for test of significance using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). In all cases the significance level fixed was 0.05 level, which was considered as appropriate. The results of the study show that selected skill performance variables hand touching and holding was significantly altered by different training modalities among male Kabaddi players.
