Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the relative effect of SAQ training verses skill based training on agility performance of kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose of the study, forty five male kabaddi players from Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects. Their age ranged from 18 years to 23 years. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into three equal groups of 15 subjects each. Group-I underwent SAQ training, Group-II underwent skill based training and group-III acted as control. The selected dependent variable agility was assessed by shuttle run test before as well as after training. The assessed data of the three group’s was analyzed through paired ‘t’ test. Additionally, magnitude (%) of changes was also calculated. To abolish the early mean disparity, the three group’s data (pre & post) were calculated through ANCOVA statistics. When the ‘F’ (adjusted) score in ANCOVA was high, the post hoc (Scheffe’s) test was followed. The confidence level 0.05 was set. Due to the effect of SAQ and skill based training the agility performance of male kabaddi players were notably progressed however, SAQ training was much superior to Skill based training in developing agility performance of male kabaddi players.
