Abstract:
This study was to find out the combined and isolated effect of swiss ball and ladder training on leg strength among school students. To achieve this purpose of the study eighty men students selected from in and around Perambalur, Tamil Nadu, India and their age ranged between 14-17 years will be selected as subjects. The selected subjects will be divided into four equal groups, in which, group – I (n = 20) will undergo swiss ball training for five days per week for twelve weeks, group – II (n = 20) will undergo ladder training for five days per week for twelve weeks, group – III (n = 20) will undergo both swiss ball and ladder training for five days per week for twelve weeks and group – IV (n = 20) will act as control which do not participate in any special training. The subjects were tested on leg strength before and after the training period. Prior after the training period leg strength were measured by using squat. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was applied as statistical tool for the present study. The Scheffé S test was used as post-hoc test at whatever point the ‘F’ - ratio of the adjusted post-test means were discovered to be significant at 0.05 level of significance. Both swiss ball, ladder training and combined training group influence on leg strength when compared with control group. Combined (swiss ball and ladder training) may have better influence on leg strength of school students.
