Abstract:
This study sought to determine how six weeks of ladder skill training affected hockey players’ vital capacity. In order to accomplish this, forty (n = 40) male hockey players who practice daily in clubs and have at least competed in intercollegiate or state tournaments were chosen at random from Chandur Railway, Amravati. Peak Flow Meter equipment was used to measure the criteria variable of vital capacity. Players were split into two groups: experimental group (20) and control group (20). The program, which was designed with expert consultation and lasted for six weeks, was limited to the experimental group and involved ladder skill training. Following a six-week training program, post-tests were given to the experimental and control groups, and data was gathered. Result, with regard to vital capacity, difference observed in the pre and post-tests of both groups of hockey players. To determine whether significant or not, ‘t’ test was further computed by the researcher, and it indicates that significant was revealed between the experimental group of hockey players’ pre and post test results since the ‘t’ stat 5.028 is higher than the critical ‘t’ 2.093. However, there is no discernible difference between the pre and post test results for the control group. Result, with regard to vital capacity, indicates that significant was revealed between the experimental group of hockey players’. This implies, ladder skill training has an impact on hockey players’ vital capacity and may also have an impact on one’s fitness and health. Because ladder skill training can be programmed in a limited space, it is therefore far superior. Compared to regular workout, it burns calories far more quickly. In addition to strengthening their core muscles, ladder skill training encourages them to engage in a range of body-moving physical activities and reduces the risk of injury.
