Group ‘I’ underwent hockey training for three alternative days and one session per day and each session lasted for an hour for eight week period.

The data on and stress was measured by standardized questions (points) and vo2 max was measure by cooper test (ml/kg). The pre and post-tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training programme. The pre and post-tests scores were statistically examined by the dependent ‘t’ test. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 levels for all the cases in order to find out the significance.
