The Effect Of Varied Modalities Of Training On Speed, Flexibility And Standing Throw Of Male College Cricket Plyers

The objective of the study was to find out the varied modalities of training on performance variable of male cricket players. For the purpose of this study, thirty male cricket selected subject from Art and science college Ooty, and their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. The 60 Subjects were randomly selected and they divided into four equal groups of 15 each, such as weight/sprint training group, aerobic training group, combination group and control group. The experimental group 1 underwent weight/sprint training for three days per week for eight weeks. The experimental group 2 underwent aerobic training for three days per week for eight weeks. The experimental group 3 underwent combination of weight/sprint training and aerobic training for alternative days per week for eight weeks The selected criterion variables were assessed using standard tests and procedures, prior to and immediately after the training programme. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used as a statistical procedure to establish the significant difference, if any, existing between pretest and posttest data on selected dependent variables. The findings of the study revealed that due to the effect of eight weeks combination of weight/sprint and aerobic training showed the better improvement. The selected physical  variables such as speed, flexibility and standing throw have significantly improved.
