Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to find out the analysis of the assisted and resisted sprint training on anaerobic power among male kabaddi players. For this purpose, thirty male kabaddi players from Annamalai University, Annamalainagar, Chidambaram, Cuddalore District, Tamilnadu aged 18 to 24 years took part in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to assisted sprint training group (n=10), resisted sprint training group (n=10) and control (n=10) group. The training regimen lasted for three days per week for twelve weeks. The assisted sprint training exercises included in this training programme was downhill sprinting, assisted towing and high speed treadmill sprinting. The resisted sprint training exercises included in this training programme was weighted vest, sprint parachutes and harness running. The criterion variable selected was anaerobic power and it was assessed by using Running based anaerobic power test prior to and immediately after the training. The collected data were statistically treated by using ANCOVA, and 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance.  When the obtained ‘F’ ratio was significant, Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out the paired mean difference. The findings of the study revealed that due to the effect of twelve weeks of assisted and resisted sprint training the anaerobic power of male kabaddi players was significantly improved.
