Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of physical combined physical cum yogic practices on selected speed and agility of kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose of the present study, forty five inter-collegiate level kabaddi players were selected as subjects at random and their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. The subjects were divided into three equal groups. The study was formulated as a true random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The subjects (N=45) were randomly assigned to three equal groups of fifteen men students each. The groups were assigned as physical exercises group (PEG), combined physical cum yogic practices group (PCYPG) and control group (CG) in an equivalent manner. The physical exercises group and combined physical cum yogic practices group participated for a period of twelve weeks and the post-tests were conducted. The training programme was scheduled at 6.30 to 7.30 am for alternate three days in a week for both the groups. The variable to be used in the present study was collected from all subjects before they have to treat with the respective treatments. It was assumed as pre-test. After completion of treatment they were tested again as it was in the pre-test on all variables used in the present study. This test was assumed as post-test. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the adjusted mean difference among the three groups. When the adjusted post test was significant, the Scheffe’s post-hoc test was used to find out the paired mean differences. Findings on speed and agility physical exercises group influences more than the combined physical cum yogic practices group.
