Effect of SAQ Training Associated with Speed Training on Agility Explosive Power and Speed among Engineering College Sports Persons

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect SAQ training on agility, explosive power and speed engineering college sports persons. Twenty four sports persons those who have participated in the intercollegiate tournaments of Anna University Zone Twelve, Chennai were selected randomly as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged from 18 to 25 years. The players those who participated in the Anna University Zone Twelve Intercollegiate Tournaments were selected randomly as subjects for the study. The selected subjects were divided into two groups. Group I underwent SAQ training associated with speed training and Group II acted as control. The experimental group (SAQ training associated with speed training) was subjected to the SAQ training associated with speed training for alternative three days for up to four weeks. The SAQ training associated with speed training was selected as independent variable and the criterion variables agility, explosive power and speed were selected as dependent variables and the selected dependent variables were assessed by the standardized test items. Agility was assessed by shuttle run test and the unit of measurement in seconds, explosive power was assessed by vertical jump test and the unit of measurement in centimeters and the speed was assessed by 50 mts run and the unit meters per seconds. The experimental design selected for this study was pre and post test randomized design. The data were collected from each subject before and after the training period and statistically analyzed by using dependent‘t’ test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). It was found that there was a significant improvement and significant different exist due to the effect of SAQ training associated with speed training on agility, explosive power and speed among engineering college sports persons.
