The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent swiss ball training and Group ‘B’ underwent no training. Speed and agility was measured by 50 meters dash and shuttle run respectively. The data was collected before and after ten weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) technique to find out the effect of Swiss ball training programme. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The findings of the present study have strongly indicates that Swiss ball training of ten weeks has significant effect on selected motor fitness variables i.e., speed and agility of kabaddi players. Hence the hypothesis earlier set that Swiss ball training programme would have been significant effect on selected motor variables in light of the same the hypothesis is accepted.
