Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of combination of uphill and downhill training on knee kinematics and speed performance among college male students. For this study, twelve men students from Manner Thiumalai Naicker College, Pasumalai, Madurai were selected randomly as subjects. Selected variables knee kinematics (namely angle of knee flexion at foot strike and angle of knee extension at foot strike) and speed performance was tested at the beginning and end of six- week experimental treatment. The collected data was statistically analyzed by using dependent &lsquo;t&rsquo; test. It was found that there was significant improvement on speed performance and knee kinematics.</p>
