Abstract :

Purpose:The present study is designed to find out the effect of intermittent training, continuous running training and combined training on the eye–hand coordination among Anna university basketball playersSubjects:For this purpose,sixty men (N=60) Basketball players studying from various Collegesaffiliated Anna University, Chennai, Tamilnadu during the year 2015–2016 were selected randomly as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged from 18 to 21 years. The subjects were assigned in random into four groups of fifteen each (n=15) namely, Intermittent training, Continuous Running Training, Combined intermittent training and Continuous Running Training and Control group.Training Protocol:Group–I underwent Intermittent training, Group–II underwent Continuous Running Training, Group–III underwent Combined intermittent training and Continuous RunningTraining and Group–IV acted as Control.The duration of the training period for all the three Experimental groupswas restricted to twelve weeks and the number of sessions per week was confined to three in a week. For Combined intermittent training and Continuous Running the training period was restricted to alternative weeks for twelve weeks.Variables:The dependent variable selected for this study wasEye–hand coordinationwas assessed byBall transfer test.Statically Procedure:All the subjects were tested prior to the training and immediately after test, the training was given to all the selected variables. Data were collected and statistically analyzed using ANCOVA. Scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to determine the significant difference between the paired means. In all the cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed. Results:The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference was found among all the Experimental groups namelyIntermittent Training, Continuous Running Training andCombined Intermittent Training and Continuous Running Training groups had significantly decrease in the eye–hand coordination. Further the results of the study showed that the combinedintermittent training and Continuous Runninggroup was found to be better than the Intermittent traininggroup and Continuous Runninggroup in eye–hand coordination.
