Abstract :

The present study is designed to find out the effect of isolated and combined intermittent training, continuous running training on speed performance of inter school cricket players. To attain the purpose, sixty men (N=60) Cricket players studying from various schools in Ramanathapuram District, Tamilnadu during the year 2014–2015 were selected randomly as subjects. The subjects were assigned at randomly into four groups of fifteen each (n=15). Group–I underwent Intermittent training, Group–II underwent Continuous Running Training, Group–III underwent Combined intermittent training and Continuous Running Training and Group–IV acted as Control. The duration of the training period for all the three Experimental groups was 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. Among various Coordinative ability components, only the Speed is selected as a dependent variable. Speed was assessed by 50 Meters Run test. All the subjects were tested prior to the training and immediately 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. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference among all the Experimental groups namely Intermittent Training, Continuous Running Training and Combined Intermittent Training and Continuous Running Training groups and significantly increased in the Speed Performance. Further the results of the study showed that the Combined intermittent training and Continuous Running group was found to be better than the Intermittent training group and Continuous Running group in Speed.
