Dr. A. S. Nageswaran

Abstract :

The purpose of the present study was to find out the improvement on selected speed endurance and abdominal strength due to the effect of hill running among high school athletes. To achieve the purpose of the study, 24 athletes participating in various sprint events were selected from the Govt Hr Sec School, Thuvarankurichy, Trichy District at randomly. The age of the subjects ranged from 15 – 18 years. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups. Group I underwent hill running for three days per week over a period of twelve weeks and Group II acted as control group. Speed Endurance (150m run test) and abdominal strength (Sit Ups Test) was selected as dependent variables. The pre test and post test randomized control group design was used as experimental design. Pre test data was collected before the training programme and post–test was collected immediately after the training session. The collected data were statistically analyzed through analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). In all the cases 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the hypothesis. The result of the study reveals that there was significant improvement on selected dependent variables due to the effect of training and there was a significant difference between experimental and control groups of high school athletes.
