Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of different intensity of strength training program on speed performance among college men players. To achieve the purpose of the study, sixty male students studying under graduate courses at Alagappa University, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 18 to 21 years, 153 to 169 centimetres and 48 to 65 kilograms respectively. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into four equal groups of fifteen each (n=15) at random. Group–I underwent high intensity strength training, group–II underwent medium intensity straining training, group–III underwent low intensity strength training and group– IV acted as control. Speed was selected as a dependent variable and it was assessed through 50 meters run test. The data collected from the four groups prior to and post experimentation were statistically analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Since four groups were involved, whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The experimental groups had significant decrease on speed when compå to the control group.
